Overflow (or how to invent flying capes)

Every now and then, I feel my brain boiling to its overflow.


















We are over 7 billions on the Earth.

We have met some thousands of them, have talked with some hundreds of them and are close to few of them.


Most people I know, don't starve. Most people I know, even the Mercedes owners, claim to struggle to live satisfactory -for them- lives. Often failing. We've seen documentaries of really tragic living conditions, humane-less acts. People killing hundreds of people (can you imagine?). In my daily life I see people using people. I see arrogance and vanity. Pain and fear. I also see and experience great amounts of empathy, courtesy, joy, brightness, playfulness, tenderness, gut, inspiration, and (that word) love.




So, what's happening here?

I know, you know, millions of people have tried lay this out.
Yet, obviously, we ain't done.

Great videos are great, inspiring text is inspiring, motivating speeches are motivating, 'capital-T' Teachers are my heroes and love wins in the end, and people live happily ever after.

Yeh, sure, ever after we finish with the humanness issue.

Science offers us the knowledge and technology the media 
to humanize the humanity once and for good.

Everything is here. Available. All we need is to efficiently spread it. It's a lot of work, but there's nothing better to do. Enabling seven billion people to think and act good is better than inhabiting Mars, curing cancer, re-frosting the poles and inventing flying capes & teleporting. In fact, it's the only way to also progress to the above.
