| | | Partly very good comments by Haim. the main factor of the current precarious situation is the human character of arrogance and desire for unlimited power and wealth.
Proven over thousands of years that wealth is achieved by cooperation and removal of the desire for power over others with the elimination of personal ego with the desire to be filthy rich.
After all, it does not bring true happiness and satisfaction; in the end, you simply die.
So my take is that wealth and power do not make you happy or satisfied as with what you achieved in life day by day.
The war in Ukraine demonstrates the hubris of what I mentioned before - funds that could have been allocated to better the lives of billions end up in ruins and unnecessary suffering with animosity for generations to come
Haim has that very correct right up until the implied conclusion following the last sentence. The implied conclusion = Russians bad. Putin evil. We must conquer and destroy them. God is on our side. We the mighty shall destroy them and shove Russia and Russians back to peasantry, never to again threaten or compete with our great and glorious selves who will rule forever in our Fourth Reich.
So Haim implied the goodness of the very thing he decried in the first philosophical part with which I fully agree.
Namely :
The arc of human life [the best sort of human] is from foetal total dependence with no externality other than warmth, heartbeat, to total dependency as a baby for a few months, then decades of very rapid self-development, which necessarily achieves individual autonomy, success and ability and assets to expand beyond one's own self and immediate family and friends to benefit the local society and on to the whole world. A shift from babyhood total selfishness to hopefully 99% unselfishness in old age as all personal needs have been satisfied. Each person will go at their own speed and to their own possibilities and wishes. Some will never achieve autonomy let alone go on to make things great for people on the other side of the world. A very few will be like Dr Irwin Jacobs, Elon Musk, Steve Jobs and swarms of others, who create amazing things vastly more valuable than their personal needs require, simply to enjoy doing so and to benefit the billions who will carry on when they've gone.
The nasty, envious, limited egocentric chimpoids are clueless about the process and see them as disgustingly wealthy people who should be robbed, with the loot distributed to other envious, selfish, greedy, people concerned only with their own animal wants.
