re: ""I wonder why, with all the skill and creativity those cultures possessed, they never developed compassion?"" That seems to have been a fatal malady for all societies throughout the ages. Technological thinking has always been way AHEAD in the mind than an attempt at "understanding thinking".... Why? Because it is so much easier.. A cookbook approach, of course, to solving problems... This "old" thinking has always been to take advantage of, to oppress, to subdue your opposite, your opponent, your perceived inferior for whatever reason is that compassion and understanding has to be REMOVED from the equation first.. This has been the case since the human experiment was first placed in a crucible.. And it has always eventually led to the downfall of the oppresser. So to change things for the better, this human way of thinking has to jump "way out of the box".. But up to now: "It has always been easier, to reinvent the wheel, than the mind" (coug 07) c
