See, I think the reason people are so eager to believe in cetain religions and ideologies (communism comes to mind), is because they propose a plan. The world always seems so chaotic, and then this guy tells you there's a plan for everything. For Christians, it's the apocalypse and the believers going to heaven (or just the nice people, depending on which Christian you ask). For the communists, it's the workers overthrowing the bourgeoisie, and eventually establishing paradise on Earth whithout government. I have also noticed a trend in fiction - even TV shows - to say there's a plan. And I remember reading in a History book about Hitler's plans for after he would have won the war - I was surprised at how easy it's to get excited about a plan, no matter how bad you know (or don't know) it is. I mean, I'm a Jew (ethnically speaking), but I can see why the Germans were eager to follow.

Now, in truth, all of this plans are irrealistic. And I'm inclined to think it's almost impossible to make large-scale long-term plans that work - but maybe the keyword is 'almost'. Maybe.

Is anybody interested in making a plan, an agenda? I think the Transhuman page is a beggining, but that's just me...
