To see a world in a grain of sand<\/em><\/strong>
\nAnd to see heaven in a wild flower,<\/em><\/strong>
\nHold infinity in the palm of your hand,<\/em><\/strong>
\nAnd eternity in an hour.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A robin redbreast in a cage<\/em><\/strong>
\nPuts all heaven in a rage.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A dove-house fill\u2019d with doves and pigeons<\/em><\/strong>
\nShudders hell thro\u2019 all its regions.<\/em><\/strong>
\nA dog starv\u2019d at his master\u2019s gate<\/em><\/strong>
\nPredicts the ruin of the state.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A horse misused upon the road<\/em><\/strong>
\nCalls to heaven for human blood.<\/em><\/strong>
\nEach outcry of the hunted hare<\/em><\/strong>
\nA fibre from the brain does tear.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the course of 2017, I spent a lot of time detailing where we stand as a species and where I think we\u2019re going. To summarize, I think the positive impact of the internet and social media on humanity is still very much in its infancy. The more connected we become to one another across the planet, the more we\u2019ll realize we have far more in common with one another than we do with the sociopathic oligarchs and politicians in charge of our respective nation-states.<\/p>\n

Much of the 20th century was defined by unimaginable human conflict and terror, unleashed upon the public by crazed elites and rulers who were able to successfully manipulate large populations. The key to preventing a repeat of this sort of thing in the 21st century is billions of human beings across the planet communicating and sharing friendship with one another to the point we can no longer be tricked in killing each other. We need to learn to see \u201cthe other\u201d in ourselves and voluntarily collaborate\u00a0with our fellow humans on the challenges that face us in order to bring our species to the next level. This isn\u2019t just a pipe-dream or insane utopian ramblings, I think it\u2019s entirely possible.<\/p>\n
