".. tv is a good invention"
This is the core point of many things in this world that have shocked me to the.. well, core.
So many STRUCTURES and systems-in-place are very good, even well-engineered, well-thought-out and excellent. But what people DO with those systems is absolutely crazy or absolute garbage.
We once discussed with a friend (who has since travelled to the astral side), what would it take to make this world good and fix the problems.
After some discussion, I realized that my friend's point was the correct one. This world itself wouldn't be so bad - there are many really good things about it, when it comes to technology and all kinds of structures and inventions - but it's the PEOPLE that suck.
(Of course there being a corporate-military-industrial-complex with a population-controlling and brainwashing-agenda isn't helping)
I realized based on that discussion, that almost ANY ideology or 'social-political system' would work with GOOD people, and almost ANY such system will always eventually fail with BAD people. Communism would work with good people, because no one would LET anyone starve, or let the government get so much power and control over everyone (the people in the government would be GOOD people, remember?).
Capitalism, Socialism, some mixture of these - or some new, more Utopian system - anything and everything would work with good people, and all of these would eventually become a horror story with bad people, because the power-hungry and greedy, evil and manipulative monsters would always rise positions of power and start controlling the masses for more power and wealth until people live in dystopia.
I pasted the rest here, because it's too exhausting to try to combat the word limit here (which IMDb never had):
