You just said it in the last paragraph How will we take care of the poor and the weak mosngat us . I firmly believe in it I don't know what gave human beings rights to destroy everything else weaker human beings, other species, the planet for our selfish dreams, to satisfy our ego. We are not the chosen ones this planet belongs to everyone, we seemed to have forgotten that. We need visionaries who will make these thoughts a way of life, a doable task and not an Utopian theory. We need visionaries who will help those at the bottom of the pyramid create wealth to better their lives, and at the same time protect and conserve the amazing world that we inherited.And I'm not saying we have to move away from technology, we will need technology to maximize the efforts. But what we should focus on is the end goal, and not technology itself.
