Who were those of Maldek?

[Kaaron]

I have noticed that you are very optimistic about where Earth is headed and its people. I am not—but am open to input. I was wondering if you could outline a bit why you think the current conditions today give you hope.

If it's ok with you, please outline why they appear bleak.

1. It's my observation that people are more anesthetized than ever because of the ubiquitous media, and the way it's so common to be attached to smart devices. This creates a situation whereby people do not think for themselves and are easily lead.
I would propose, people are anesthetized as a means of coping. These are the mechanisms. Perhaps they are easily lead because they are in ascension stasis, awaiting the traumatic catalyst that awaits all who choose to sleep?
If they are easily lead, it would imply their polarization could be swift, given the properly arranged catalyst.
2. In the business world, there is a growing lack of integrity, particularly with online businesses. (I could elaborate.)
Would this not signify the downfall of Babylon? How is this connected to a bleak future?
3. In the US, the millennial generation—in general—have grown up with this technology and are not forging out into the world physically the way previous generations did. Example: Being connected to the Internet is a connection, but at the same time, it can be a disconnection. You will see young people hanging out together but not really present with each other, because they are all on their phones. 
Why do you feel they need to forge out into the world physically? Are there advantages to being in one place, as opposed to another? Why do you feel they need to be present when in each others vicinity? Is it possible to be just as happy 'being' around someone, whilst elsewhere in spirit? Where does the spirit and mind go...when the imagination is invoked?
If it CAN be a disconnection, does the fault lie with the instrument, or violinist, when a wrong note is struck?
4. Still, the general population here in the US, seems to buy into the political system. I have very intelligent friends who think electing a democrat over a republican would make a difference, for example. They just can't seem to perceive any bigger picture about the system.
Have they been given other options?
It would seem your intelligent friends, have been gracefully endowed, with the priceless gift, 'hope'.
If another way were to arise, it would seem there would be atleast your intelligent friends, to recognize the better option, at the earliest convenience.

5. I hope this doesn't offend anyone, but I have noticed that there are more Christians here than ever—especially among young people. This tells me that they are following, not discovering. 
What are the values of Christ?
If they are following, where would this lead?
What would you rather they discover? And where would you suggest they place the temple?
6. Our technology does not synch with our general consciousness. We still war with each other and have horrific weaponry with which to do it. 
would you rather the technology you claim to find somewhat detrimental, be more synched with your consciousness? How would this be achieved?
How would it operate? Would said synchronized conscious tech, be equipped with the also mentioned 'horrific weaponry'?
7. Humanity in general has no respect for life outside of human life. We continue to use, abuse, torture, dismiss, and consume our 2D brothers and sisters (animals).
is it possible to package catalyst, in the form of abuse and torture?
Should every being go to the same place at the cessation of the physical complex?
