Nice thread.
Hopefully this will pan out.

Fear is a biological response of a threat to the ego-self.It makes the dog bark, the monkey scream and the human grab a shotgun.

Hopefully we will overcome the biological limitation soon.We have used that for tens of thousands of years, and what has it gotten us.



It got us here, thriving as a species, instead of extinct like millions of other species.



Hmmm,
Here-we have lots of nuclear weapons waiting to kill us all.
we kill each other for pieces of paper and metal and oil.

Thriving-yes we are, the starving people in Africa and the sub continent are thriving.The million or so dead Iraqis are thriving...

The system, the structure of human existence is fundamentally screwed up. If you cannot see that, then we really are no better than the wolly mammoth or the saber tooth tiger, and probably will join them in the history of this planet.
