The most uncertain experiences teaches the best lesson in life too :)

I perfectly feel your school of thought and the future urge concerning the times to come when it come to AI  and many more. 

Someone  wrote a post on **Futureshock** on Steemit some days ago,  I can't remember  the username,  but trust me,  it explains a lot about what you've written. Truly,  human beings are really good. 

The idea of Elon puffing some smoke  doesn't move me a bit,  he has the right to do anything  he wants,  am also a scientist,  so I've done a laboratory  distillation  of the news.  He's  my type of guy any time any day.

Thank you for this! I will definitely watch the interview. I am fascinated by the current times, even though for me it's mostly a feeling, since I don't really watch the news and only skim the headlines, just to protect my energy and not have my *fragile optimism blackened by fear*. 

Humanity is at a fork in the road. It's so palpable! Many people are feeling it.

I interviewed this amazing lady a couple of weeks ago, in case you're up for another 1.5 hours watching two people talk about the future :D - not from a scientific but a from a consciousness point of view. 

I actually wanted to talk with her mainly about the future of money and cryptocurrencies (she was 'told' about 'digital money' already in the early 80's...) but of course we ended up talking about a lot more than just money, since everything is related to the current (money) system we live in. Politics, decentralisation, education, food, etc. 

She has seen the future (whether you believe that or not doesn't make the interview less interesting) and what she has to say about it was very inspiring to me. She also says, that right now - 2018/2019 - is where the transformation and "hard times" are at their peak. By 2025 we will live in a different world. I believe that. And I'm optimistic that it's a better one!

The blockchain technology will be given at the time, when the big powers accept it and have a control over it, the same happened with the start of the car vs. big railway companies, alternative energy vs fossil fuels, etc. I remember watching a documentary related to the use of solar panels and taxes for using solar panels, why? because the electric company was reducing their profits.

Such a blast to be creating a scary/better "imaginary" world with you to help understand where we're heading in the "real" world, brother!

Well done, very nice post, I invite you to see my blog and support me.

A good read, thank you Eric :D

Wounder ful article  to share this on steemit,thnks frnd .

Wonderful post @ericvancewalton and I really do believe we are living in very special times, so much change around and really, when we look at the past we can see just how many things have changed for the better!
A truer statement about what's happening in the cryptos you could not have made:
>It’s as if the old world senses its own demise and keeps trying to pull us back into its suffering, systemic corruption, and greed.

We will not allow that, so just keep on doing what you do best and know the future is smiling and welcoming you and I to a better tomorrow.
I do believe in the good of people but greed is a dangerous thing that many cling to!
We need more and more people meditating; there are groups of people practicing TM who go out in the world to trouble spots and meditate, we need more of that!
Going to sit back and listen to that Elon Musk interview as well as hear what Penny Kelly has to say!
Thank you for this Eric :)

You are so right it is up to us as individuals to make this a better 
world. I truly believe we can do it. One positive thought and action 
at a time. Good post my friend.

Beautiful thinking by Elon. My english is not good . But I translate your article and enjoy it . Hopefully the world is on the hopes and should not give up hope.

Very well said, @ericvancewalton. Indeed we have 3 most important things to do: 

1. To get what we created right 
2. To clean up the mess we made 
3. To hope and have confidence that the future will we better. We HAVE to make the future better for the ones after us. 

After all, we are what we think and we do us! 😀

I understand what you're saying and I perfectly agree with you, @ericvancewalton! Too much storm to bear with a simple umbrella. Reality in general does not look good, especially because many of the strongest countries have few intelligent presidents and very vicerals. I rescue one of the things you say about believing in people, until they give no reason to distrust. I think that's what any kind of relationship is based on! The human being is needed, just as we need this planet. So we must take care of each other, support each other, and make this planet the best place to live. It was good to read you!

Good points made here, thanks, I often thought with all our dystopian movies and books, are more than a warning but a way we as humanity digging are own graves, be careful that our more dystopian science fiction are not self fulfilling prophecies and start creating some better future scenarios in fiction for balance.

Trying to be optimistic that the positive changes we make today will protect our planets future.

<blockquote>Humanity is inherently good but the time is now for optimists to be diligent and to take action in shaping a new future. Future generations will thank us for it.</blockquote>
Elon's thinking is very good , good article dear .

The storm preceeds the rainbow. I enjoyed your post.

Well said,

I also loved the interview and watched the entire thing. Think its one of the most interesting I have ever seen. 

While I'm still not sure if I trust in Elon I do agree with almost everything he said and feel its a great piece which I highly recommend. Regardless of Elon the messages are clear and profound. 

Thanks for sharing!

A lot of people are feeling it.  I think back to years ago, all the thinking and trying to wake people up. So now I am letting others carry the torch.  I stay awake but out of it. 

Glad to see you are posting and getting people to wake up.  Concentrate on the positive you know we will prevail.

I really like thinking about the one doctor in the NaziJewish prison surviving.  He wrote a book.  Says he focused on helping the others. 

Really that is all we can do and meditation will help us stay safe. 

You know all this lol.. just commenting.. :) 
The swing of the pendulum often happens after a holiday of fun.

I hear you about "negativity bias". But when it occurs to  me or happens to me what I do is think about the Blessing that I do actually have. My own car, house, my beautiful family, my health etc..etc..


I believe there is well over half the World who have no such thing.

Anyway, thanks for your post which I find refreshing and insightful @ericvancewalton
