What is humanities worst problem at the moment?

Debate Information

What is the most urgent problem that needs to be attended to in the world? What is something humanity seriously needs to fix, solve or improve? This is a very casual debate, and people will have different opinions on this topic. I'm also expecting quite a wide variety of unique answers, and I am excited to hear what your responses are. Some examples include: global warming, disease, asteroids, overpopulation, greed, religious differences, laziness and war. My short list definitely doesn't even begin to cover all the possibilities. Happy debating!

    Humanities worst problem at the moment is Climate achange due to the future impact it could make on many things and people.

  • Hello, @joecavalry ;
    Could you elaborate a little bit? Climate change is a good response, but what is your reasoning? Why do you think that is our number 1 worst problem? What are the exact effects it may have in the future? Is there a way we can solve these problems?

  • In general, violence is humanity's greatest problem. War is in our nature. One obvious example of large a violent situation is North Korea's potential nukes. It's not unreasonable to imagine a World War 3 happening. How to solve violence? Not sure. Peace treaties have been made, but they only last until conflict becomes so great that they send troops to do war.

    The largest problem in our society is our degradation as human beings. It's the scariest part about it is that it seems to be getting more true by the day. The truth is that we are going to drift further and further from our core points until we are all nothing but robots or the people on Wall-E. There is hardly any spirit left in us and we are all just grey blobs. An example of this is in our very noses. In schools if your different from all the other kids you suddenly have adhd or ADD and you drug up kids because it becomes easier to follow. When did we lose our identity?

    Our biggest problem is lack of education. Our future generation is filled with idiots. They don't know why the current system works, and how we can improve it. They don't know what our problems are. Schools aren't doing much about this either. They are teaching us how to succeed in the economy, but not how to benefit it. Urban sprawl and zoning laws are almost never heard of as a national threat in the media. The media highlights that racism exist, but no one knows how to solve it. Our lives are increasingly getting controlled by people who know how to take advantage of the system, and the misinformed people are falling prey to it. People believe everything they are told. They don't know how to take the facts, and come up with their own conclusions.

    Humanities biggest problem is definitely deception! I like what @Fascism said about education, deception goes right before that. If we have been misinformed in our education, lied to, misinformed about definitions of words, our History, .. our concept of our universe, .. our world, .. even who we are, and where we came from, then no matter how much of, and how good of an education we get (brilliant teachers, the best of schools and supplies, variety of subjects et.) none of that will matter if we are continually being brainwashed and lied to.

    We have to put an end to deception, fascism and that starts with each individual standing up and doing something about it.

    What we have now is the "deceivers/fascist" in sheep's clothing forcing the already deceived to accept their deception, and alienate those who don't join. Creating a "One World of Deceived" zombies.

  • Me thinks the biggest problem on Earth is the same as it has always been, Negative INFLUENCE, although it may be getting better. If what I behold is less than True and I share it, have I not just contributed to negative influence and the degradation of mankind? 

    This process involves every action on Earth which has an effect that is measured in an upward/loving result or a downward/unloving result with perfection being at zero.  Neg-------------perfection-------------Pos.

    Perfection must have a range. The range allows for a degree of imperfection based on principles of Love, meaning that if the imperfection is sensibly harmless from a loving perspective, it qualifies as perfect. 

    I believe this because it is impossible to achieve absolute perfection. This can be proven just by understanding something like a carpenter's level. If she, the carpenter, sites the level and it appears to be perfect or TRUE, she can magnify the result and see that it is not perfect and adjust the level to what she now sees as perfect. In taking an even closer look, she'd see it is still not perfect and adjust again. This can go on into infinity. 

    So unless what is TRUE is accompanied by a feeling/emotion as to what is acceptably True, we might never discover what is True. The emotion then dictates what is actually True. Once the range of perfection can be felt as True, we can now share this Truth reliably as positive influence. Mankind does not operate this way. We share what we believe to be true or even share what we know not to be true and progress negatively. Call it the modern or scientific understanding of what is known as "original sin".

    I believe humanities's worst problem is ignorance. The lack of an open mind. People making the same mistakes over and over and never fixing themselves. Irrational hatred towards others based on appearance, ancestral history, (Slaves, genocides, etc) likes and dislikes, sexuality. Humans literally committing murder over a game of monopoly. https://www.ranker.com/list/the-7-board-games-that-led-to-murder/robert-wabash
    If all humans could accept each other for who they are, became open to possible solutions to serious problems https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/apr/13/followers-of-christ-idaho-religious-sect-child-mortality-refusing-medical-help , and if people could stop associating hair styles with genociders and stopped killing each other over those associations https://www.yahoo.com/beauty/colorado-man-stabbed-neo-nazi-haircut-163146326.html then the world would be a much better place.

    Where are these videos of this blooodbath?

    Yeah I know right? That was my point, there was no blood that you nor I could see, yet, .. look at the crowd, the long lines to give blood. This is going on everywhere, in my kids High School, places at work, everywhere, .. so where is the blood bath? It's coming.

    From what I understand the "bath" will be at the secret Elites Satanic parties that will be held this Halloween. With all the blood collected, they probably fill an Olympic sized swimming pool, where thousands of the possessed can take a bath in human blood, .. most likely heated too.

    The rest, .. they put it in our food so we can taste human blood too, .. to get the deceived ready for the big "Purge". Guns, .. drugs and Heavy Metal and Lady Gaga and the other soon to be sacrificed bimbos



    Now I know we sound "negative", but if we ignore all the senseless wars, 9-11, and now this, what's next?

    What's even more ironic my friend is that we have an answer, it is Jesus, and it is preached by the very Jesuit trained Illuminati MK-ultra'd Christian Mediums/Diviners that are all part of this deception. Now you see why things are not working and why evil sores with no signs of slowing down. This guy touches on many of what we see everyday.

    @joecavalry - Climate change is probably happening. But man has nothing to do with it and is incapable of stopping or even modifying it.

    CO2 has nothing to do with it. The explanations are long and complex and they are not up to being understood by people who get their science knowledge from Popular Science or from NASA's "modified" data sets.

    Here is a site that shows the way that NASA has changed their datasets without any explanation or any reasons:

    https://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/tracking-us-temperature-fraud/

    The longer any record set is measured the more likely that the maximums or minimums of that set are likely to be exceeded. This doesn't mean that anything unusual is happening. We have had an increase in Catagory 5 hurricanes on record? The F-ing record only runs from 1949. The likelihood of the record being broken is 100%.

    NASA and NOAA have been under the control of the environmentalists who have used the threat of instant death to have their way. It is time to start arresting and trying these people who have purposely threatened humanity with false science.

    Awesome article @Erfisflat ; and I'd like to add more to it:

    Remember the Mars Tour Bus?



    That is absolutely no different than this:




    A show, just like NASA, these False Flag events etc.
    Japan ruled Korea from 1910 until the Japanese surrendered after World War Two in 1945. Afterwards, Soviet troops occupied the area north of the 38th parallel, and US/Nazi troops the south, just like Germany right? The Nazis have no mercy on anyone, including their own people. The Germans understand what needs to be done, and suffer in silence, because the "goal" is greater than their comfort, and even their lives. And they have just about achieved their goal, total world domination.

    The Nazi-US government "guards" the N. Korean boarders both China side, but especially the South border to S. Korea, and it's NOT to protect S. Koreans, but to keep any poor, suffering hungry imprisoned N. Korean families/soldiers from escaping.
    Look at the "tour" video, the "guards' standing all proud just like Nazi soldiers did during Hitler's regime. Observe the video and you will see it is all dramatized to make it look like the North is just sooo dangerous, when in fact, many times when the soldiers bring a message over, they desperately try to come and stay, which is taken by the Nazis as an attack and they shoot them as they grovel on the floor on their knees begging them to let them stay.

    Even if there was not one N. Korean soldier guarding their boarders, no one could escape.

    I have read stories where the US-Nazis would either capture, or shoot any poor soldier, or family who crosses over to the South, then return them dead or alive, notify  their puppet Leader, identify them and there at home they round up, and torture the rest of their families to death, to keep the population terrified. And it makes some good home movies to watch for the special SS Agents back home.

    Oh, and I know that we here non-Germans are not any freer than the N. Koreans as far as surveillance goes. I know that every post I make, .. ever phone call, every text, every google search that I'm being monitored, and recorded. Heck, that's what our operating system is for, to keep records of us prisoners.

    But I know what they know and visa-versa that God rules over His! And it's only when He decides to let them to kill me is the Only Time that will happen. And boy oh boy they have tried. Why God keeps me alive????

    Maybe so I can see just how f-'t up this world is, so what you have shown me buddy, I thank you for. I sure would like to know more, how it was in the past, before the flood, .. you know what I mean?

    God bless you.

    @PowerPikachu21 - It is a major problem that today's society and social media is controlled by uneducated or miseducated people.

    Brushfire wars seem like extreme violence to people that cannot remember WW II. To those who are unaware that more people were killed in the most violent manner in the World Wars than every other war in human history put together.

    These small wars are NOT some exhibition of power. They are done for purposes. Because of civil unrest generated by academia, the US pulled out of Vietnam. Today in Vietnam under the communist party people do not live well. A very large portion of the population live as paupers.

    Because a large portion of the world's population live like this there will continue to be the threat of another world war. Why do you think that Kim Jung-un is such a threat?

    But with the millennial generation's ignorance of reality another world war is almost guaranteed. Hopefully I'll be long dead and gone before it happens but that still leaves my heirs. Who by the way are the same liberals.
