Its a beautiful time to be alive and educated Hmmmm.
Also, evidently, to be ignorant, entitled, angry, belligerent, thuggish, whining and barbaric...
Africa lives!

...in which we fight wars over dwindling natural resources
Really? Which war was over what resources?
Seems to me most wars have been about power, ideology and/or, perhaps, land. Resources were just part of the picture, and generally a factor in who won or lost, not an objective in itself.

“You have seen the advances in our computers: how they keep getting faster and smaller.”
Just this morning I read that SanDisk has a new SD card with 500GB of memory. That’s less than a square inch, dimensionally. However, the price tag comes out to something like $1.20 per gigabyte.

It’s a beautiful world we live in,
A sweet, romantic place.
Beautiful people everywhere,
The way they show they care makes me want to say,
It’s a beautiful world,
It’s a beautiful world,
It’s a beautiful world!
For you,
For you
For you,
But not for me!

That was always the one beef I had with Star Trek in all its incarnations: the Socialist Utopia of that future.
This Leftist is misinformed, as usual. According to ST canon and all the writings done, the key element that changed the future was not computer technology - it was the distribution of food. Once global food availability was achieved and world hunger solved, all other geopolitical issues fell by the wayside.

Needless to say, I was disappointed. I grew up into a world filled with hunger, poverty, and diseasein which we fight wars over dwindling natural resources. It is a world of pessimism and sorrow, in which people obsess over maximizing their share of the pie. I think I see the problem right there. Many natural resources are renewable (food, for instance)--it only takes skill (and effort) to maximize those.
Those squabbling over 'their share of the pie' are likely not working to increase the size of the pie so all can have plenty.
That's back to the Liberal idea that if one has more another necessarily has to have less. Make the 'pie' bigger and there is more than enough to go around.

We need people who care about enriching humanity rather than just themselves.
Which logically would be accomplished by providing that humanity with the template for living like Americans (with rule of law, property rights and their acknowledged inherent rights as granted by God) and hoping they either accept and embrace it, or get left in the dust without another thought.
Outside of the realm of those who would enrich humanity by that means, the vast majority of humans who claim to want to "want to enrich humanity rather than themselves" are hucksters angling for power and control over those humans.

That is what it is going to be about: constant learning and reinvention. That's for sure - very little of what I do today was learned in school.

This guy is part of the forced march to everything the Depression Era generation warned us about.

once man's education, is another man's indoctrination, is another man's propaganda, is another man's blind dogma
sad but true...
To be educated on the mechanisms of thinking, via deductive reasoning and intellectually honest reflection and inquiry
Is different then being educated as what to think and regurgitated it at Pavlovian command....
I think our new information age as a lot more of the latter education than the former type education...
It in part a a byproduct of the sheer quantity of data we must absorbent daily in the new information age... and some malevolent intent by who distributes the data to manipulate your thinking

“Do as I say, not as I do”, yep, people who used to hide money in their mattresses said to beware of people who said things like that.
