The Paranoia Theory

     
     During these past decades with all the global crisis going on hasn't anybody thought of what's going to happen? Overpopulation,lack of natural resources,less food,less drinking water,global warming ,economy going to pieces maybe and so on.
     Some guy, somewhere at some table , while drinking his coffee with no sugar and just a drop of milk, is thinking:
   "Hmmm , what the hell are we going to do about this?"
     And it's enough for one thought to put some wheels into motion in order to create something.
     "Do we have studies about this?" he asked ."We need more studies, we have to know what to do.We can't just sit here and drink coffee while the world goes to hell.How much resources do we have?...That's not enough,check who has some and let's start a war, it's for the good of the country.We need to preserve our way of life."
     Globalization,it has to be done one way or the other, but usually it's done in the way of the strongest party.

"Size doesn't matter" Theory

        
        Large populations confined in small habitats tend to get smaller individuals in future generations.Will the same thing happen to humans?I predict that if no natural or man-made disaster occurs in the next 200 years,and of course if natural resources including fresh water don't run out,the globe will be so populated that we will be forced to shrink in order to make room for ourselves.
     Ridiculous? I beg to differ.

The Repetition Theory

    
      Scientists say that soon we'll have no more original ideas.I say we are already passed that point.We have over 10,000 years of history and yet only less than 5,000 years are "recorded history".How do we know for sure that something we think of now,or we discover now,wasn't already discovered 7,351 years ago?
        We take old things and give them new meanings and that's about it.The only reason we consider inventing new things is because we easily forget the past.And copyright is a major problem nowadays.Not like we intentionally do it but it happens,and we are unaware of it.
       I'm almost certain that I am copying someone's ideas and posting them into my blog.I know it's like digging my own hole with that phrase but since I can't know for sure if I am the first to think like this (and I am probably not),it's a thought that I'm sticking with.
       When it comes to originality I wish I was born 1000 years ago.When it comes to knowledge I wish I was born 1000 years from now.When it comes to society and civilization I wish I was born 1000 light years away.

The Utopian Theory

     

       I've been meaning to write this for a while now,about Plato's Republic,about how we can create a truly modern society,about the future that mankind needs to go for.And as I'm thinking about this my mind wonders off (drifting away towards reality,one hell of a daydreamer I am) and I'm looking at my keyboard I realize that my PC is 5 years old,and there's this new MMO coming out this fall and I definitely need to buy a new PC.Just one problem: I lack the money.

The "ghost rider" Theory

      Finally Apocalypse is happening,clearly the death horseman is cruising trough Cairo boulevards.All religious persons raise your hands wohooo.Unless you don't have a "death horseman" in your Apocalypse section of the book.In that case you'll just have to wait for the next breaking news from CNN.
      Come on people at least try to act a little skeptical about this;don't be skeptical but at least act a bit.We're in the 21st century,the cybernetic age,we have evolved in the past decade more than we did in half a century.
      Well either way I'm glad people pay more interest in a "ghost" than in all the real and alive persons struggling in the land of the pharaohs; we have a distorted perception of our world because of the media influence,we see and hear only the information we are given.I wonder what the revolutionaries of Cairo think about that horseman,probably nothing ,probably they are too busy with a revolution.
