And it made me think because his perspective is almost complete opposite than mine on a lot of things. At this point I don't know if its because he is younger than me and hasn't had the same experience as me in life or what but im curious to know if there is anyone reading that can see where he is coming from and explain it to me.
We were arguing about what we think the future is going to be like his perspective is that essentially according to his gut feelings the world is going to get F*cked real hard one day like how back in the day how Hitler went crazy and whatnot.
I acknowledged that there have been a lot of fuked up shit that happened in the past, but historically the world is much more progressive right now (despite of all the really f*cked up stuff that happens) than it was back then. I supported my argument citing various examples of medieval practices that would occur frequently on a larger scale back a few centuries, and while that there are a lot of controversial things that go on these days such as drone attacks and ISIS, the impact on the volume was much more drastic back in the days and that statistically the world is becoming more peaceful. I also made an argument of how technology is making the world more progressive.
He argues that tech can be misused by a bad guy with the wrong intentions and can cause swift damage on a large scale. he basically has a doomsday theory on that the world is getting to the point where it will be easier to do a lot of damage by a single person. so I'm not quite sure on that because I never thought about it.
He also says that technology is growing so fast, that we are going to implode because of environmental damage. this made no sense to me so i had to ask him what he was talking about. he was mentioning how we won't be able to do something about global warming fast enough, and i was like that's not true we have engineers working on it and have been for a while. it also looks promising (future of green technology) as one of the leading issues, funding, will be likely resolved for many startups for various reasons. he then diverts and talks about he doesn't think it will be in time and other things of that nature.
idk man im just fkin confused. there's always two sides to every story, so i want someone to clear this up for me. what do you think?
cliffs:
-friend says he feels like world is getting worse
-i say it just seems like that but there is some evidence that suggests world is becoming more peaceful.
- says some bad guy can misuse rapid tech growth to F*ck over the whole world by creating some sort of apocalypse.
- i say thats a real big speculation and im not sure i can agree or disagree
- says humans wont be able to fix environmental problems quick enough and eventually meet our doom due to being destined to fail due to it being our "story"
- i need someone's opinion on whether some of the stuff he says is true or not and to also clear up misunderstandings i have
