It's too late for me. I have two children aged 7 (boy) and 9 (girl) and I worry constantly about what the future holds for them. My girlfriend (of 20+ years) and I are trying our best to raise them so that they can be part of the solution to the problems faced on earth rather than part of the problem, but it's hard. Everything around them is seemingly designed to ensure that they do not develop the skills needed to change the world but rather become a cog in the system that they are taught to accept and never question. Now that I have had children and experienced the joy that comes with it, I would never change it even if I could but there are days when I feel helpless when I look around and see the society gradually decay around me.

It's easier to accept it all if you don't look into any of it of course and perhaps that is the mistake I made. I managed to make it to about 30 years old before I started to question the things I had always unquestionably believed to be true and ironically, I think it was the birth of my first child that started my on the path I am now on which means that I can no longer be blissfully ignorant of the way the world works.

Ultimately I suppose, it comes down to whether you believe humanity has a chance of rising above everything and raising it's consciousness to the point where enough people can see through the lies and illusion to be able to make the changes necessary. Ignorance is the main thing that is stopping humanity from reaching it's true potential in my opinion and the entire system from my perspective has been built to ensure that the majority remain ignorant. My children still go so state school which makes me a fool but we plan to start home schooling them before they go to secondary school so hopefully it isn't too late.

You talk about whether there will be enough housing or money for children to make purchases but money itself is a construct and is one of the main ways in which humanity is enslaved. They don't teach children about fractional reserve banking or how the world really works because if they did, as Henry Ford suggested, there would be a revolution by the morning (or something like that). For things to improve, children need to be taught the truth about the money system, how governments are not good but evil, how all the wars are bankers wars, that joining the armed forces is not something to be proud of but rather ashamed and that poverty in Africa and elsewhere exists because those that have the power and resources to end it choose not to.

They are never going to be taught the truth about the world in state schools and since most parents were educated in state schools they are unlikely to be taught it by their parents so this is the dilemma we face in my opinion. I'm not sure if I answered your question to be honest but I always feel better after venting in textual form ;-)

I only just noticed that you asked for people to actually do a post in reply but as I've already written this here I will leave it.

I watched the video you did the other day on world forest day and I was in awe of what you have built for yourself. I hope to be able to do something similar with my family one day if I ever get out of the debt trap and found the determination and drive that you obviously have to have been able to do what you have done.

Great job !
