Not for me. I decide for me irrespective of anyone else: <Not saying there is something wrong with your idea of VVV but leadership most come from the top down. > Though you are right in that while prisoner of those at the top, it limits virtue's scope. Sometimes to a starving bunk bed in a concentration camp [to apply Godwin's Law].

It's a philosophical thing.

There is as much wrong with my VVV as there is of my four forces of the apocalypse. They are immutable laws of nature.

The physical forces [gravity, electromagnetic, strong and weak] provide the framework for the equally immutable laws of consciousness which are as much part of reality as those 4 forces. They are more abstract forces, but very real for all that. Applying those VVV leads to vast realignment and redeployment of the four physical forces. There are now cities like London and there is even a satellite which has now passed the edge of the solar system, though that is far behind the leading edge of radio frequency transmissions from our little piece of the cosmos.

The harsh, relentless, merciless, evolutionary challenges which winnowed our dna generation after generation for millions of years, and which led to VVV and understanding the four forces, are not fooled or denied because some people, genetic byways and cultural highways go down a dead-end cul de sac, or over a fiscal cliff. There are now 6 billion people in the maw of evolutionary pressure, now running at an awesome speed and accelerating, now with genetic selection and engineering turbo-charging the normal process. A billion women are making their eugenic choices about who will produce the next generation. 6 billion people are being challenged for survival each day, with hordes failing the test.

The four forces and VVV never sleep.
