All reflections of a pretty weird state of affairs if I take a step back and try to look at things objectively. I guess achieving big strides in longevity for a wealthier few would just be an extension of the trend. Bill Gates had this to say: "It seems pretty egocentric while we still have malaria and TB for rich people to fund things so they can live longer. It would be nice to live longer though I admit" Not the a…
One of the top charities in GivingWell is to help stop malaria. You should donate. Nets go a long way and they're really cheap. I bought 20 nets last year. We don't need Bill Gates for that, right? http://www.givewell.org/charities/top-charities By doing really difficult and expensive medical research over decades, we will discover many things that help many of the 7 billion people, increasing to 9 billion, on the pl…

Yeah, I had heard a rumour that approximately 10 out of every 10 people end up dying...

#47Every time a Human Being is killed by violence, a terrible atrocity has occurred. Every murder is a failure by society. A human’s absolute freedom and personal independence has been stolen from them. The human victim has lost their inherent right to freedom, and to have a peaceful life. Their opportunity has been stolen, and their full potential will never be known. At times you will be asked to consider ideas that aren’t appealing. You are being asked to do this to help us come to some common conclusions. This will be one of those times.
Read this, and then close your eyes. Think about precious memories of the people you love the most. Think about the first time you saw your newborn child, or the memories of your wedding day. Think about your mother, and father. Feel the love in your heart for all of them. Now close your eyes and think about them being brutally murdered! I know you don’t want to; and you wouldn’t be asked if it wasn’t important. Close your eyes and watch the ones you love the most being viciously taken away. See the blood, and hear the screaming. If you didn’t cry; you didn’t do it well enough. Close your eyes, and do it again. Ok, enough of that. I’m very sorry, but we must all understand, every time murder happens; those painful feelings you just imagined, become very real to someone. Nearly everyone has someone that loves them. Every time murder occurs; pain and suffering follows. We must make a decision as a society that no human violence is acceptable. None of us can be completely free If we allow violence. If you live under the fear of being a victim of violence you can never be truly free.
Are we saying we are going to end all violence? Of course not; what we are going to do is solve the problems causing most of the world’s violence. Afterward, violent occurrences would become isolated incidents, not organized terror. Are we in agreement so far? Not really, keep reading things are going to get better. Why is it, if a government official or a famous person dies it important news, but if a bum dies in the street no one seem to even notice. Someone well known suddenly dies, the whole world takes notice. If the well-known person was held in high regard, their sudden death will be called a tragedy. If they happen to be a person that is considered to be powerful, or incredibly wealthy; the entire world may mourn for them.XXXXXXXXXXXXZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ What we must understand is, the Dead Bum lying in the street that no one cares enough to notice of, is the greater tragedy. The powerful leader, or the, famous person must have achieved much in life or they wouldn’t have become rich, and powerful. The bum on the other hand, was a wasted life. No one will ever know what this person’s full potential was. Society has failed once again. These are new ideas for society, and I realize it is hard to mentally digest them all at once. I hope I have at least gotten your attention. I told you things were about to get better. Can you imagine living on a city in space? If humanity is to survive, that is exactly the direction we must work toward. We will discuss this later, but for now; do you realize we are over populating our planet? At the same time we allow the exploitation of our natural resources. Scientific facts prove that modern society will completely deplete our planet of its fossil fuels. Fossil Fuel is currently the only energy source we have to power the planet. We must find other energy sources to fuel the future or live in darkness again. Science has also proven that certain life ending geological events have occurred, and will occur again. These events include several known eruptions of super volcanoes. Meteorological events have occurred on our planet also, giant meteors that have struck the earth’s surface causing massive destruction . This is not speculation, it is undisputed fact. These cataclysmic events have occurred before in history, and they will happen again in the future. The question is, can humanity survive such a catastrophic event? Life on our planet will eventually end. That is a fact. Exactly how long it is until that happens isn’t known. We can’t control volcanos or a meteor, what we can do, is improve our quality of life until the end happens. If we all decide to work together in peace, there is no known limits to human ingenuity. If we can simply put our differences aside, and agree to disagree in peace; there are no limits on what humanity will accomplish. If not, we will all kill each other. I told you things were going to start getting better. Modern society will be terribly affected, or will completely end by a catastrophic event. Either way you look at it, currently our society is doomed to eventual death and destruction unless we change our behavior. We must create a new economic and government system that can’t ever fail. This new social system will be called “Equalism”.
Here is our next matter to consider. A child’s geographic location at birth is the most important factor in their lives. If a child is lucky, they will be born into a wealthy family in an industrialized area. This child will grow up with luxuries most of the world will never know. Other children are born into war-torn areas, or areas of famine. There are tens of millions of children that will never have the opportunity to reach their full potential. These children will grow up, and live in the same horrid living conditions as their ancestors. Why? Think about this. If your own child was switched at birth with a royal prince, and no one knew but you; your child would grow up and be a Royal Prince. As a Royal Prince your child would be reared with great expectations for their future. There would be no cost spared in your young princess’s education. They would experience the best life has to offer. The point here is; any person that is treated like royalty from birth will grow to act like royalty. Doesn’t your child deserve to grow up in a society that expects royal behavior from everyone? Why should luck be the determining factor in how successful a person will become? Try to imagine a society in which everyone gets to explore their full potential. Seriously, Think about it. Why can’t we have this type of society?

#50You might look at Peter Thiel's presentations on radical philanthropy or venture philanthropy for a similar view on how philanthropy at the institutional level might be changed. He's been arguing for years that the balance of risk and how money is put to use in the philanthropic world is well out of line with the goal of achieving meaningful results, changing the world rather than just propping up present situations,…
