in my view our very adult problems are the result of how past generations limited us. racism, classism, sexism, religious hatred, etc are all cultural limitations that have been passed down in one way or another, generation to generation, to this day. children are unique, they are special. they haven't been "broken" in yet. i just read an article this morning that detailed research into the mind of infants. they are aware of much more of their surroundings than we are, because we are conditioned to filter out most of the "noise" that obscures what we've been conditioned to focus our attention upon. when we limit our children in the way i am describing, we are shattering their vision of the potentials for life on our world by forcing them into the same mold we were forced into.
i feel like i know what direction humanity is headed, i just don't know exactly how we'll get there or what will happen after. the way i see it all of our very adult problems are culminating like the end-game of a behavior that leads one to rock bottom. we're bending under the pressure and if we don't move to compensate for it, snap! and where will or esteemed, very adult problems have led us then? is that what you would call evolution? no, the name of that game for evolution is for a species to adapt to the circumstantial pressure of its environment. doing the same shit on a day that's different enough could get you killed, ya heard?
