I know we have some very imaginative people, so let's pretend we are "GOD". We see how much of an economic crisis we are in, how politics is making people fight from all sides, so many religions and they are all fighting against each other, in fact, every difference can be a breaking point for division. So it is up to YOU! Create a world that is functional, realistic and economically sound.
It can be as short or long as you want, but I think it would be a good place to come up with some ideas and possibly create a reality that even in our own lives, can make a difference.
I could probably come up with several comments to this post.
My first comment, If there is a God, this is the way he wants it.
If he is the God of the bible this is the way he wants it. He is having a pissing contest with his buddy the debil, we are his pawns. Bush is his king, the us Army is his knight. The catholic church is his bishop. New York is his castle.
And Jehobers having a hell of a time.
Comment two, if you want to play this game in real time, become a Morman, when you get your magic underware,. you will be on the way to getting your own planet to rule over.
Comment 3, the people who created this world, the international corporations have created a world that is economically sound for them. We are the pawns, the consumers. As long as we keep consuming their goods their world is economically sound. And when Amerika cant afford the goods their will be new markets to buy electronics and toys. If the markets get too saturated, have a war. Then you can make lots of money rebuilding the war torn area. But dont nuke it, because it wont be useable anytime soon.
Comment 4, marry rich, marry someone who has money, be a gold digger.
Comment 5, join a commune or monistary, secular or religious order. Either way you will probaly have to give up much of your free will and individuality.
Comment 6. If you were God and you wanted a world that is more functional and economically sound than this one, you would have to take away more free will. If you were a god you could make robots, If you were a smart god the robots would do whatever you programed, wanted them to do.
Comment 7. What the God of the bible did in the old testament was he had his people kill off everyone that was different and that didnt follow his program. Then they conquered the land flowing with milk and honey and things were manageable as long as the people followed his rules and kept the foreigners out. But that damn free will keeps becoming an issue. I guess you could go back to number 6 to tweak number 7.
The best thing each person can do to have a world that is functional and economically sound, is to assess their own personal situation, where they are in life. read, use the internet, gather information and make the best decisions you can to achieve this goal. Some will succeed and some will fail.
Like my father always told me, that's life.
Afterthought. I think they have computer games called Sims, where you can do something like this on your computer. And their are some people that think we, us peobles, are in someone elses computer being manipulated.
