    ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM SECURITY

    Our survival senses of good and bad, co-operation, reciprocity and empathy have one very important group effect in common. That effect is to produce a sense of equality between all members of a foraging band. Equality in turn, created a sense of “fairness” in social relations. That is to say, it is “fair” to receive the same rewards as everyone else for one’s contributions to society. When we complain that “life isn’t fair” in the modern world, the complaint occurs be causes one’s contribution to or sacrifices for society haven’t been properly reciprocated. Therefore, fairness, or lack thereof, in a society is a moral issue.

    Neuroscience has shown that few of a person’s decisions are made “rationally”. Most decisions, even those thought to be carefully reasoned, are effected by emotional factors. “The emotional brain responds more quickly to an event than the thinking brain.” [Daniel Goldman]. To get an idea of this concept, think of Rodin’s sculpture “The Thinker”. That guys been sitting on that rock for one hundred and eleven years thinking rationally and still hasn’t made up his mind.

    “And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden…” – Genesis 2:15

    We possessed the psychological developed that allowed us to bond in groups. We had co-operation. We had empathy. We had a sense of right and wrong. We understood the necessity of putting group needs ahead of our own. We had emotional reasoning. Most of all we had language, both verbal and non-verbal. We were now ready to occupy the environmental niche for which evolution had prepared us.

    I think Steph is a little down in the dumps.

    Happens to all bright-eyed proto communists. Normally, the collectivist-utopian zeal wears off by age 25 or so; maybe she’s a little late with her denoument…

    Being barefoot and pregnant would be an upgrade for Steffi. She thinks she can make a difference, but the oligarchs and CEOs know that everything is orchestrated- even the “protests”.

    Hard not to be when you find that the oligarchs in their secret Plutocracy is gaining more power and influence daily over all of us and it won’t be for the better. Not even for the status quo. But to fundamentally change the world into their image of Heaven on Earth. For the rest of us it will be different degrees of Hell.

    Look at any Third World country and see the future they want for all of us. The coming film “Elysian” puts it into stark relief. The super rich protected on their luxurious gigantic space station and the rest of humanity struggle in the flat, hot, garbage heaps and ruins of what it left. Laboring away for the unseen rulers of the world. Though by 2145 it will be hard going living on the Earth then. Think Permian extinction Earth and you will have an idea of what it might be like.
