Well...yeah, it is part of the human psyche to believe a huge change is coming soon...but in this case, it appears to be backed with some substantial developments.

Knowledge...our store of it has been growing and accellerating exponentially over the last 200 years...and doesn't appear to be slowing. It probably wont, and this is going to be a critical point in the world culture over the next, say, 50 years. I fully expect (if we last that long) to see a world that is nearly unrecognizable by the time i'm ready to die.

Trade...i have a hypothesis that i've been playing with for the last few months...That all conflicts in human history can be charecterized as a struggle between black and white market economies. Given this hypothesis, i see the current world situation polarizing into two distinct camps...those who favor legalization and regulation, thereby converting their portion of the black market into white, and those who do not. The nations and peoples who do not favor legalization are slowly but surely cutting off outlets of pressure for the black market, and the few that remain are becoming dangerously squeezed...it's just a matter of time until the situation explodes, and it will probably be violent in nature when it does. I have no evidence of this as of yet, but i'm searching. Hell, last numbers i saw put world exports several billion (trillion?) dollars more than world imports. THis itself is an indication of either shoddy record keeping, or the black market. exact figures and economic histories are hard to come by, but i'm looking, and trying to begin relations with embassies that may be able to help me find the information i require. If i finish this anytime soon (and i'm honestly looking at a timetable measured in years) it may be predictive...but i'm rambleing.

Stay Frosty.

no it isnt. try again with some facts this time.




I meant sanations and staff cuts are made in a lot of companies, and a lot of plants are closed. More work is being done by less people, while companies impose production goals for their employees that they know are unrealistic, just to boost up production. This I know from working at a Nike distribution center.

It is interesting to note; in the histroy of mankind there have been only a few who have, by there own intellect and discovery changed the nature of life for everyone. Some feel there may be as many as three of these individuals alive today--simply as a matter of genetic chance.





I have to respectfully disagree with this take on human potential. There have been numerous people throughout history who have made major changes - Edison, Einstein, Ben Franklin, Newton, MLK Jr., Gandhi are just the first few that come to mind.

And there's a lot more than 3 people alive today with that kind of ability, the trick is to recognize & cultivate their talent before the world beats it out of 'em.

Hello. I'm glad you liked my idea trendal:) I do think that something big is happening. In the original post, "All reality falls..." or something like that we were talking about synchronicitiesn and how everyone is experiencing more of these lately. And if this has any relations to 2012. I'm still curious myself, but I am happy to see that the poll results are so high.

Size is relative. Something appears big when next to something small.

Well maybe the Earth will say "i can't take anymore, you're overpopulated." Fresh water is depleted, the Earth tilts and we have another ice age. Then the cockroach people take over.

or maybe grass will become legal?

or maybe that "one guy" that screws it up for everyone will finally be wiped from the gene pool.

or...Phil Lesh becomes President.

"I think people have always thought this, i think it's part of being human too think it's just round the corner."

agreed. for the most part, all changes in life seem to be gradual. and like namaste pointed out, something is only big when compared to something small...comparing the conciousness* of today to what it could be far ahead in the future will show significant difference.

*my theory...changes in counciousness is our next step in evolution. i mean that in the most vague way possible because the next step is never like the one behind us. example: the 2D reality has zero comprehension of the 3D reality. make sense?

yes, "something" will happen.

humanity has gone from a stagnant pond of indifference to a festering ocean of shit.

humans are violating the earth and mother nature will only put up with it for so long before unleashing her fury and restoring balance (if our own technology doesn't destroy us first).
