Question: How, according to Ishmael, can we save the world? And according to you?
Answer: According to Ishmael, the way the narrator could save the world is by spreading his new knowledge, the way WE could save the world is by stop being Takers and turning into Leavers. I actually agree with this. We should all just go back to living like leavers, just without the bad hygiene. "The story of Genesis must be reversed. [...] And then of course, you must spit out the fruit of that forbidden tree." (Quinn, 248)
In my opinion, the only way to save the world, would be religious of course. But thats just me, my belief, the world won't accept this, what they might accept is whatever is convenient for them. Unfortunately, wople, or at least most of us, are ignorant to the problems our world is facin, politically, economically, environmentally and moral. In my opinon, the world is never going to be saved, we can try, but we won't change anything.

How do we stop being Takers? Is there a magic spell or a way to start changing our culture so we could become a Taker again?
ReplyDeleteThis is the pessimistic attitude Ishmael warns against. I hope that you can be convinced of a brighter future. We may be able to make change. We may not. But one thing is certain... if we don't BELIEVE we can, we will not.
