You mentioned conflicts... I'm finding that conflict isn't nearly as attractive or productive as cooperation.

Personal accomplishments through conflict could be seen as an addiction that temporarily satisfies the ego with an illusion. We do create strife, that's for certain. We are our own worst enemy when it comes down to it.

So to the original post, I wish there were better ideas and people were more willing to work together rather than try to, "get high" on their own. This forum was an idea for people to share ideas and inspire not only discussion of Philosophy but also implementation. It's through talks like this with people from all over the world that ideas are spread and realized.

By the way... Kalashnikov, welcome to the Philosophy Forum!
