Maybe I read too many space operas as a kid. I dream of a Human race, that unites under the threat of its extinction. We build a world based on mutualism, and we stride out in the stars together to bring life to our galaxy. not led, not followed, we are a network of connected beings working in concert. we find a balance between our individual needs, and our collective priorities.

I don't feel that this is something that will happen in my lifetime, but it is the core of my passion in what I seek to do with my life. I sit here now at an impasse, struggling to understand where the road ahead travels. I am increasingly emboldened in my belief by the world I see, with so much potential, yet so little willingness to utilize it. So many people keeps their heads bent downwards to the earth, not seeing the vastness of opportunities that await us once we shed our past structures of belief. who looks to the stars and sees our light shining there one day?

I barely even know where to continue writing this post, as I fail to see where it will lead. every encounter I have with other people only further suggests that I am alone in my belief. how do I cope with that? how do I rationalize a life dedicated to ensuring a species that relishes its own end? I do not presume to be right, but at this point I cannot feel that I am wrong. our increasing complexity depends on our expansion, but to expand we must have unity through our one common feature; humanity. I am hopeful, but I do not see the way.

this is how I feel right now, thank you for reading.
