There's a lot of projection going on out there.

We've seen a lot of what we want to be and not a lot of what we are. We've seen so much of what we want to be(whether on tv/movies, in books, fashion, stories/poetry, art or other media, even god concepts, or you name it), that I believe it's become hard for a lot of folks to recognize what we are. It's gotten a lot better in recent history I think, but still...

Lot of projection
Not even saying it's a bad thing except we should all reality check once in a while. Maybe even more frequently than we'd prefer.

Interesting Post.

Well, I don't think it's gotten better with time or recent history - it's become worse.

Truth is, we all know what we are - no good. What little good there is gets thrown out with the bath water in the face of a time that offers us "godhood" by transhuman means.
I want to see like an eagle and have night vision like an owl. I want the hearing ability of a dog, the strength of an elephant, the speed of a cheetah and the lifespan of an oak. I don't just want to look good, I want to "lock" my looks down to a certain appearance of age (say 21 years old for example). I want indestructible health so I can live as recklessly as I like with no ill consequence.
And of course, if you act now, all this can be yours for a price that you'll never afford in a hundred lifetimes.
Well, who doesn't want to be inexhaustably rich? And so the priorities of hope are set. We sharpen our knives and determine the necessary backs we need to stab in order to move on up the chain of society because, by god, I'm tired of being trampled under the feet of others and I know I'm so much better than you - I deserve my dreams.

It's a sad state of affairs between Hollywood, Madison Avenue, and the modern age of technology we live in.
No one wants to till the dirt and grow crops - they should just magically manage all that by themselves these days, including finding them on my plate at dinner time.
No one wants to ranch smelly chickens, stinking pigs and odorous cattle in the hot baking sun - they should magically manage themselves including finding them on the drive-thru menu at any corporate chain restaurant.

I want it all
And I want it now.
