The fast-paced, consumerist lifestyle of Industrial Society is causing exponential rise in psychological problems besides destroying the environment. All issues are interlinked. Our Minds cannot be peaceful when attention-spans are down to nanoseconds, microseconds and milliseconds. Our Minds cannot be peaceful if we destroy Nature.

Industrial Society Destroys Mind and Environment.

Subject : In a fast society slow emotions become extinct.
Subject : A thinking mind cannot feel.
Subject : Scientific/ Industrial/ Financial thinking destroys the planet.
Subject : Environment can never be saved as long as cities exist.

Emotion is what we experience during gaps in our thinking.

If there are no gaps there is no emotion.

Today people are thinking all the time and are mistaking thought (words/ language) for emotion.

When society switches-over from physical work (agriculture) to mental work (scientific/ industrial/ financial/ fast visuals/ fast words ) the speed of thinking keeps on accelerating and the gaps between thinking go on decreasing.

There comes a time when there are almost no gaps.

People become incapable of experiencing/ tolerating gaps.

Emotion ends.

Man becomes machine.

A society that speeds up mentally experiences every mental slowing-down as Depression / Anxiety.

A ( travelling )society that speeds up physically experiences every physical slowing-down as Depression / Anxiety.

A society that entertains itself daily experiences every non-entertaining moment as Depression / Anxiety.

FAST VISUALS /WORDS MAKE SLOW EMOTIONS EXTINCT.

SCIENTIFIC /INDUSTRIAL /FINANCIAL THINKING DESTROYS EMOTIONAL CIRCUITS.

A FAST (LARGE) SOCIETY CANNOT FEEL PAIN / REMORSE / EMPATHY.

A FAST (LARGE) SOCIETY WILL ALWAYS BE CRUEL TO ANIMALS/ TREES/ AIR/ WATER/ LAND AND TO ITSELF.

The problem is one of seeing what is happening but not fingering the cause. High CO2 levels would make a hotter and wetter world. However what will happen is a hotter dryer world. Is the problem just CO2 ? NO, underlying all this is a micro-layer of petroleum oil that has covered the surface of the world's seas. This oil-layer inhibits water evaporation, so low level clouds are diminished and rain becomes an extinct species. Consequently the world will dry out, faster and more completely than anyone would have thought. From then on, what happens is up to the maturity of governments. Hi

A very interesting fact came up. The countries globally seem to be finding a new enemy all the time. This is causing a war almost once a decade with cold war the rest of the time. My question is: Are civilization right from primitive ages, always looked at external threat to feel secured? If suddenly they find none, there is invariably a civil war or something to that effect? Can you please shed some light on this and respond to my mail id? We were discussing the world after cold world war. A very interesting fact came up.
