Thoughts on a Perfect World

efficiency

    Climate influences the people to adapt certain particular patterns of life and decides the limits of human productivity and efficiency.

    How does climate affect a person? Living in a tropical climate is tiresome and expends a lot of energy. This is inefficiency. This inefficiency carries over to other spheres of life, whether work, play or social behavior. A general feeling of worthlessness prevails as a person is ravaged in body and mind by the forces of nature, i.e. heat and rain. Life becomes a tiresome affair altogether.

    The lowest of human standards should mean, at the very least, good quality food, shelter and hygiene, freedom of expression, choice of work, a safe work environment and a high capacity to buy the latest technology. This may sound too impossible, but it is inhuman and unfair to make people toil for a lifetime for the capacity to buy the latest technology when there are those who can have it in the wink of an eye and hence be more efficient, productive and dominant over those who cannot.

    More and more of mankind become dispensable each day as technology grows exponentially. There is lesser and lesser dirty work that has to be done by humans. But accordingly, human population has to come down. But since the opposite is happening, mankind is pulled in two opposite directions, that of technology and efficiency and that of old-fashionedness and inefficiency.
