TODAY. The failed social species – Homo-not-sapiens-at-all

‘We’re supposed to be “social animals”, but I wonder about that.

Especially the “advanced” world, the predominantly white people, and particularly the anglophone world are directing their attention, their energy, and above all their MONEY. into ways to kill each other. More importantly perhaps, to kill “less white” people – Arabs and Chinese.

In Pakistan, melting of glaciers and extreme rain is causing heavy loss of life.

Today I read that millions of people in China are threatened by record-breaking floods – tens of thousands evacuated.

European villages are suffering unprecedented extreme heat stress, with rising numbers of heat deaths, as well as having experiencing months of drought and wildfires

One might think that the most important task for a social species would be to help these victims of global heating, and indeed to put a stop to, or at least slow down global heating.

But perhaps, the not-very-bright leaders of the advanced countries do not understand that we are all in fact one species, that for example, Palestinians are not a separate species of untermenschen. That even Russians and Chinese are people, too.

And that we’re all in the same perilous boat -and the job is to deal with climate change – not to enrich weapons manufacturers.
