Waiting for something better is getting redundant.

What if we don't come up with something? What's the next step for video games and their consoles? 50 years ago we were projecting ourselves into the future, the 2000s and beyond, with space colonies and extraterrestrial contact. Nowadays, we put the game stories in the past, to ancient civilizations to combat dragons and monsters.

What's next for the internet? What about the government? Corporacracy- corporations that act as a governing body over an area of land and a group of people. One nation under Walmart. Hail, Mac.

The next best thing doesn't even exist for religion because anyone who claims themself a prophet is criticized, ostracized, and is told s/he belongs in an asylum.

Everything is just a copy of a copy, in which we are trying to reinvent the wheel but it's starting to get redundant.

Scientists cannot even think of life forms that aren't similar to the ones on this planet. How parochial! How narrow-minded and vain to assume all life forms ought to be like us! Who's to say another life form needs temperate climate and oxygen to breathe? Homo sapiens could be something unique to this planet alone and like no other. Why should we assume that all other life forms ought to be like us? Because we're superior? Intelligent? Destructive?

It's obvious why there are no radically new ideas being created and shared: We judge anything and anyone that doesn't fit into our neat little conceptual box labelled "Normal." We assume that everyone should maintain the same spectrum of ideas as ourselves, and that anything past that is ostracized and denied. We still have a hard time accepting someone based on their sexual orientation and sexual identity, but we accepted the internet and cell phones and video games that condone destruction. We accepted the fact that democracy and capitalism are the best ways to go and shun those who decide otherwise; giving power to the masses, how radical! But one of the biggest obstacles today is marriage equality.

We sit and wait for something better to come along as we play on our iPhones and the internet, complaining about the lag time and how our battery is going to die because Temple Run is sapping it away. We wait for others to come up with better ideas because it's someone else's job, right? Right?!

No. Wrong.
