Happiness Through Technology

<p>In this episode, I ask my American friend Tim how he feels about the comfort and stability of Nordic societies. Is it possible to have a benevolent government?</p> <p>Upon reviewing our conversation, I'm reminded of a few things:</p> <p>1. Humans started being humans as part of smaller groups.</p> <p>2. As human populations grew, they needed to figure out a way to organize themselves, which resulted in government.</p> <p>3. All this external change happened quickly, while human internal mindset, and tribal instincts remained unchanged.</p> <p>4. Humans solved all previous problems through technology.</p> <p>5. If and when humans solve current societal problems such as violence and corruption, it will be through technology.</p> <p>6. In the meantime, it's a good idea for an individual to save at least 10% annual income and allow it to compound.</p>
