The “Modern World”

“As long as humans don’t realize their own nature, new technologies won’t solve any real issues.”

In the last two centuries, the modern world has given rise to modern civilization: globalization, overconsumption, a world that seems boundless and infinite—a reflection of the most powerful country in the world.

But when we understand that the resources which created this world are limited, while also being a threat and harmful to the planet, we also realize that the current idea of “welfare” is merely a delusion.

The sad reality is that most humans simply don’t know, and continue to live their lives doing their best, unaware of what is truly happening just beyond their door.

However, this is not the end.

More and more people are becoming conscious of their actions—that they carry weight in this world, that their behavior actually impacts the planet that will be left to future generations.

The future is now. The future is you.

    In order to maintain their StarDust, it was essential that any Esper kept their inner fire under control. Every Esper was born with their own fire burning inside them, and its intensity and color could take many forms!

    The reality is that screens have taken over the world—smartphones, tablets, computers—all within just a few decades. We also now understand that, physiologically speaking, it is recommended for young children to avoid screens as much as possible and instead use paper books. It is better for their brain development. And when we consider that our

    On Esperia, instead of food or water, the Espers could replenish their magical energy by being in contact with nature—by being gently caressed by the flow of water, and by feeling the flowery breeze of the wind passing through the leaves. They also needed to sleep, so that their StarDust could recharge and shine brightly
