A World without Caste, Racism, Religion - Think how nice it will be??

Well, just think, we can become a robot world and what we are doing right now, right here on myLot will no longer exist. You will not have the ability to think for yourself, you will not think any differently than anyone else and myLot would lose it's reason for being. There will be nothng to discuss. What a bleak outlook, if I cannot "live", what is the point of life?

MJ_Dakota, I think sometimes we forget that human behavior, or more accurately the dominant actions, are a reflection of what a particular society encourages. Although selfishness is human nature, a holistic view (think of more than just the self) is, as you somewhat hinted at, as well. The difference is certain societies encourage selfishness over selflessness, via its media, laws, familia structures, economy, etc. I agree with you that human beings use categories to better understand the world and thus certain divisive titles like race, religion, nation (although not necessarily these) will always serve some type of function, humans are not slaves to this. What I mean is, if we encouraged people to think more rationally, be more critical in how they interact, then these things will not be tools for exploitation.

[b]Oh dear, you are not aware of Asian Countries, we have lot of religions here, and even in Christianity itself, we have many groups, and 90% of religion in this world is not the same, because over 24% are musilms, 16% are chatholic christians, 5% are protestants and so on.. So, we have many groups within a religion itself.. Now we don't have sense of spirituality, rather politics in every church, mosque, temples etc..[/b]

Not to but in Arun, but I believe what Sataness met by 90% of religion being the same is that the basic concepts within those religions are similar. While there may be variety among the official name, they generally have a basic philosophy when it comes to how worshipers should behave, they all share a basic moral code (no killing, stealing, etc.), ect. It wasn't to say that 90% of people have the same religion, but that all of the different religions have similarities.

[b]I am not against the religion, but I hate the persons who cheat the people in the name of religion... When you look into the Christianity, how many categories we have, 1. Protestant 2. Catholic 3. Pentecostal 4. AFC (All For Christ) 5. AG (All For God) and some even worship MARY.. and still it goes on.. I hate these categories, why these categories arose, it is for the welfare of the Money Crocodiles (rich peoples) right?? Think about this.. [/b]

Yeah,I like that idea,and I will do my best to make the world better,but I still insist that it is a beautiful dream~~sorry

Many things start off as a dream. Remember that it is our actions which maintain our current reality, not the other way around. I think when people realize this, they can work toward what "realists" consider mere fantasy. Now before anyone jumps to conclusions, world peace, as in no more murder, hate ect. will not happen, but we certainly can eliminate quite a bit of the issues which contribute to these things with constant vigilance and the kind of hope that includes action.

Hey MJay, do you mind elaborating on the subject of the Soviet attempt? Where do you think they went wrong? I recently read a book about a state sponsored feminist attempt, which took place in Mao's China. The author said this effort failed because it: (A) Attempted to erase the feminine, and champion the masculine (in a sense erasing biological ideals regarding females), as opposed to eliminating traditional gender roles to allow both men and women to have equal access. (B) Was guided by a kind of patriarchy, which is pretty counter to feminism anyways. and (C) Never addressed the double work shift women faced. They worked outside along side men, only to come home and work there without adequate assistance from their male counterparts.

Sounds interesting - would you mind letting me know the title of the book you read? As regards state-sponsored attempts at cultural engineering (ow whatever you wish to call it), I think their use is somewhat limited. In Mao's China, for instance, feminism somehow became infected with patriarchy... I think they had the right idea in Soviet Russia; in the years immediately after the revolution, it was the most progressive state on earth in this regard (with various legislation passed to guarantee rights, etc.), and serious attempts were made to break down the boundaries between gendered identities. Against organised religion, the Soviet state passed a whole load of decrees ending the traditional interdependence of church and state; the 'traditional' iconoclasm of the Russian people was taken to hilarious extremes in the annihilation of various churches and temples; and priests themselves were legislated against. Sometimes killed - hence, bloody. Still, they had the right idea (separation of church and state, rejection of superstition, destruction of tradition, etc.).
