I Dreamt That The World Had Changed

And that we had ripened as a race.

I had a dream last night that I won’t forget anytime soon. It was as strangely futuristic as it was prophetic. At least, that is my wish. As most dreams go, it happened in stages. People lived in a distinct reality. A much more profound one, psychologically speaking. Rather remarkable. 

Everyone's words had meaning, purpose, or an idea that could be further discussed. There was no more nonsense to speak, gossiping, or unnecessary gibberish. If one person started a conversation, the next would continue with something constructive to build upon, and so did the next, and so forth. 

Awake, I examined the dream and imagined the possibility of achieving such a wonderful experience. We waste so much time talking about nonsense, things that don’t matter, or even worse, causing friction and arguments. I imagine a world of indeed developed humans. And it was amazing, with a capital “A”. Even higher echelons of humans had bypassed vocalising altogether and only spoke telepathically. Human beings speak telepathically by choice. They had the option to communicate vocally like everyone else, but they remained completely silent in their conversations with each other. The cooperation between us was the most fascinating component of that world. 

The understanding that time is too short to waste it with pettiness. Just the fact that you only spoke if you had something to contribute to the conversation, no exceptions, was extraordinary in every sense of the word. So, we fostered the flourishing of ideas, engaged in healthy and intelligent discussions, and solved problems almost instantaneously, all based on reason. Shouldn’t we all seek to reach that kind of wisdom? Take me quickly to such a world. I can’t wait any longer.

Shall I meet you there?
