What made the 2000s great (personal experience)...

In the 2000s, some things were really messy because of foreign entities for me but the 2000s had times of being great in that whatever was expected of you was written clearly on paper or put verbally in simple terms. 

You could listen & watch anything you liked on any media without feeling you're selling out to some cause. 

People weren't out to try make you something you never were other than entitled outsiders. 

You weren't obliged to be anywhere or with anyone. If you wanted to see someone, you went to see them or arranged to meet them somewhere. Simple. 

The world really felt bigger than you in the 2000s. Today, the world almost feels like it's being designed as you live. It's a very counterintuitive & unsettling feeling. It makes the world feel flimsy, fabricated & unstable. When in the 2000s people were busy with their lives... Today, it feels like people are busy with other peoples lives & this culture of small-mindedness really makes mice out of people you expected to be "bigger-minded". It makes huge authoritative, educational, financial, political, industry & social establishments you used to respect as a child feel tiny & unserious. 

Today's world really makes a joke of itself. All the good, strong men that would lead us in the past are now scavengers for anything including anything that you have. It's really pitiful. I would have never believed such things would happen if you showed me how life would play out in 2025 as a twelve year old back in 2002. 

The kids of today don't know what it means to respect something, anything. And I'm not sure if that's what God Himself wants. 

The post-2000s world really feels surreal, not genuine, unnatural & illegitimately fabricated. 

And I think today's world just shows the importance of keeping to yourself & looking out for what's important instead of tiny, meaningless things. 

Living in a world that is bigger than individuals keeps everyone sane & safe.

What is a sport?

When watching equestrian (show jumping & horseracing), I used to wonder how such events got into the Olympics. I used to be of the belief that sports are events where you'd have to do an amount of running & sweating but it turns out that my concept of sport is biased. 

My preferred sports haven't changed but I'll now have to classify motorsport racing, equestrian, diving & maybe even board games as sports while rodeo & freestyle football are left out in the cold in the Olympics. 

Maps that can stop wars.

After European colonialism, three continents were left with newly-imposed borders: Africa, Australia & America. None of these continents have their indigenous name & they still have incorrect ethnic borders to this day. These borders cause ethnic wars & ethnic tensions but little has been done to address the problems they cause. As Europe & Fareast Asia are already divided into their respective ethnic regions, only South Asia, Africa, Australia & America are left to be "fixed". 

 Africa (or Kwatu). 

The east of Asia has it's ethnic borders aligned with it's political borders. From India going west, it looks like a bit of a jumble. 

Australia. | N. B. Aborigines of Australia, New Zealand & Oceania are not black i.e. "not from Africa". 

The Americas: North & South America in their natural state.

The United Nations, African Union & the South African constitution recognises that indigenous communities exist & has legislature preventing ethnic discrimination & it's associated traits. Secession of indigenous lands is even promoted in the African Charter on Human & People's Rights as well as legally allowed in the legislation of South Africa.
