I asked a question a little while ago about fairy tale sand fantasy and why we don't strive to make them real if we like them so. I received many interesting answers but they al centre red around one central theme, we live in the 'real' world.
While our universe has laws of physics (Chaos Theory, Small World Effect, Thermodynamics, Random Chance, etc.) that prevent the more outrageous parts of fairy tales and fantasy like magic spells, magic creatures, destiny, etc. We are still capable of shaping the world to the way that we wish it to be, this one of the defining characteristics of humans.
So if we can shape the world to our will and if we have our fantasies of what the perfect world would be, why are we unable to make it happen?
AND
What is it about us as humans that makes us make the world the way that it is today?
Serious answers only please.
Please don't say that it is the fault of money, those in power, etc. because we have the ability to change it.
