What is an ideal society? Has the power and technology from our capitalist materialistic society helped as get closer to achieving our perfect lives? We argue the opposite. Socrates the ancient Greek Philosopher coined the phrase " know thyself" and perhaps that is what mankind needs to ponder as we now live in the most fragmented dysfunctional unhappy societies in recent history and political correctness and identity politics is the latest manifestation of this. Mankind evolved along with apes to function successfully in small tightly knit groups. Melting pots of dissimilar people crammed shoulder to shoulder with no unifying identity and indeed where our natural tendency to fear and reject difference is criminalised is anathema to us. We also question whether utopia would be all that appealing. On closer examination it would be very unstimulating and would quickly lead to boredom and discontent. It is the responsibility of government to lead us to being unified and homogeneous in identity. This was achieved by religion in the past in the West. We need to champion the nuclear family and local community. The only religion powerful enough at the moment is Islam although capitalism has eroded that as well. Otherwise mankind may drop of the cliff edge of the sine wave of species evolution and make way for the next rulers of the earth. Here's hoping that we become rapidly wiser or indeed they in their turn are.
