modern civilizationComparing to modern civilization which started in Dutch and England, none of others have made more impact to human beings.

Due to it people's personal life seemed having become much better if you care about the sense of body only.

But if I was a Dutchman or Englishman, I would not be very proud.

Think about that song by Pink Floyd, "you are just another brick in the wall."

A civilized society should give talented people more chances,

since civilization means more detailed division of jobs.

Otherwise, all of Mozart can do is singing and dancing aroud firepile in the night.

But, modern civiliztion is too focus on being effective and constantly tryin to make people replacable parts of a hugh machine , inclunding a war machine.

In order to adapt to the various war machines and try to be part of them, people are losing the ability to remain independent (especially to think independently) and their talents are diminishing generation after generation. War does not make us better.

People often imagine the environment as a colosseum. The environment chooses those who suit them, not the strong. It is the weak (the simple-minded) who suit their environment (and become part of the war machine).

The Western push for individuality was an illusion and the reality was that the family could not be regulated into a screw or a brick to the detriment of industrialisation.

In the film Shawshank, there is a word called "institutionalisation".

People are divided into different prisons of the mind.

Not only are they used to these walls, but they are born into them, a brick in the wall, and they even enjoy it so much that they are willing to sacrifice everything for words like "glory" (or, ironically, "freedom").

All similar military governing disguised by slogans.

Since there are so many people keep thinking shallowly, not good must evil, not rich must loser,

I feel it is unfortunate for human being to have so many tools of high techonology, just like a boy playing huge knife.

By the way, from my view , the invention of modern business in Dutch is more important than industry revolution in England.

It has changed the way of organization.

In traditional society, including Roman or China, including anciet Greece, the society was not based on a buch of total stangers, which means the potential to expand unlimitedly,

including a power which be called as production capacity by Maxist,

but acutally also a destroying capacity to the nature.

Modern people can easily move for one company to company , it seems kind of a freedom.

But what the cost?
