The greatest threat to humanity in our generation is extremism.

Group extremism involves loyalty to tribe, religion, race, national origin, extreme liberal chaos, extreme oppressive totalitarianism, etc. It is the false sense of devotion to a heritage within a group that tends to corrupt one to the extreme. The cost is a principled identity of self.

When the locus of fidelity is to intelligent and principled communion with others for the sake of common humanity, the likelihood of creating chasms between groups is reduced; just as it is widened by expressions of devotion to less deserving tenets.

Extremism is the plague of our generation; one that continues to flourish because y'all are so proud of it. My hope now turns to the youth.
