Degradation

Last night one of those 6 channels of shit, was showing what wasn't shit at all. It was Chaplin's fire fighters film.
I just wondered, we have not such people in 21st century anymore. People like Chaplin, John Lennon, Gandhi, Einstein, ... people who made great influences to the whole world. People who changed the world, who changed the way people think or do things. After the 80's, after the death of such people, everything got worse and worse till now. It feels like we are taking a degradation process. We seem civilised in many aspects, we use modern tools, but the problem is that we "do not think" civilised.
And I recall the future Spielberg showed in his "AI". The future with beautiful delicate humans who control the world as they imagine actions.
Just a mind flight! ;)
