I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

"Of course, this can be said to mean that the history of human civilization on Earth is not long enough, only a few thousand years."

"The United States has only existed for a little over two hundred years, and there is a possibility that things will improve in the future."

"But this is only a possibility."

"When dark clouds occupy the clouds, they obscure everything in the world."

"The only way to break through the darkness is through external impact; otherwise, the darkness will not be dispelled and the light will never come."

"However, I believe that, Mr. Tony, you will be the external force that breaks through the darkness."

"So initially I didn't want to express any opinion on the current situation in America."

Sarah has been traveling around America these past few days, witnessing all walks of life and understanding the key reasons why Earth's technology has not made any real progress in the last hundred years.

Those at the top don't want more companions; instead, they're thinking about how to exploit those below them.

How can a civilization truly rise when such people occupy high positions?

Sarah also tried to use words that weren't too harsh when discussing these matters.

Renoli, Kyle, Lacey, and the Precognizer didn't feel much.

The civilization of Earth is not actually that important to them; they only care because their compatriots live on Earth.

Star-Lord, Gamora, Nebula, Drax, and the other members of the Guardians of the Galaxy didn't seem to feel anything either.

Star-Lord, being born on Earth, considers it his home planet, but he never imagined he would stay there.

His stage is not on his home planet, Earth, but in the vast universe.

However, Tony, Banner, Stephen, Steve, Peggy, and the others were somewhat moved by Miss Sarah's few comments.

These words instantly made them think of many things.

Artificially, the learning path that most easily allows people to break through the shackles of social class has been severed, allowing only a minority to learn truly useful knowledge.

However, a very small number of people who rely on their outstanding talents to ignore the harsh environment and eventually break through the shackles to climb up are controlled by power and wealth, tainted by darkness, and forget their original aspirations.

The pinnacle of the American pyramid has been shrouded in darkness.

Therefore, many of America's talented individuals are recruited from other countries.

Jarvis wrote down everything Miss Sarah said.

"I will pay close attention to this issue in the future and try to find ways to change it."

"Miss Sarah, please continue."

Tony's eyes sharpened as he spoke.

Not to mention that her methods and knowledge amazed even Tony, which is why she was able to gain Kassadin's approval.

Miss Sarah, who was mentored by Miss Sonia and had the responsibility of recording, and Miss Lalatina, who was always helping him, were definitely not just pretty faces.

Both of them are truly talented individuals with both academic knowledge and practical skills.

Tony didn't dare tell Sarah because he knew that Miss Sonia's experience during her last visit to Earth wasn't very good either.

So this time, even though he knew that pressing for answers would displease Miss Sarah, he still wanted to get something out of her.

Now that Miss Sarah has brought it up, Tony has indeed noticed some problems.

He put himself in the shoes of someone who wasn't born into a high-ranking family on Earth.

He was born into a relatively ordinary family, even though his genius was still intact.

Whether he could be as successful as he was before joining the Cult of the Void was a question he answered in mere seconds: it was impossible.

As long as he retains his talent, he can achieve financial freedom across social classes, even if he comes from a poor background, by relying on his own abilities.

But this also made him put in more effort to improve his family and achieve financial freedom.

Moreover, his dreams will be completely different from his current ones, because different environments shape different personalities.

Success in life requires countless small but important choices, which accumulate to achieve success.

One cannot choose the family one is born into, but this is the first passive choice in life, and also the one with the most profound impact.

Some are born in Rome and never have to struggle for money, while others are born as mules and horses and spend their entire lives struggling for food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.

The influence of both environments is enormous.

Of course, the world is inherently unfair, but we can strive to achieve a certain degree of fairness.

If it is for the sake of the development of civilization, then at least the path to breaking through social classes should not be cut off.

Tony has also read through the history of the Xandar civilization, but because he was born into a high-ranking family on Earth.

Therefore, he had become accustomed to many things on Earth and did not immediately realize that the path to education had been cut off.

"And then there's the freedom, democracy, and equality that America prides itself on."

"Let's talk about freedom first. No matter how much a civilization praises and promotes freedom, freedom should always have a limit."

"The Void God Cult is like this, and so is the Xandar Empire; we are both free within a controlled sphere."

"But the freedom that America champions has become excessively indulgent."

"Everyone in America can buy guns. These weapons, which are extremely lethal to humans, have led to a high crime rate and a terrible state of public safety."

Seeing that Mr. Tony wasn't angry, but rather paying extra attention to these matters, Sarah continued talking.

She was learning some difficult things and needed Sonia, her senior, to guide her directly.

However, studying these simple things about the history of civilizations doesn't take much time at all.

This led Sarah to discover a fundamental problem: it wasn't that the security situation on Earth was too bad, but rather that the security situation in America was too bad.

"I looked through the histories of various countries on Earth."

"It was discovered that the United States sells the most guns."

"America has actually had wise leaders who wanted to ban guns."

"However, the upper echelons of the United States, which are already shrouded in darkness, do not want this light to descend upon America."

"Because guns symbolize a huge chain of interests, no one can touch this pie."

"The purpose of people carrying weapons at will should be for self-defense, not for plundering others."

"However, American politicians don't value human lives; they only care about making money. Even if leaders want to take action, they are unable to do so because of a large number of bribed people."

"It is truly rare for money to be able to supersede power."

Sarah witnessed many deaths in just two days.

They died not from natural disasters but from man-made ones; human life is worthless in America.

Even though Sarah was blessed by the void and was immune to weak weapons like guns, she wasn't in the mood to wander around.

It would be a miracle if she were in a good mood, since she would be able to see the crime scene just by walking around.

However, I managed to get a few days off from my senior Sonia and came to Mr. Tony's hometown, Blue Star.

So Sarah didn't really want to say anything. Anyway, there's plenty of time in the future. If she didn't have enough fun this time, she could just go play in other civilizations later.

But Mr. Tony made things difficult for her, asking her to talk about her experience on the journey to Earth.

Chapter 595 The Essence of Institutions

"It is indeed quite difficult to improve this situation."

Steve spoke up after hearing what Miss Sarah said.

As American society becomes more modernized, the crime rate has actually increased instead of decreased.

Even a genetically modified human like Steve, who was originally a superhuman among humans, has to be careful when facing a gun.

Not to mention the common scenario of unarmed ordinary people facing armed individuals.

Whether they can save their lives does not depend on their own decisions, but on those who have guns.

It can be said that everyone used the guns in their hands to acquire powerful weapons that surpassed those of ordinary people, giving them the ability to easily take people's lives.

The sheer number of gun-related murders in the United States each year is so large that more than half of all murders are gun-related.

Steve didn't want to trust American politicians or take orders from them anymore, but he undoubtedly supported gun control.

After all, the crime rate in the United States is simply too high.

However, he also understood that banning this thing was much more difficult than many other things.

If you want to improve the problem of disrupted educational pathways, all you need is money to operate it.

If Tony continues to expand his business and is willing to build various schools, charge lower tuition fees, and promote some benefits to support the education industry, then change will be possible.

Even if this might affect the interests of some people, education is not something that can be achieved overnight; it requires time and gradual progress.

Therefore, it will not immediately affect the interests of too many people, and will not cause too much obstruction.

However, gun trafficking itself represents a huge economic chain, and it's a big pie for many people, including some politicians.

If we want to ban guns, it will affect the interests of those people, so how could they possibly allow it?

Otherwise, some American leaders wouldn't have failed for so many years; it's because money truly trumps power, leaving them with the will but not the power.

"I don't know the exact number of people who have guns, although I haven't checked the data and my understanding is not specific enough."

"But if the crime rate can't be brought down and instead keeps rising, people can't feel at ease."

"When people are living in fear and cannot live in peace, it is impossible for a consensus of trust to be formed."

"Without collective consensus, even if you, Mr. Tony, forcefully bring about a union of humanity into a community with a shared future for mankind, it will be meaningless."

"It's only a matter of time before the internal division into various factions occurs."

“Mr. Tony, your vision for building Blue Star is undoubtedly a great thing for your homeland.”

“But achieving this ideal is not an easy thing.”

"The difficulty of integrating all of humanity is far greater than building a power from scratch and developing it step by step."

"If you want to create a community of shared destiny, first try to rectify the internal situation and make the people inside feel at ease, and then consider the issue of uniting various forces."

Upon hearing Mr. Steve's words, Sarah disregarded the difficulty of the matter and directly stated the profound impact of such an event being uncontrollable.
