There’s always reason for peacefulness, if that’s your only reason, you should probably touch grass more brotha. There’s still lots of beauty in the world. Politics, money, ideology, and culture as a whole remove the presence of immediate experience, which inadvertently also takes away your peace. Once you find peace within yourself, you’ll find peace in the world.

as long as we’re being raped and pillaged by bankers and politicians
it’s not possible.
they are crushing us with theft.
It has to stop.
Of course it’s possible. The reason it seems otherwise is that those same individuals, along with the vast majority of the world, are not at peace with themselves. Power is pursued through corrupted incentive structures, which work hand in hand with ideological barriers that people can’t seem to escape. If you’re anticipating peace to arrive in your life from external forces, you will be waiting forever.
Peace comes from within. Until each individual and society grapples with unconscious forces, the lust for power, and seriously engages with the notion of self-experience, peace will remain elusive. As more individuals become conscious, they contribute to the creation of a more conscious society, which spreads like a morphogenetic field. It’s a simple fact: more conscious people create a more conscious society.
Well said. A profound rise in consciousness is what will bring peace (and sustainable living) to the human race. Bitcoin is a beautiful catalyst, but not the sole savior. The key for peace and joy lies within us, beyond our limited sense capacity.
