Steven:

I appreciate the depth and metaphor of your response. In partial return, I will ask:

Is the "force" totally in line with our current societal values? Like, do the population control methods of the lemmings fit within the "force," or are they an abomination? Are the population control methods applied by each level of the feeding chain, swiping out a great percentage of the next lower level, part of the "force?"

I may sound like an Xhole. But I am trying not to be one.

I have of recent years come up with the suspicion that many of our human horrors may be natural to us, rather than reprehensible and repugnant. I say suspicion because I do not want to believe this is true.

For about three decades, I was convinced that the black/white racial problems would eventually be solved by tanning out our population through intermarriage. This, unfortunately, or miserably, has fallen from my range of possible outcomes. I now fear an inevitable racial contest.

Yes, 80%, or so, of our global population lives utterly 'sub-human.' Is that us? I cannot conceive of, literally find it impossible to comprehend, how one of us humans, Gates, can control FIFTY-PLUS BILLIONS OF DOLLARS!

In sum, I am beginning to doubt the benevolence of the "force." I do not want to, but I do not find it a well-supported hypothesis.

Would you mind elucidating on your concept of the "force?"

Or are we too trivial to even think about? geo
