        @Stuart.T:

        We live in a world of our own creation where social media influencers are actually a thing. Us humans, on balance, are shite.

        I tend to agree, and I tend to disagree. Bear with me:

        I think that humans are capable of anything that the laws of nature allow. The culture surrounding us (which doesn't necessarily emerge solely from human essence) can make our species really great or really terrible. For example, Germans, in my experience, are perfectly normal human beings, but under Hitler these otherwise rational folks adopted the story of Nazi Germany: Teutonic superiority and warrior culture, victimhood at the hands of everyone else post WWI, demonization of Jewish and other peoples and ideologies as the agents of this victimhood, eugenic theory, and a destiny of global dominance of the master race, and these perfectly normal folks did monstrous things that no sane person would countenance, much less participate in. If the human race were to adopt a story of unity, truth, sustainability, exploration, and The Golden Rule, I believe that we could reach the other end of the spectrum of our potential as a species. I guess all that is a restatement of Rousseau's tabula rasa.

        I think about this a lot these days because we truly are operating as a "virus with shoes" in this post-truth, empathy-deprived society, and I don't think that our behavior at large is a reflection of our nature so much as it is the stories that we are living as well as today's economics. If we can survive these stories and the damage they've done to our selves and our planet, we have a chance for our descendants to adopt different stories and for our species to thrive and less resemble a bacterial infection.

        The German state has acknowledged it's murders and is paying the survivors it can find. It's not much but it's an admission of guilt. We Americans are nowhere near admitting  our responsibility for the slaughter and imprisonment on the 'reservation' of  native Americans and the slavery and murder of black Americans.
        Not to mention the last 20 years overseas.

        Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
        Well, I have others.

          Looks like you and me, @Stuart.T ! 😃
          But don't get smart or it'll just be me… 😉

I wish there were a better internet forums app. I don’t understand how Tapatalk has held a seeming monopoly on this style of interface.
