Goals for Humanity

Saturday, November 18th, 2006

Sometimes the idea of hitting a target seems appropriate to those not taking aim.

By this one can think of the possibility that one will not hit a target without aiming for it, though literally a false statement, practically true. In terms of likelihoods, hitting the target is highly unlikely.

Substitute target for goal and one can begin to understand a simple but sometimes overlooked paradigm of movement, that movement forward should be dedicated to reaching a certain point.

All the its not the destination its the journey slogans aside it is easier to get somewhere specific when you know where you are going.

Though I highly recommend drifting, this earth, a place where we evolved from star dust or appeared spontaneously from the mind of an all powerful being with faked evidence to test our faith, is soon to become inhospitable to us, and most living things we value or are accustomed to being around and eating.

Soon is relative. But soon enough for humanity.

If humans decided to maintain this earth in a state that would facilitate our continued lives, with a quality of life as we desire, this would be a goal, and the odds of reaching this goal would no longer be random but focused. Ain’t gonna happen. Still.

Where are you going?

Me? Nowhere fast with nothing to say, but its ok. It’s ok.
