Do you really believe that things would be boring if everyone meditated? I mean, I'd expect fewer crimes and such, but look at the famous people who have been meditating for 40 years: are they boring?

DO you think that the existence of crime and war in the world make the world a more interesting place to live? What if we used those same resources to go to Mars or devise a better educational system, or a better Internet? Wouldn't the world be at least as interesting in that situation? L
