Humanity has enemies… they are in the form of humans but present a threat to humans. Perhaps it would be appropriate to first define what in my opinion makes a human, a human. →A human should be capable of empathy for fellow humans, they should be able to show compassion and caring. A human would…

Human evolution continues… at least for some. Physical change is only one part of evolution. Thinking, the human mind, evolves as well. Evolution has allowed humanity to survive in the world of savagery. It made it possible to adapt to many areas of the planet as humans spread out from Africa. Everyone’s ancestor started there.…

Show me where liberals are any more tolerant than conservatives. Show me…. I don’t see it. Both groups have certain qualifications for membership… believe what they believe or get out…. that is the way people are everywhere. Groups are the problem, the disease, the need to belong is the vector.

There are the anti-vaxxers, the flat earthers, and even now the conservative right Christians persist in dismissing science and instead embracing ignorance. Endangering everyone, the…

Unrestrained capitalism cannot be allowed to prevail. Pure capitalism is completely oriented toward profit. Pure capitalism cares about nothing else. Pure capitalism will: Exploit human resources with a stark result Exploit natural resources without regard for the future Use politicians to pursue foreign resources, urging war where necessary End with the planet devastated and dead…

Just like humans there lurks within me a hidden monster.
