Oh! this is deep! and troubling and honest and everyone should read it to understand it.

Thank you for your words that make us think.

I once asked a neuroscientist friend to explain how does the brain do logic? What is controlled? Why did intelligence develop?

Movement is easy, but knowing when to stop is not.

That requires calculation and memory.

Same applies to logic, emotions, and beliefs.

So, now I understand how some were able to be ok with apartheid or slavery not long ago.

They are an older version of the human psychology software.

Did you know babies were operated on without anesthesia up until the mid 80s? Apparently doctors thought babies didn't feel pain! Crazy!

oh how far we have to go still to become human. those poor babies!

It makes me wonder what we are doing these days that we will look back on from the future and say, "How in the world did they think that was okay to do?"

Hej, wieder mal eine brilliante Geschichte/Beobachtung/präzise Wahrnehmung. — Ich wünschte, ich könnte sooo schreiben. Mit so viel atmosphärischem Gespür.

Danke dafür.

Brilliant Jan! Tight. Real. Deep. Shallow. It's all of us.

But I want to know what happened after this!

For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

If tribalism is the only measure of right and wrong, she is, possibly, more right than you.

On a different note, perhaps it is only possible to defeat our enemy without loss of self once we no longer hate them, and the ability to see that makes western man fatally weak in the face of the dubiously sentient.
