The world can certainly do better than this. Here's why.

Broken

The world is broken. It has not been broken by accident, really, it has been broken on purpose. It has been broken by those who would rather see it come undone than operate within its natural, logical, and ethical bounds. It is being reformed, constantly reestablishing new designs that favour the designers, to the detriment of those that believe the old world, recently pushed into obsolescence, still exists. Without reporting that the world order has changed, and without permitting participation in the establishment of this order, the few and the elite will enjoy further exploitation of the underclass. Of course, they don't see a problem with that.

This broken world is the one that bears most of the desires of the participants. However, whether these designs are of induced desire or of actual desire, the distinction is virtually ignored. What the participants in a World want is often very different that what their desires and appetites tell them that they want.

This broken world is the one that requires the least effort to live in. It is manifest of the minimum amount of responsibility and a minimum amount of knowledge. In so doing it absolves humanity of any wrongdoing. It cannot be helped, the things that we do, it is in our nature.

In identifying the tree of knowledge with original sin, it exalts the value of ignorance; which, though blissful, yet remains ignorant. Sloughing off responsibility on God, hoping to debt that humans have any culpability for actions in the universe is the worst of the offenses of religion.

Desires fulfilled and responsibility lacking, the world promotes a child-like perspective. Every action is self-justifying and requires no sacrifice. Further, as more children are born into a world that reinforces a peter pan syndrome, the beliefs and expectations held for each other and the world are pushed more toward an unattainable ideal.

The conclusion of this process of aggressive regression is humanity as less than a child-species, it is humanity as a fetal species. Adults will return to the womb, having every concern removed and every requirement for knowledge undone. The living state of the adult human will be that of a comatose person, as asleep to the passage of events, of time, and of life as a sleeping child. "Living" will be an exercise only of the mind; at that, it will be of little exercise.
