if you just look on it - humanity has the potential to achieve such great things but there's always a few dicks here and there which just try to ruin everything
Jep, there will surely be! Because that, with what you as a person do agree with, will always be disagreed by people who believe the opposite. And a power struggle about who is right, get's born in no-time. In other words, you have to deal with dualism. While where growing up, we start learning dualistic thinking. I think first a LARGE group have to stand up, and make a start with making others aware of this dualistic reality we experience. I believe it is one of the main challanges that a person should learn to recognise in life. It will improve our way at looking things in such a more efficient way.
There is enough knowledge avaible to help humanity! But as long as we prefer to do nothing, then of course nothing is going te happen. People need trouble, HUGE trouble, before they even take a serious look on what your saying. Look at your own life, How many times do you need to make mistakes, before you know how it works? Or look at it, as if it is a depression that causes negative emotions, and if one get trough it. The pain will force him to reach higher heights where for example the exact opposite thing happends
Lucky enough, the venus project can be at least achieved and be tried to realise, if the group of people who like the plan would make lots of effort in find more and more support. Remember, the most people behave like sheeps. And with a good dog, you can direct the sheeps in certain direction, what will not be easy but if there are enough sheeps that follow you. Then more and more will join.
