And I think that you severely underestimate the potential in the human race.See without the dark ages, organized pedophilia promoting and money laundering religions, and government maffia thugs, we`d be better of as a human race, if none of these would have happened, then by now we would live in an utopic society with flying cars, 100% ecologic enviroment, 500 years lifespan, no famine, no sickness,world peace etc.
All the limitations that we had was due to our own inability to recognize our own inner potential, and hand over all our power to some powerhungry thugs who will abuse and control us throughout our lives.
I think that even the ignorant lazy masses have unimaginable potential, but about 80% of their ignorance or lazyness comes from a lack of motivation or lack of opportunity.
For example: if a poor child in Ethiopia is a very talented violinist, but he just has no opportunity to show that to the world, because his country is ruled by warmongering warlords which always cause civil wars, and destroy the economy and the society, then obviously that poor child has not much future, he is demoralized, and will probably work as a serf or a grunt in some offshore western company for almost free wages. He has the potential, he would have the willpower too but his enviroment is just not letting him to do. Now you might say, he could emigrate, but he doesnt have money.
Besides, not everyone is so lucky with emigration, most of them get kidnapped and then become human traffic victims.
So if the powerhungry thugs destroy the enviroment around, the whole population will suffer, and even the productive members become demoralized, and sad.
The other problem is over-regulation, and taxes. The only regulation i would support is in the food industry, because obviously you dont want some moneyhungry freak to sell you poisoned food, but otherwise, there is absolutely no need to regulate any other market except the food. The free market can always take care of the weak links in an economy, provided that is Laissez Faire oriented (with no bailouts of any kind).
While taxes are just pure robbery, you are forced to pay so that some politician thug could go on state-paid vacation in Dubai, i mean give me a break. Most politicians spend more time in holiday than in office, which is actually good because the less time they think about passing new tax laws, the better, but still its unfair that the population has to pay so that these freaks could spend it on luxury stuff. I`m just so frustrated about this.
