What can we do to fight for a better world?

[schwarzkopf]

Two things:

Be informed.
Be rational.

[Revik]

The first thing you need to do is get off your dead ass and start doing something. Get networked and start running for office.

Or you can become an international internet sensation and cash in all your fame for your message. That could work too. Actually scratch that won't work. Just get rich. That will make your world a whole lot better.

[Forgettable]

I think we obviously need more cheerleaders.

[Docturphil]

A few conveniences don't make for a better world...

Yes, actually they do make for a better world. And we're talking about more than just convenience. The internet is literally capable of saving lives.

Online dating is a joke, get out and get a life, learn to actually socialize.

I met my wife in real life. I personally never found online dating useful, but some people do. Online dating is not a joke and it doesn't necessarily mean people are incapable of socializing. Just because it's different than what you're used to doesn't mean it's a bad thing.

I get it, you live on the net, its all you know. If you'd have experienced a real life before all of this you would understand my point. Its nice to get outside and go down to the bank and talk to real people. Its nice to have to pack up a console and go sleepover at a buddys place for gaming. Its nice to occupy yourself with physical tangible things because you don't have the internet to sit in front of and entertain you.

You're talking to me like I wasn't alive before the internet. I was. Granted I was pretty young, but still. It's not like I live in the internet or I'm incapable of socializing. It's not like I don't enjoy a walk outside or a nice bike ride.

Why would you need an instructional video? Take some initiative and learn for yourself.

That's exactly what watching an instructional video is. Learning for yourself. Why the fuck should I have to spend hours trying to find someone who knows something about my refrigerator so I can figure out how to remove the drip tray to clean it off? No thanks. I'll look that shit up on the internet. Your alternative of finding someone who knows how to do it is a complete fucking waste of time and provides no benefit whatsoever compared to just quickly doing a youtube video search.

[Stormspark]

There's nothing you can do. The vast majority of people don't care. Short of some sort of world wide event that causes people to "wake up", it's just going to get worse until we just bomb ourselves out of existence or blow the planet up. I give humanity 50 years max before it's all over. That may be a high estimate. Things are just going to keep getting worse from this point forward, get used to it.

[Deleted]

We're still making progress in the world, it's not quite so dire as the internet makes it seem.

Yep, it was alot more dire 100+ years ago. Disease was a nightmare. Ugh we have it so good really.

[Theodarzna]

I am tired of all the hate, fear, stupidity, and meaness! Humans are suffering and we are calling each other "cucks". The private prison industry is preying on impoverished minority communities. We must build more schools! Not prisons! We must fight gang culture as well as all anti intellectualism! I find it an affront to Western civilization that our most vulnerable citizens can't access clean water.

Have we stopped dreaming? Have we stopped caring about a better future? How can idealists and futurists regain the initiative from the demagogues.

You can do nothing.

[Fencers]

Have to get rid of superstition, money and labor.

[Adam Jensen]

Launch the nukes.

Let whoever (or whatever) survives figure it out.

[Wikiy]

all our fancy technology, and the world's still in a constant state of conflict like it has been since the dawn of man. dress us up how you like, we're still savages in the end willing to kill over ideology, greed, or power.

Stop being silly. Europe, for example, has had 70 years of peace. Billions of people who had nothing to do with killing.

And actually, stop being insulting. I, myself, am not a killer, or an overly greedy person, nor any wish for power. Your idea that I should die in a nuclear exchange is incredibly offensive.

It is a massive waste of everyone's time, if they didn't have the internet to come sit on and fight their armchair battles, they could actually do something useful in the real world, or could sit at home and watch tv and not bother anyone else.

It is not a massive waste of my time. It has been incredibly educational and helpful in my studies and I am extremely grateful that physicists came up with this thing.

FYI, armchair battles don't even make up 1% of internet content. Do you live on MMO Champion and think that's what the internet is?

[StayTuned]

Nothing.

I strongly believe that ultimately we are 100% destined to be doomed.

We are greedy, destructive and by large egocentric beings. We love death and destruction too much, we evolved to be the rulers of this world not through peaceful actions. We will eventually destroy ourselves, and it's not going to take that much longer either.

Until then, enjoy your stay here and don't be a dick to other people.

[Wikiy]

Why would you need an instructional video? Take some initiative and learn for yourself. Go around, ask someone who knows to physically show you. Yeah, exhausting right? way easier from a chair. That is the downfall of our society, to much convenience, too much time on peoples hands to worry about others business. No meaning in your own life, must get involved

Jesus, I'm not going to learn by myself things like, for example, the evolution of the universe. Nor am I going to easily find a cosmologist in my town who'll tell me just like that.

You people really are crazy.

[Neyze]

Everybody wants to change the world, nobody wants to change themselves. Start small. Love your family, love your neighbors, and most importantly, love your enemies.

Perhaps try some meditation. All the answers you seek are within.

Stop posting on forums and take action.

Yep, that's what I've been staying. I don't have a personal stake in what happens here, so I'm just basically enjoying the ride while it lasts.

You list yourself as being from Croatia which was in a 4 year long war for independence 1991-1995, and this is just 1 of ~30 armed conflicts in Europe since the 90's.
Not really a continent at peace if you ask me.

[Zandalarian Paladin]

Hide and write.

It's so awesome to just disconnect from the insanity out there once in a while.

[NED funded]

We are in times of stagnation, the best solution is to be entrepreneurial and start innovating or making new businesses.

[Independent voter]

The world is getting better all the time. Just think of all those biblical diseases cured with antibiotics, cholera typhoid, plague, etc. Slavery is almost abolished, We haven't had a real war since 1945.

[May90]

I don't know, I am pretty happy with my life, and I'm excited by how rapidly science and technology are developing. Toxic edgelords on the Internet hardly affect anything; in our world this is the kind of thing happening:
