The basic issue is not the West but the whole global capitalist principle of profit over people. We measure everything in synthetic currency gains instead of value to the environment and its inhabitants.

Yet, this is the reality for thousands who are now wondering what the Enlightenment was for afterall.

Well said, and I agree. Just because we think something must be true and really want it to be true doesn’t make it so. The very fact that some people have long, healthy, prosperous lives and others have short, horrible, pain-filled ones is for me the best evidence that there is no all-loving, all-knowing, all-powerful god or gods.

“DON’T HURT” = ASK PERMISSION BEFORE YOU “DO GOOD”

Had the boys back at the lab complicate it up.

Intuitively, I feel that any endeavor that combines the enthusiasm of youth with the experience of veterans is bound to succeed.

Good luck!
