The volume of Earth is: 1.08321×1012 km3 (2.59876×1011 cu mi). In short, that is a lot of fucking volume; more than you or I could possibly experience even with our entire lifetime to explore. 

The question is: can you fundamentally change the path of action on Earth during your lifetime? Unless you are a human that produces hundreds of thousands or many trillions of dollars in value for humanity, you will not produce enough power to fundamentally change humanity.

What does this mean? It means that you should not expend energy on political action. Political action is a fraud that will waste your human action on fantasy. What can you do to change the world? You may create life that abhors arbitrary power. Teach your offspring to understand power, and understand that it must not be given to anyone absent the clarity of philosophy. 

None of us will see the peace that philosophy brings, but we can play our part. Be the silent arbiter of order that life on Earth needs; deny the physical tenancy towards entropy.  No destiny is determined as long as free will exists. Happy new year!

Screw the rest of humanity. To the individual, moral action never was and never will be about them. So to follow true moral action, to intact true change, one simply needs to control oneself.

 

"He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still."

I can not make any sense out of your post Rosstronic. I suspect a drug might be involved in the creation of it. Though you mean well.

 

I will not take the post serious. Also you should note that the topic of determinlsm is not allowed by default here.

My approach to this is very apathetic, first and foremost my MGTOW lifestyle means that I will have no progeny and so no one I am directly responsible for, so the idea of "leaving the world in a better state than found it" or really any long term concerns are moot points for me, the question really becomes why should I care? Especially when the vast majority of society is so fundamentally based on violence (statism, democracy, etc)

 

I think you could probably make minor positive change (minor, on a global scale) over an entire lifetime dedicated to trying to cause change, but this is one of those problems which can only ever have an inter-generational solution, which is why I suspect Stefan targets peaceful parenting as much as he does, that's the most "bang for your buck". I find it really hard to care what happens past my death however, I'm not religious, I don't believe there's anything after and as much as I want peaceful cohabitation with society, I don't see any rational reason to concern myself with long term multi-generational changes that I'll never see the benefit of.

 

I think not having children is an important factor in this, if you want to have children and be responsible for another human being, then there's more encouragement to make sure the future is better than the past.
