Just take a look at the state of our world never mind the planet we all live on.

What do you see?

Not the multibillionairs, not the bible bashing churches, not the starving, not the homeless, not the refugees, not the beauty of the planet with its finite resources, not the billions of us, not the future, not the past, and certainly not a world that after millions of years of evolution you would be proud of handing on, never mind want to live in.

Instead. What one see is.

We’ve got little understanding of what makes us human.

We’re got the capacity and ability to wipe yourself off the face of the planet.

We’ve got worthless spending on defence, when a AI cyber attack could wipe out not just computers, companies, countries but all of us.

We’ve got a world with organisations like the UN out of date, crippled by vetoes.

We’ve got NATO a war mongering USA military Organisation, spreading fear.

We’ve got an international Court that has no credibility.

We’ve got verbal diarrhoea on tackling climate change.

We’ve got Putin and Donald Dump and Benjamin along with Kim Jong to name a few with nuclear war heads, not forgetting Ali.

We’ve got terrorists.

We’ve got ripoff tax regimes.

We’ve got politicians that can’t see past the next election.

We’ve got growing inequality.

We’ve got pollution in our seas in our air in our stomach.

We’ve got sex maniacs, mentally unstable youths.

We’ve got populations with smartphones that are destroying any critical thinking.

We’ve got religious beliefs to beat the ban.

We’ve got termites hills called cities.

We’ve got artificial intelligence collecting data for free turning us into digital citizens.

We’ve got voting systems out of date.

Just look at any systems we support to elected governments.

The UK is a prime example with First pass the voting system.

The whole political system was set up on the back of military might that established an empire that enriched its self through slavery.

A country that turned its back on the Europe Union..established not to foster just a single market but peace among nations.

Like most western countries its got political parties, supporting different entities, different ideologies, promoting different philosophy, all supposedly representing the majority of the voting electorate, making promises that are lucky to last to the next salary rise.

These parties form governments with heads of state.

Heads of departments are then appointed from within the party to run the country on the taxpayers money, which is collect by taxing everything from food to football till death to do you depart, with fines for nonpayment.

On top of this there are local councils elections, made up of the parties and independents to elect councils. There are 650 councils.

Government to this day remains without a written constitution and subject to Royal approval that owns half the country.

You could say the English are still surf to a non elected King/ Dictator.

The cost to tax payers over the working career of the average Mp is 90 thousand odd plus expenses against the average Joe soap salary of 45 thousand.

So 690 MP @ 90 thousand = 64 million odd , for mps that cannot be removed from office unless the party in office expels the individual.

Then there is the upper house of parliament the House of Lords 450 of them taking home on average twice the salary of a working man, ( With 33 of them inactive taking home a meats 500,000 in tax free expenses. )

Add a few state dinner @ 400,000 and you have the bill to the tax payer.

The elected government then spends around 1.6 billion running the country.

The public can get a petition presented to parliament proving it’s has 100,000. However they cannot with a million signatures get a Mp fired.

If you think that’s bad have a look at the Eurozone and its system .

One could say we’ve got it all to turn our planet into a tax paying black hole.

Not until we recognise fully the need to protect the environment, can we place a true value on humanity, even then with enormous insecurity and uncertainty driven by short term thinking and a growing population of the haves and have nots will we be able as humans change direction.

We all know that the world is changing and that with what ever kind of technology , immigration, climate change you want to name or blame.

All pointing to we are going to have to stop killing each other and learn to live together.

The earth provides us with life not money not AI not religion, not military might, and certainly not any philosophy that does not take into account our ancestors or actions.

Our systems to govern or to protect the environment are completely out of control.

Political polarisation due to AI is destroying our self governance and our democracy institutions.

All human comments appreciated. All like clicks and abuse chucked in the bin.
