Ode to a town...walking the streets of Manhattan gives me a certain type of energy. Not one which gives to the future world of potential...as the continual picture strewn about the city is of a certain desolate nature. The subway stations and their dirty walls and ceilings, the homeless persons spread throughout the town, the dejected mannerisms of the late night subway rides. All of these things are painful reminders of the inefficiency of the system we currently reside under. A system which makes use of 100% of its potential is a truer smarter system. A country or city or unit managed so much smarter can truly take advantage of its parts to create something beautiful.
Now supposedly capitalism would do this. Well, supposedly socialism also leads to an equal distribution of goods and overall societal benefit…not to say that either concept is wrong. I believe they are the same. An as of yet undeveloped economic system lies in the wait. This system will evolve out of a technological coming. It will come from the next level of our world’s growth, hopefully we make it there.
Manhattan is a beginning example of the potential coming. Though there are the faults above, there is so much that is grown and becoming of the mass mental movement. Though right now too much is lost in the in-between world, the energy of system rolls off. And even though so much around it is so very unclear, it is a potential picture of the edges of the coming.
Sometimes such efficiencies exist within the systems that there is no waste and only absorption and creation. One day our race will find that point, and the application of us will be perfect, within perfect though there are many states, and even looming above that perfect is always the ripple of chaos, but between the waves lies a path so clear.
Manhattan is a small image, a potential picture of a future so bright that concepts of now will be loved as earnest tools of grace and potential. It will all come together with a scale of global output and efficiency of such grand heights, and we will move forward.
…so yeah…
And this was supposed to be an ever so slight ode to Manhattan…turned out to be the ever hopeful view of mankind’s potential. We will know in time many more answers.
