Me too, bro, me too.
- mlazos 8y agoThis prompted me to check out his blog. There's enough rant there for a few lifetimes.
- le-mark 8y agoI also check his blog from time to time, the quality of his rants have declined imo. Also he tended to beat the same drum, a bit myopic.
- TeMPOraL 8y agoMe three. I took a look. Wow, this is golden: We're not a "really fucked up species". Humans are not naturally good or evil. They're naturally unskilled-- ignorant, deluded, and often incompetent, but not evil. The purpose of civilization is to maintain the knowledge that helps people do the right thing. Unfortunately, societies become corrupt rapidly and develop elites that have defined themselves by doing the wrong thing, and then those wrong things begin to define the social tone and corruption sets in. Civilization is a storehouse of knowledge that helps people figure out what the right thing to do is, but societies are incentive systems that usually encourage doing the wrong thing.
