Dear Editor, Herald Good Weekend,

THE WHOLE WORLD NEEDS A NEW SOFTWARE PROGRAMME
(TECHNO INDIFFERENCE AND GREEDY AMBITION IS THE RESULT OF THE ‘ME’ GENERATION)

Your letter and the accompanying article (“Editor’s Letter" Good Weekend Herald Saturday 4 April) are salient examples of what is happening in the larger picture of our world.

The values system that now exists in our Western Capitalist Economic Rationalist Globalised Consumerist way of life is one that is focussed on the individual and what that individual can get for themselves no matter the way they get it.

Tech Heads racing ahead with the Information Technology Revolution leaving a whole swag of humanity behind is a high profile example of a me first, me second and me third living practice that is now inculcated in our thinking. This myopic view of "bugger the rest I’m doing what I want" will bring us all undone if it is not placed in sane and balanced check. We’ve become a self serving greedy race of negatively focussed individuals driven increasingly by our own wants that seemingly are never satisfied. Hence all the unhappiness that someone else pays for.
In the case of the technology revolution it is the elderly.

By the looks of it our separation from our own foundational nature is bringing about its own correction. We have things now not working properly, cost of living increases, wars, awry climate. These effects and a whole lot more are the product of our own misguided mores.

Whatever way you look at it we’re in for a bumpy ride. But people would rather refuse to believe that it is our care to fix the problem by doing the hardest thing possible i.e. changing our own mindset. And where are the leaders encouraging us to do just that? Like babies that need another bottle we are thrown some concessions to desensitise us to the hard pragmatic prioritised action that needs to happen.

If we think that the current upheavals on many and varying levels of our world society are happening because of someone else’s doing then those irresponsible individuals are either choosing not to look or are so disconnected from themselves that they simply can't see their place in the bigger picture of things.

In the race to nowhere we find ourselves not knowing who we are.
We are now an unhappy world and in some convoluted twisted way believe that it is all someone else’s fault. Talk about disconnection. Sadly much of the pain we suffer we bring on ourselves.

Where is the shared responsibility to put down a nuts and bolts plan to point us in a conscious direction? We should all be responsible certainly far more-so for the increasingly unpalatable swill that we presently call our lives.

Where is our individual commitment towards the vision needed to let us see ourselves?

The whole world needs a new software programme and it's not called AI.
Pseudo reality is not reality.

Kind regards, Neville Williams
