Proof of what? Our ridiculous sense of priority. The only things that's really developed correctly are cars. They're a lot better than they used to be and they're not spurious.
50 years ago they said that we'd living on Mars by now. And if it was left to the greatest generation who made those claims, as opposed to those ruddy boomers, we would be living on Mars(or at least the moon)by now in a debt free society and high wage economy.

Well, the human race is going nowhere fast, the higher the technology the faster...I won't be surprised if we live in caves in the not so far future... You know, history repeats itself, the wheel is turning...

Education, housing, food, wages, morality have all gone downhill these last 30 years of boomerdom. Half a millennia of western supremacy gone on their watch, too. The debt. And instead of a cure for cancer we have connecting singles.
The recent years of careless and partial use of our resources and potential is scandalous. Those cheap iPhones just weren't worth it.

In response to: well done folks...take a bow....2016....on words and up words....love
Yes it is rather impressive that we've made it to 2016 despite how totally screwed up the human race is now in general. Reading the news is SO depressing these days...

We don't need to wait for a disaster to happen, we are as much disastrous for ourselves as nothing else... And the Sun will still be shining when we are gone...

The human race in the main, is suffering from inherent insanity, fueled by greed, ignorance, self cherishing and many similar delusions. Personal growth is seen as achieving wealth, possessions and power when in fact, no real growth is achieved. Love is seen as something to be found and bestowed upon those who will reciprocate, when in fact it should be given freely to all.
Apart from all that, pride is a delusion in itself.

A lot of people have a twisted ego (flawed sense of self awareness imo) contributing to the insanity you mention.
