this applies to smart and good people,not the ones that rule the world,thats the problem.Theres too small number of good people,and those that had chance to be good were brainwashed and poisoned with lies.
I think people can becose something awesome but in current system we live in its
impossible
it applies to everyone. everyone is a part of the development. but yeah, some are frozen on that line of progress... there's a generation gap between successive revolutionary ideas, because things do get frozen/imprinted into the minds of people and then you need that generation to die out for fresh ideas. but that doesn't mean that these people, frozen in those particular ways, are not still a part of the developing earth, and contributing to its development.

I think so too. But it's bit hard to find consensus how to find such direction and what could it be.
as you go further back in time, revolutions like what is happening in egypt and many other countries were simply held down and slaughtered, because there was no global media to show the world. transparency and honesty are increasing.
as you go further back in time, on a large scale, and examine human remains, you are more likely to die at the hands of another human the farther back in time you go. the myth of eden is a myth.
as you go forward in time, awareness about our surroundings and our capability to influence it increase... not just in a straight line, but exponentially. meaning 1000 years of progress becomes 100 years of progress becomes 10 years of progress becomes 1 year becomes 10 days, etc.
all of these three factors have one primary variable impacting them... our technological progress.
the direction we should go is "forward". the status quo is causing absurd and unnecessary amounts of suffering, so it's clear we have to head somewhere... and it's clear that heading backwards, heading to more (less publicized) violence and more racism and more inequality is the wrong thing to do. conservative ideologies, nationalism, and religion used to have their social functions, but are now outdated in the grand scheme of things.
so my direction: internationalist (no borders; someone in El Paso should have access to healthcare in Ciudad) democratic (a true democracy can be brought about with information technology, imo... aka the internet) socialist (if everybody has what they need to survive, they can start worrying about more important things... like how to be less of a "virus")
