WTF is wrong with our society???

So everyone feels it right? you feel it, I feel it, the politicians KNOW it. Our society is fucked up, right? Do you really think it's normal for us humans (I use that term lightly for myself and many others, BTW) to be hurting, stealing from, and killing each other??? Really? Well I posit that it is not normal. Yes I know that we have only been separate from our primal, evolutionary forebears for a scant number of centuries yet our cerebral development has seemingly outstripped our roots. But alas, we still seem to be beating each other over the head and stealing each others belongings in order to get by - so what gives?

I proffer the following: humankind has been tinkered with in varying ways by external forces in order to cause the current level of chaos which makes us vulnerable to malicious exploitation.

How? By injecting higher levels of technology into our civilization than humankind was prepared for emotionally and spiritually. They have also corrupted our spiritual growth by using their highly advanced technology to impersonate divine beings thereby forcing humans down a developmental path conducive to their agenda. I mean does anyone really believe that the creator of the universe actually dictated 10 somewhat inane edicts to an old guy named Moses on a desert mountaintop some several thousand years ago? Or that one of God’s most trusted employees (named Gabriel) met with a middle eastern man in a cave (also out in the desert) hundreds of years ago to provide him with humanity’s user manual?

When? By all accounts this unsolicited unearthly contact has been going on for thousands of years; since before the establishment of human urban centers (or cities) that were based on agriculture. We have cave paintings depicting concepts ranging from flying saucers to non-human looking creatures in what appear to be suits similar to those worn by our astronauts. AND pretty much all ancient human societies have creation myths and anecdotes relating to beings coming down from the sky to provide knowledge and guidance.

Why? Well that’s the big question isn’t it? During my younger formative years I thought on this question quite often. I had eventually come to the conclusion that any civilization that had advanced far enough to travel to other stars must have outgrown the types of tribal warfare, power-mongering, and wealth hoarding that has so marked Earthly society. I now know that this is far from the truth. Apparently the majority of planet based civilizations in the universe pursue the same path to destruction that humans have followed. And by the time they have acquired the ability to mingle with other species in their galactic neighborhood, they have burned through a large part of their planet’s natural resources and thus go into space in a quest to seek what they need to survive on other worlds.

So that encompasses the main genesis of the predicament that we currently find ourselves in. Humans have consumed themselves into a unsustainable corner by misuse and overuse of Earth’s resources all the while those resources that rightly belong to humanity are being coveted by beings who were once just like us. What to do? What to do? That will be discussed in the next installment.
