Let's say you are the first... Or last 10 people on Earth.
What do you do?
Find food and water, find shelter, try to repopulate the Earth, then maybe start a little bit if farming or domestication if animals... Find clothes...
Set up a banking system, sell each other luxury bags, lend to each other to buy homes and luxury boats, create a Government, tax each other...
Come on... That's rubbish right.
With 10 people... Just relax and chill. Find some way to have sustainable food sources and clean water and enjoy life right?
What if there was 100 people. Well if everyone can work as a team, that's great, else we'll just have to break up and go to other areas and set up shop.
But... We have around 4 billion people on Earth now... So... Somehow it's necessary to set up all these additional industries.
I really don't know... And I don't get it.
Life is simple. There's enough food, water, clothes, shelter for everyone on Earth. Yet... Somehow, there are hungry people, homeless people. Houses are left empty or abandoned. Food is wasted and thrown away.
Somehow the current Government and capitalistic society has been built in a way that is selfish and individualistic.
Maybe last time there was some kampung spirit. But now, when was the last time you went out or had dinner with your neighbours?
As countries get more prosperous, the people grow colder to each other.
Power and resources are all concentrated within a very few number of people.
So sometimes, I just sit around thinking... If everyone could just chill... Actually wouldn't everyone be better off?
