The end of history says Ito in his book after the wall came down. That is when the latest myth started that America was special- not special — exceptional. such hubris. We are humans just like the rest of humanity. We are not special. In fact, we are very, very average but overconfident. Twain got it correct. Reagan set the model of never questioning yourself. It doesn’t matter if you are wrong or know little about anything, just show no doubt. The sheep will follow.
We are humans just like the rest of the world. We are not special. In fact, we are very, very average but overconfident. Twain got it correct. Reagan set the model of never questioning yourself. It doesn’t matter if you are wrong or know little about anything, just show no doubt. The sheep will follow. Intellegence, science and philosophy all require questioning everything and, many would say, the purpose of life is based on self-examination
of oneself – not everybody else — and always looking for ways to improve. That is what we are here for. Not to win at any cost or get the most money. We have a long way to go and if it wasn’t daunting enough with out of control climate change, we have to contend with people that cannot keep up. And rather than admit that, they blame people that are different. These are the same people that hang on to old myths, many which have been debunked or knocked off their pedestals. They are lost without a detailed plan of what to do, what is right and what is wrong. I don’t blame them for their situation but they need to recognize their limits and stop derailing progress.
