We should actually promote a NWO just so that we can know who owns us and demand a redistribution of wealth and an end to poverty. The challenge is in the unification of "we". People rarely bite the hand that feeds them, even if they abhor the wealthy. Chance as a real force is a myth. It has no basis in reality and no place in scientific inquiry. For science and philosophy to continue to advance in knowledge, chance must be demythologized once and for all. —RC Sproul "A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." —Mark Twain

True to a point but the filthy rich were not supposed to get as greedy as they have. Have a look and tell us if you think that the situation is getting immoral on the part of the rich. 9 out of 10 Americans are completely wrong about this mind-blowing fact. - Upworthy To me, it begins to look like we all belong to some oligarch. There is no bill of sale but we are all slaves. RegardsDL

I don't know about a new world order but it was announced this week that 62 people have more money than 50% of the world's population combined (3.6 billion people).

That happens because the masses will not make moral judgements thanks to their slave conditioning of kowtowing to their masters. I have posted this often while asking if it is showing an immoral situation and almost no one judges it at all. 9 out of 10 Americans are completely wrong about this mind-blowing fact. - Upworthy With that kind of slavish mentality, the masses will never live in the democracies they crave and will just settle for the oligarchies we all live in. We need a French Revolution across the whole world. RegardsDL

We have never really had a communist nation with a flat socio economic demographic pyramid. Even Russia and China have/had hierarchical shapes to theirs. We need to have democracy dismantle our present oligarchies and produce a moral looking socio economic demographic pyramid for the whole world. That is the moral way to go. At present, conditions are such that those at the top are protected the way no one else is as the system protects their money and position. That is a form of eugenics at work. I am putting links to a lot of information below. I hope you have the time to have a look at it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzQYA9Qjsi0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-rpkZe2OEo RegardsDL

They had great moral ambitions but all failed. It's generally called 'the human condition'. We're born to compete and look after our own. Social morality grows only very slowly. We're not ready to share fairly yet; as a species we're still childlike and greedy.Je suis Charlie. Je suis Ahmed. Je suis Juif. Je suis Parisien.

It would be interesting to see how this inequity has changed over time. It appears to be worse now than a decade or 3 ago. Maybe the worst in the last century.
Is it as bad as the late 1800's in the era of the robber barons? How does it compare to medieval Europe's feudal societies?

The word has always been massively unequal. But I suspect the real gap was wider then than now. Or another way of putting it, it's probably better to be poor today, than rich then.
The reason is the way GDP was static for thousands of years, then grew exponentially after the enlightenment and industrial revolution. (But, of course this is a very western-centric view of the world.)

You seem to be saying that what I think are our strong points to be deficits for mankind. The ambition to have us all the same is hardly moral. It may in fact be immoral. We used to think eugenics to equalize us all to be immoral. I think it still is. I do not see us as greedy but do recognize we have a selfish gene that wants to see each of us become the best or fittest of our species. I see nothing wrong with our instincts and would not try to work against them. If you know of Jung and Freud's Father Complex, you will know that our instincts drive us to compete so as to make us the fittest. If they did no, the weak would definitely inherit the earth, as Jesus put it, but that goes completely against nature. The drive to the greatest fitness is not a deficit but man's greatest asset.

Have a look at this graph and see that the robber barons of yesteryear are still with us and sitting at the extreme right of this graph. 9 out of 10 Americans are completely wrong about this mind-blowing fact. - Upworthy I also just picked this up and may be the latest information.
