Reflection: #018
Another 20
years have passed.
God keeps
me alive for some reason.
Maybe to
enjoy the paradise in which we already live.
In the sixties, it was twenty years to the "future," thirty
years to total utopia. One could feel that we were heading toward a totally
fantastic madness. Fifty years have passed. A significant period. But have we
made any progress in that time? I say no. We went backward. I don't have any numbers at hand, but the
cars have multiplied many times over, the telephones have increased, and now
you can see pictures on them—they're mobile. Today, there are three billion
three hundred million mobile phones! The
sweat of a horse after a fast gallop has a strong smell, but it is still a
natural one. The petrol vapor you inhale when filling up, and the exhaust fumes
from poorly combusting diesel engines, on the other hand, are toxic. Cars still carry a stove and burn fuel. They
have air-filled tires that wear out quickly. Small damage to tires can lead to
severe accidents.
The brake pads still fill the air with asbestos (cancer!) instead of recovering kinetic energy during braking. Vehicles have a heavy gearbox instead of using an electric motor to control the speed on the wheels. A cable can transmit electricity to the engines flanged to the wheels, and a computer can regulate the necessary voltage—instead of transferring the speed with an iron Cardan shaft and gears in a gearbox filled with dirty oil!
What progress!
