The trials and tribulations within marriage, bearing of offspring, standards of living, fear, persecution, religious dogma and permitted freedom within law.
The vulnerability of the masses to be manipulated by a small
minority, not only governing their lives but also holding vast
amounts of the wealth within the economy.
It also depicts the pollution of air, land and sea upon our planet and localised environmental issues created by industrial by products etc.
The obscene and demoralising inner cities, the hopelessness, the jobless and breakdown of law and order stemming from lack of resources.
The gap between the super wealthy and the very poor is widening, the disproportionate levels of wealth within society will be its downfall in the long term.
Studying the potential of the brain involves the field of Neural Networks. Here, we model the interconnections of neurons, in an attempt to discover how brains are able to learn. There are two ways of doing this, we can be taught by an expert and build in the appropriate answers by repetition, or we can discover them ourselves. The latter requires self-organization, the ability to put two and two together and make five, to extract added value from the incoming data. This form of achievement drives our creativity, our ability to innovate.
But any achievement is a collective effort, and should be collectively rewarded. Take any 'high-achiever', place them alone on a desert island and they die - just like any Third World refugee. 'Their' so called achievement is merely a skin over the mountain of backup and data provided to them (mostly free) by the society around them. ALL members of society partake in every success of every individual. Perhaps we should withdraw that support from those unwilling or too greedy to acknowledge it ?
