Ok, crazy thought of the day.
We were talking this morning about Trey’s cousin and the fact that he was an engineer and made a shitload and then pretty much got tired of it and quit. He is working to be an electrician now.
Anyway, my question is: we have such great engineering minds and such amazing skill in making these computers here, this cell phone, these lights above me, shit, just about anything you could want (besides flying cars, but that is another story).
Do we have some good social engineers in the building? Some good environmental engineers? I am sure we do. What is the problem though? No money put towards this type of effort or no real recognition that we need them. We need them. I think in a lot of ways the environmental and social engineers probably would go hand in hand, but perhaps not.
Unfettered by industry and common worldly concerns, we need some people to study and talk to us about how we can work better together and work better within the limits of our little spinning ball of Earth here. We need this effort cause otherwise we are just bacteria in a Petri dish – growing too big for our own good and dying off – and our Petri dish will move on.
Don’t feel sorry for the Petri dish – she is doing fine thank you. Feel sorry for the bacteria that don’t recognize their own needs.
