I have changed the title and the front page background graphic
for two reasons:
1. My purpose, nearly a decade ago, of convincing most reality
based people everywhere that human civilization, in order to
stop and reverse (i.e getting back to 350 PPM of atmospheric
Carbon Dioxide is sine qua non) the multiple extinctions causing
biosphere degradation (i.e. the Sixth Mass Extinction Event now
upon us), must VERY rapidly transition away from Hydrocarbon
Energy Sources to Renewable Energy Sources, has been largely
achieved. I have been one small voice among many that have made
it clear that clean energy must be made available to everyone,
not just the wealthy, if we are to survive Catastrophic Climate
Change.
2. Celebrated social theorist and geographer David Harvey asked,
"Is there a way to capture what (to the detriment of human
civilization) is going on now"?
My answer: YES.
It's the SOCIAL DARWINISM, stupid!
No matter how much progress we make in cleaning up the
biosphere, as long as the egocentric, morally bankrupt, empathy
deficit disordered, Social Darwinist Ideology continues to be
embraced by TPTB, we do not have a snowball's chance in Hell of
surviving our Existential Crisis.
Social Darwinists believe that ethics based principles are
'limitations pretending to be virtues'. To them, ethics are
'feel good illusions' that humans invented to pretend our
species has empathy. To Social Darwinists, empathy is
irrefutable evidence of inexcusable weakness. To them, all who
are guided by ethics are deluded fools that should be eliminated
from the human 'apex predator' gene pool for the "good" of our
species.
The ideology of the Social Darwinist is indistinguishable from
the despicable ideology of NAZI Germany, clearly exemplified in
their brutally enforced morally bankrupt concentration camp law:
“Eat your own bread, and if you can, that of your neighbor.”
Social Darwinism is actually based, not on "survival of the
fittest", but on fear of tomorrow, a morally bankrupt excuse for
rejecting altruism and empathy and embracing a selfish greed
dominated hoarding modus vivendi.

--- End Quote ---
Social Darwinism is the world view that spawned the profit over
people and planet neoliberal ideology. Neoliberal intellectuals
like Friedrich von Hayek, Ludwig von Mises and Milton Friedman
were all Social Darwinists long before they renamed
laissez-faire liberalism (that had been thoroughly discredited
by the Great Depression) with the catchy title of
"Neoliberalism".
The celebrated social theorist and geographer David Harvey
explains that neoliberal ideology serves the following
principle:
"There shall be no serious challenge to the absolute power of
money to rule absolutely. And that power is to be exercised with
one objective: Those possessed of money shall not only be
privileged to accumulate wealth endlessly at will, but they
shall have the right to inherit the earth, taking either direct
or indirect dominion, not only of the land and all the resources
and productive capacities that reside therein, but also assume
absolute command, directly or indirectly, over the labor and
creative capacities of all those others it needs. The rest of
humanity shall be deemed disposable."
"In human society, the amount of inequity is directly
proportional to the amount of iniquity." -- A. G. Gelbert
Sober Thinking requires that we all recognize the fact that a
society that is founded on altruism, not the "invisible hand" of
greed, is not optional if we wish to avoid exctinction.
Capitalism's "invisible hand" modus operandi is rooted in the
ideology of Social Darwinism.

The main purpose of the Sober Thinking Forum is to convince you,
regardless of your religious beliefs or lack of them, to soberly
think about these two quotes, embrace altruism, reject greed,
and convince as many people as you can that altruism is not
optional for human society:
--- Quote ---
> "Look at our world, our country, our interactions with each
other……… this is not the mark of a healthy society, and if these
are the self-appointed leaders of this flaming meteor…..it’s
time to move on to new ideas and new people. Let’s relegate
these fools to history. They perpetuate a narrative that it is
right to behave in a strictly selfish, exploitative manner
towards all. We simply can’t survive it any longer. Things will
change because they have to." -- Kathleen Wallace

"Technical knowledge of Carrying Capacity will not save us; Only
a Massive Increase in Caring Capacity will." -- A. G. Gelbert

By Eoin Higgins, Commondreams.org. Over 100 students from
Harvard Law School staged a public protest against a recruitment
dinner hosted by law firm Paul Weiss on Wednesday night, calling
for the company to cut ties with fossil fuel giant Exxon. In a
statement, the demonstrators said they were taking action
because of the severity of the climate crisis. "This is a

By Basav Sen, Otherwords. Late last year, The Washington Post
reported a remarkable poll finding: Nearly half of American
adults — 46 percent — believe the U.S. needs to “drastically
reduce” fossil fuel use in the near future to address the
climate crisis. Another 41 percent favor a more gradual
reduction. In short, almost 90 percent of us support
transitioning off fossil fuels — including over half of
Republicans, whose elected officials overwhelmingly support the
industry. -more-

[center]Europe’s Biomass Blunder Shows Why Trusting
🐘🦖 GOP’s Trillion Trees Climate 😉 Plan
Would Be A Bad Idea[/center]
The American Conservation Coalition’s campaign to greenwash
Republicans exists to generate ‘man bites dog’ type stories,
like hits in the Washington Post and Fox News on Monday, about
how maybe the GOP isn’t so bad on climate change, since they
spout catchphrases like “innovation” and claim to support
climate policies (that actually reward polluters), like the
Trillion Trees proposal.
While on the surface the GOP’s trillion trees sound like they
might be a great win for the environment and climate, we already
know what the reality of this sort of approach would mean: more
pollution. We know this is the case because it’s already
happening, thanks to a Sequoia-sized loophole in a European
Union policy similarly aimed at reducing emissions.
A recent CNN feature on Enviva’s North Carolina wood pellet
production facility (and a major feature by Danielle Purifoy,
writing for Scalawag Magazine, Southerly, and Environmental
Health News, last fall) make it clear that subsidizing the
timber industry is no climate solution.
It started in 2009, when the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive
“classified biomass as a renewable energy source — on par with
wind and solar power.” Instead of burning coal, they could burn
biomass, and supposedly reduce emissions by making use of waste
wood that would otherwise go unused. Unfortunately, though, the
policy doesn't require that it has to be waste wood, so now
companies are felling forests and sowing plantations across the
American Southeast to satisfy European energy demands.
(Seriously, the paralells to the slave trade are stark.) As a
result, those communities are facing dangerous levels of PM2.5
and other air pollutants, leading to a litany of health
complaints.
CNN spoke with people like Andrea Macklin about symptoms and
impacts from the biomass industry, finding issues ranging from a
loss of sleep due to the 24/7 noise from the plant, to a
majority of residents experiencing high blood pressure, with
Macklin’s heart condition forcing the 44-year-old out of work
and his wife and son’s asthma being exacerbated by the pollution
from Enviva’s plant. “Since the plant started operating,” CNN
reported, “his wife and son can’t spend more than five minutes
outside without coughing.”
Adding insult to literal injury? It’s not even actually reducing
the levels of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere. The only
place where levels are dropping are in the record-keeping of the
European companies, because the biomass’s carbon emissions are
recorded based on where the trees were cut, not where the
biomass was actually burned. That classification was made to
avoid double-counting when doing scientific calculations and was
not intended to be the basis for public policy where all
emissions end up in our one shared atmosphere no matter where
they’re burned. The climate doesn’t care if the wood pellets
processed in Northampton County, North Carolina are burned in
Northampton, England. The carbon pollution is going back into
the same atmosphere.
While 🦕😈 🐘 deniers sometimes
HTML https://stickershop.line-scdn.net/stickershop/v1/product/1451400/LINEStorePC/main.png<br
/>rail against U.S. climate action by pointing out that it will
just push industry out to countries with looser environmental
standards, increasing the total amount of pollution on the
planet, in this case, the U.S. is that polluter-permitting
country whose own citizens are suffering for the illusory
benefit of foreign carbon accounting balance sheets.
As usual, the specific people left to suffer with the downsides
of industry are those who already face a disproportionate burden
HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-040718162656-14241872.gif.<br
/>CNN analyzed records on pollution and demographics, because
not
only is Northampton, home to the Macklins and Enviva’s plant
(along with three additional major air pollution sources), is
predominately Black, but eight of Enviva’s nine plants are sited
“in communities that have higher percentage of Black residents
than their states as a whole.” All nine “are in census tracts
that have lower median household incomes than their states.”
Enviva says it takes environmental justice concerns “very
seriously”
HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/1/3-250718202127.gif<br
/>and that they “work closely” with locals “to ensure our
operations bring both positive economic and environmental
impact,” before writing off the complaints as “generic” and
coming from “the same activists we’ve heard from before.”
Which is not to say that trees aren’t part of the answer. But
it’s not just trees, it’s forests. The entire 🌲🌳
forest ecosystem needs to be functional for carbon to be stored
long term. As Dogwood Alliance co-founder Danna Smith explained
to CNN,”the forestry industry and the wood pellet industry says
that trees are renewable, but we aren’t renewing
thousand-year-old ecosystems. They’re renewing forests for
commercial
💵
HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-130418193910.gif<br
/>production. So you’ll see trees on the landscape that are
maybe,
you know, 30 years old. That’s not an ecosystem — that’s a fiber
farm.”
HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-250817124114.png
Still, some conservatives will insist subsidizing the timber
industry and further polluting historically excluded communities
is an acceptable price to pay to make it look like the GOP is
acting on climate. They'll also claim those polluting industries
will bring wealth and prosperity to those who live nearby.
HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/1/3-250718210558.gif
As Smith points out, however, “if the wood products industry and
biomass were a way of growing strong rural economies in the
southeastern region, these rural communities should be some of
the wealthiest on the planet. We are in the world’s largest wood
producing region. But you don’t see any evidence in these rural
communities of thriving rural economies. The opposite is
actually true.”
Subsidizing the timber industry in the name of climate action
doesn’t help the climate and offers little-to-no real economic
benefits to the local communities it floods with air pollution.
Anyone buying into the GOP’s trillion trees greenwashing wood do
well to reconsider.

/>11 September 2023: With less than one week to go, the Global
Fight to End Fossil Fuels has registered over 400 actions,
marches, rallies, and events around the world. These
mobilisations against fossil fuels are coordinated by more than
780 endorsing organizations, and are expected to draw millions
of participants between 15-17 September.
The actions are part of a mass global escalation demanding a
rapid end to fossil fuels in a just and equitable manner ahead
of the UN Climate Ambition Summit on September 20 in New York.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres has called on world
leaders to make ambitious commitments to phase out fossil fuels.
This historic global mobilisation renews and reinforces the
coordinated efforts focused on ending the era of fossil fuels.
The scale of this mobilisation and the urgency of the moment
underscore the devastating impacts of recent record-breaking
heat, deadly floods, and increased extreme weather events. The
mobilisations are expected to draw millions of people and put a
spotlight on world leaders who continue to expand oil, gas, and
coal. The campaign calls for renewed commitments for a rapid,
just, and equitable phase out from fossil fuels and a move
towards sustainable renewables. UN Secretary-General António
Guterres and millions of people around the globe are putting
pressure on world leaders to phase out fossil fuels and oppose
the fossil fuel industry, which profits from the oppression of
millions.
The science is clear: the world needs a rapid and just
transition to an efficient, fair, and universal energy system
based on clean energy sources, and produced with respect for
nature and the sovereign rights of Indigenous peoples and local
communities. The latest data backs up the International Energy
Agency finding that no new fossil fuel extraction can be
developed under a 1.5°C limit, and shows that over half of
existing fields and mines be shut down early while protecting
workers and communities. The responsibility lies with the
leaders of rich nations with a historical legacy of pollution to
deliver a fast and fair phase out of fossil fuels and fund it
globally.
[glow=greend,2,300]David Tong, Global Industry Campaign Manager
at Oil Change International:[/glow]
“It’s unthinkable to approve any new oil, gas, or coal
extraction. The science shows that 60% of developed, operating
fossil fuel reserves must stay underground to limit global
warming to 1.5°C. The reality is that oil and gas companies must
stop new exploration and extraction projects immediately, manage
the decline of existing reserves to meet shrinking demand, and
support workers to transition to other sectors. No major oil and
gas company is pledging to do the bare minimum to prevent
climate chaos. Our Big Oil Reality Check analysis finds that the
climate pledges of BP, Chevron, Eni, Equinor, ExxonMobil,
Repsol, Shell, and TotalEnergies are grossly insufficient
compared to what is needed to make the world a place where we
all breathe clean air, drink pristine water, trust that our
homes are safe from unnatural disasters, and live a good life.”
[glow=green,2,300]
Tasneem Essop, Executive Director, Climate Action Network,
said:[/glow]
"July 2023 was the hottest month in recorded climate history.
The unparalleled, deadly climate disasters sweeping the world
seem to leave polluters unfazed. Historical emitters like
Norway, the UK and the USA are announcing new fossil fuel
projects even as floods, fires and heatwaves take over our
lives. We take inspiration from recent victories in the Yasuni
region with the referendum to stop oil drilling. When we the
people use our collective power we can win. Let our resistance
against fossil fuels in September send a loud message to the
fossil fuel industry and their supporters that their time is
up."
[glow=green,2,300]Catherine Abreu Founder & Executive Director
Destination Zero[/glow], Co-chair, Global Gas and Oil Network
(GGON) International Policy working group, said:
“Deny, delay, deceive: the desperate tactics used by desperate
men to cover up the truth of climate change, crush government
action, and convince us to lay the blame for the devastation
we're facing somewhere other than where it belongs - squarely at
the feet of the fossil fuel industry. The march to end fossil
fuels, alongside the UN Secretary General's powerful
Acceleration Agenda, is ringing an alarm that will wake the
world. International consensus that we need a just and equitable
phase-out of all fossil fuels is clearer than ever. It's time
our climate treaties name the cause of the crisis - COP28 can
and must deliver an agreement to rapidly shift to efficient,
safe, renewable energy.”
[glow=teal,2,300]Lidy Nacpil[/glow], Asian Peoples’ Movement on
Debt and Development, member organisation of Global Campaign to
Demand Climate Justice, said:
"The world must pursue a rapid, equitable and just phase out of
fossil fuels and directly transition to renewable energy. No
false solutions, no loopholes, no detours through so called
bridge fuels. The world can not afford any delays to reaching
real zero emissions by 2050. An equitable and just phase out
requires the full delivery of climate finance obligations of
wealthy countries to the Global South. They must pay reparations
for their responsibility for the climate crisis. The biggest
emitters have been failing to meet their fair shares of climate
actions, including their climate finance obligations. Fossil
fuel corporations are expanding rather than phasing out.
Governments and corporations are committing the gravest
injustices to people all over the world, especially the Global
South."

Pakistan: More than three thousand people are expected to join
the Pakistan Climate March organized with the Asian People's
Movement on Debt and Development (APMDD) and Hari Jedojehad
Committee (Peasant’s Struggle Committee). The march will be held
in the southern province of Sindh and seeks to highlight the
losses and damages from last year’s catastrophic flooding. A
quarter of Sindh’s population of about 50 million were affected
by the floods and parts of Sindh remain under water to this day.

“We demand a phaseout of fossil fuels now. The fossil fuel
industry and its supporters bear responsibility for the climate
crisis and perpetuate a predatory and destructive economic
system that harms both people and the planet. We call upon
developed countries, the big emitters, to fulfill the $10
billion they promised to Pakistan immediately and to pay
reparations for the loss and damage,” said Tariq.

said:
“What we need now is a major structural shift in our energy
system. In the past this would have included the shifts from
biomass to coal and then to oil. Today’s transition is primarily
driven by the need to manage climate change and decarbonise our
fossil-based economies with sustainable sources of energy, such
as wind and solar. Every sector that generates, transports, or
consumes energy will be impacted.
“To meet the 1.5C global warming target set after the Paris
Agreement and avoid the worst climate impacts, global greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions will first need to drop by half by 2030,
then reach net-zero around mid-century. Therefore, a transition
needs to happen fast and A Fossil Fuel non-proliferation treaty
is the beginning of that transition that every Country should
embrace now.”
Europe:
Germany:Around 200 climate strikes, marches, and rallies have
been registered in Germany alone with civil society, ForFuture
groups, NGOs, religious groups, and the public service labor
unions. Additional actions are planned against a new LNG
terminal in Rügen (Baltic Sea) by Ende Gelände, Sept 22-24, and
GreenFaith Germany. Numerous climate action will also take place
on September 16 in Bonn, host city of the UN Climate
Secretariat, including at the SDG festival, BeFuture Festival
(for constructive journalism), and through public climate
artivism. Earlier this month, Scientists4Future issued a
statement, signed by more than 400 scientists, calling on German
politicians to set partisanship aside to address the climate
crisis.
[glow=green,2,300]Sandra Prüfer[/glow] from Parents For Future
Germany, said:
“We, as parents, cannot remain silent as the fossil fuel
industry robs our children of a livable future. Yet the fossil
fuel juggernaut continues on like a runaway train with our
children’s futures on the track. This is why we joined the
growing call on governments to negotiate and implement a Fossil
Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty. A clear, global plan to phase out
fossil fuels is the first part of a better story for all
children.”
Latin America:
Yasuní National Park, Ecuador: Declared a “biosphere reserve” by
UNESCO, Yasuní National Park is one of the most biodiverse
places on earth. In a popular consultation in August,
Ecuadorians decided to stop oil drilling within Yasuní National
Park. Yasunidos, the collective which pushed for the referendum
a decade, is remaining vigilant for the result to be enforced.
On September 15th, groups are organizing an event and press
conference to launch a monitoring commission to enforce
compliance of the decision.
Yvonne Yanez, co-founder of Acción Ecológica, said:
“On August 20, Ecuadorians voted to keep oil in the ground in
Ecuadorian Amazonia. This is a declaration from the people that
we want to be a post oil economy. This is a great victory, but
we haven't won yet, because oil companies and Government don't
want to adhere to the vote. What the Yasuni movement gives us is
an opportunity. An opportunity to really consider what
ecojustice, and a just transition really looks like, and to
demand for that future. We need to be alert, be inspired but be
active and not let this victory be stripped away. Be
#FastFairForever and Furious. Ending the extraction of fossil
fuels is essential. Ecuador's popular decision is an example to
the world that with will it is possible to move towards oil-free
communities.”
North America:
New York, New York: The March to End Fossil Fuels mobilization
will be on September 17 in New York City. Groups including the
NAACP, Sierra Club, and Sunrise Movement have signed on to
support the march and its demands for President Biden to take
bold action on fossil fuels in the wake of a deadly,
record-breaking summer of extreme heat and climate disasters. In
addition to the 500 groups supporting the march, nationally
recognized leaders including Sen. Ed Markey, Reps. Rashida Tlaib
and Jamaal Bowman, Tennessee State Rep. Justin Pearson, Jane
Fonda, Naomi Klein, Mark Ruffalo, and Bill McKibben are backing
the march. More than 10,000 people from across the country are
expected to attend.
[glow=green,2,300]Jean Su, Energy Justice Director at the Center
for Biological Diversity[/glow], Board Chair of Climate Action
Network International, and co-coordinator of the NYC March to
End Fossil Fuels, said:
“The hottest summer on record is galvanizing people across the
globe like never before to cry out for lifesaving climate
action. Biden and world leaders need to answer those cries by
ending the era of fossil fuels. As leader of the world’s largest
oil and gas producer and the greatest historic climate polluter,
Biden has power like no one else to lead the world off the
fossil fuels poisoning our planet and communities. It’s time he
starts using them to become the climate leader we need.”

AGelbert COMMENT:
May God Bless all these people of good will who valiantly
advocate for responsible human stewardship of our biosphere. We
need fossil fuels like a dog needs ticks.
[b]Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after
righteousness: for they shall be filled. ~ Matthew 5:6[/b]
June 10, 1963 John F. Kennedy:
“Finally, my fellow Americans, let us examine our attitude
toward peace and freedom here at home. The quality and spirit of
our own society must justify and support our efforts abroad. We
must show it in the dedication of our own lives — as many of you
who are graduating today will have a unique opportunity to do,
by serving without pay in the Peace Corps abroad or in the
proposed National Service Corps here at home.
But wherever we are, we must all, in our daily lives, live up to
the age-old faith that peace and freedom walk together. In too
many of our cities today, the peace is not secure because the
freedom is incomplete.
It is the responsibility of the executive branch at all levels
of government — local, State, and National — to provide and
protect that freedom for all of our citizens by all means within
their authority. It is the responsibility of the legislative
branch at all levels, wherever that authority is not now
adequate, to make it adequate. And it is the responsibility of
all citizens in all sections of this country to respect the
rights of all others and to respect the law of the land.
All this is not unrelated to world peace. “When one’s ways
please the Lord,” the Scriptures tell us, “they maketh even
their enemies to be at peace with them.” And is not
[glow=green,2,300]peace[/glow], in the last analysis, basically
a matter of human rights — the right to live out our lives
without fear of devastation — [glow=teal,2,300]the right to
breathe air as nature provided it — the right of future
generations to a healthy existence[/glow]?
While we proceed to safeguard our national interests, let us
also safeguard human interests. And the elimination of war and
arms is clearly in the interest of both.”

[center]Is [glow=red,2,300]Capitalism[/glow] Really
[glow=teal,2,300]Human Nature[/glow]? [/center]

HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-080822134118-1710799.gif<br
/>Well, there is no question that alligators, T-rexes and
turtles
(and all other forms of non-human critters in our biosphere) are
not known for their embrace of an ideology that celebrates
rampant abusive exploitation of fellow members of their species
while vigorously destroying all their "seed corn" (otherwise
known as prey species and plant life autotroph habitats). So,
Capitalism is a thing some humans came up with.
The fact that some morally bankrupt bastards among us came up
with this socially destructive ideology DOES mean that PART of
Human Nature is responsible for it. However, it is a BASIC FLAW
in logic, commonly known as a False Equivalence, perpetrated Ad
Infinitum Ad Nauseum by those very same morally bankrupt
bastards among us, to claim that this PART of Human Nature is
"ALL" that motivates our actions.
I have heard that "form of logic" since I was knee high to a
grasshopper. Our culture is thoroughly drenched with trite and
pithy sayings about "people are just people" and so on. T-Rexes
just "do what they do", right?
WRONG!!! First of all, as I explained above, predators in nature
are not STUPID. Capitalists ARE STUPID because their ideology is
contrary to absolutely all species preserving and protecting
behavior in NATURE.
This is a BIG and rather complex subject. Capitalists are quick
to compare Human behavior with bacteria, which, when placed in a
petri dish with some yummy agar nutrient, will eat it ALL until
the "ring circling" futile attempt to keep most of the bacteria
chomping down on the agar from eating it all, while the
"fittest", that ring circled the agar food supply, feast (for a
short while until even the "fittest" die from starvation).
Bacterial modus operandi and modus vivendi has NOTHING to do
with Human Nature.
WHY? Simply because the biosphere is not a petri dish and
bacteria, ubiquitous in nature, MUST be voracious, non-thinking
eaters in order to recycle the massive amounts of detritus
generated naturally.
YEAH, bacteria just do what they do, 📢 FOR THE BENEFIT
OF ALL HIGHER LIFE FORMS! Of course Capitalists, Social
Darwinists to the core, don't want to hear about that. A person
with critical thinking skills might rationally suspect that
bacteria are part of a DESIGN to maintain a viable biosphere.
So, Capitalists make a lot of noise about what they want people
to believe "justifies" 'greed is good', 'might equals right' and
so on, but are QUIET AS DEATH about ubiquitous life preserving
Biosphere Math.
For those who are now "turned off" by what appears to be another
pitch by the resident Christian to "slander" Darwin's theory,
don't worry, I will not bore you with arguments for ID. What I
will do is explain why what animals do in their predatory
behavior is 100% CONTRARY to heinous Capitalist Ideology.
Mammals AND reptiles, and any other non-human life form out
there, cannot be judged on moral grounds. A mother Grizzly Bear
that killed and ate her cubs in Alaska some years ago did not do
it for any malicious or evil reason. That Bear, like all bears
that are extremely hungry (It is an anthropomorphic mistake to
confuse that with the REASONED thought process of a human that
resorts to cannibalism when faced with starvation), did NOT USE
REASON to make that "decision".
Crocodiles and alligators are the same. Several decades ago, in
Florida, a place called the Serpentarium had some alligators in
a pit about 14 feet below the level of the spectators. A man's
four year old boy fell in the pit and an alligator promptly
chomped down on him. The father immediately jumped in the pit
and pounded on the head of the alligator while desperately
trying to open its jaws as the alligator moved into some water
to drown the child, as alligators (and crocodiles) do to stop
their prey from struggling loose by drowning them. The jaw
muscles of those critters are designed so they are easy to
close, but VERY difficult to open. The alligator was shot to
death but the child had already died. The father was unscathed
physically but scarred mentally for the rest of his life.
Animals that lose their young to a predator NEVER dwell on the
loss because they never REASON. Some say animals just move on.
That is NOT TRUE. Humans are the ones who, having REASONED out
the loss, DECIDE to move on as best they can.
There is no Mens rea in the behavior of animals, no matter how
ruthless the tooth and claw behavior they exhibit. Humans MUST
be judged on moral grounds or there is absolutely no basis for
judging socially "destructive" behavior. The Wall Street Jargon
that pretends to be akin to predatory animal behavior (e. g.
"Making a Killing") has always been a Social Darwinist CON.
Human EVIL has NOTHING in common with predatory animal behavior.
As Americans are subject to the brutal impacts of inevitable
climate change, we face a clear choice: strong government
intervention to save our lives, or a “survival of the fittest”
dystopia that 🦖 Big Oil Supporting 👿 Wall Street
promises.
For those who wonder WHY so many, otherwise intelligent people
that SHOULD know better, continue to cling to their profit over
people and planet "business model", this quote will explain the
CORE ideology they embraced SEVERAL DECADES AGO that destroyed
their ability to do Viable Biosphere Math:
September 3,, 2023
"The core traits of psychopaths — superficial charm, grandiosity
and self-importance, a need for constant stimulation, a penchant
for lying, deception, manipulation and the inability to feel
remorse or guilt — are celebrated. The virtues of empathy,
compassion and self-sacrifice, are belittled, neglected and
crushed. The professions that sustain community, such as
teaching, manual labor, the arts, journalism and nursing, are
underpaid and overworked. The professions that exploit, such as
those in high finance, Big Pharma, Big Oil and information
technology, are lavished with prestige, money and power." --
Chris Hedges
There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet
is not washed from their filthiness.
There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their
eyelids are lifted up.
There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw
teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the
needy from among men. — Proverbs 30:12-14

AGelbert COMMENT: My take on this erudite piece is welcoming the
fact that, though rather briefly, it correctly sheds light (SEE:
any port in the storm) on the root cause of the present social
decay and destruction:
"Explicit and outspoken prejudices of this kind are no longer
acceptable in many circles, yet social Darwinism lurks
everywhere and remains the ugly cornerstone of most mainstream
political thought. And it continues to underwrite the racisms
and neocolonialism of our present era."
HTML https://soberthinking.createaforum.com/gallery/soberthinking/1-040622153109-13652067.png
I hasten to add that Social Darwinism continues to underwrite a
lot more than racisms and neocoloniaism. The Hydrocarbon Fuels
Based Corporations are in-our-faces examples of Social Darwinist
"Apex Predators" in action. Their "circles" are QUITE ACCEPTING
(i.e. 'You ain't gonna work here if ya ain't FULLY into dis.')
of the Social Darwinist modus operandi:

Despite the above blatant example of how
[glow=maroon,2,300]PERVASIVE Social Darwinist Ideology[/glow] is
at present, I have become convinced that, because this morally
bankrupt ideology is so entrenched in the default conscious and
subconscious worldview of most humans, any attempt to point at
Social Darwinism as the ROOT cause of social decay and
destruction touches the REJECT BUTTON NERVE on most, otherwise
rational, people of good will. 🥺
No, I am not kidding. All of us, whether highly educated or not,
are not now, or ever, completely free from the prejudices
implanted in us by our 🙊🙉🙈 edumacation
system. No matter how much we pride ourselves in critical
thinking skills, we all have those sacred cows that we defend to
the hilt. To many here, my "Sacred Cow" is Monotheism in
general, and Christianity in particular. Most here might think,
but are (mostly) too polite to say openly, "Matthew 7:12 is all
well and good, but only when you leave your god sacred cow out
of it, can we can support it.".
Well, what is good for the goose is good for the gander. Too
many people, including most religious AND non-religious
Americans, cannot bring themselves to accept that the cancer of
Social Darwinism is what is eating our civilization alive,
always opting to single out some other, of several 'pick your
poison ones' out there, socially destructive isms. I contend
that the reason all those isms, which I firmly believe are
actually downstream byproducts of Social Darwinism, are
consistently and studiously opted for instead of fingering
Social Darwinist Ideology, is because there is a little voice in
their head that says 'might really does equal right'.
That voice, unlike the altruistic impulse we have, though many
have managed to pretend their dog ate it, is part of our dog eat
dog baser instincts, and was there thousands of years before
Darwin wrote his Evolution Theory Book.
However, Darwin's Theory of Evolution, taught as unquestionable
scientific truth, from the time people are knee high to
grasshoppers until, and after, graduate school, implanted a
megaphone app on that voice in every person's head. Most reading
this would argue till the cows come home that said Theory is
certainly NOT, as I "quixotically claim" pseudo-scientific
speculation.
No, I'm not going to bore you with DNA information, precise
energy constants and so on. How life got started is not the
issue I wish discuss.
What I am doing here is pointing out that the ENTRENCHED belief
that human BEHAVIOR is the result of Evolution Theory based
random undirected processes is what inhibts seeing Social
Darwinism as the scourge that MUST be ELIMINATED from
acceptance, at ANY LEVEL of human society, if we are to survive.

See... this was the whole problem with Gaza. They didn't take
enough time to manufacture consent!
Bibi thought that by using the 9/11 playbook, people would
globally and immediately side with Israel against Gaza. The
problem was that the attack simply wasn't flashy enough. On
9/11, we allowed a major religious building to be hit (the US
official religion is commerce, after all - and what better
representation that the two tallest buildings of commerce in the
US?) - it was photographically spectacular.
The attack on the settlements was not photographed until it was
too late. No big rockets bombing a landmark; no people falling
from buildings; no images of weeping fire-fighters covered in
ash... really, as far as manufacturing consent goes, the mission
was an utter failure.
When will they learn? You either need to keep things hidden
(Yemen, Africa), pump out a few years of propaganda and false
flag ops* (Syria, Iran, Afghanistan). It's not enough to just
arm the 'terrorists' and then use 'terrorism' as an excuse
anymore. You need to run a years long campaign from all sides
declaring that your opponents are 'commies' and of being
'Hitler' (Russia, China) - that's how you manufacture sufficient
consent!
You can't just allow a few small townships to be attacked and
then expect full-bodied global blood-thirst! Bibi and his pals
just didn't think this through.

Another reason 9/11 was so "effective" at its impact on the
propagandized masses is that PNAC, way back in 1998, decided
that the fascist takeover agenda for the USA needed another
"Pearl Harbor" in order to be successful. They KNEW 9/11 was
going to happen, at least 6 months before it happened, because
of YEARS of careful planning for the sequence of destructive
events, including that "airliner" that magically shrunk to the
size of a missle when it hit the Pentagon, the military drone
versions of airliners to crash into the two tallest WTC towers
(NOTE: they KNEW that the military drone versions of airliners
would be unable to bring the WTC towers down - the airliners
were for propaganda optics), AND obtaining the services of
Netanyahu's tight lipped Zionist Team of explosive demolition
experts to rig WTC 1, 2 AND 7 for explosive demolition. By a
strange coincidence, Netanyahu was in NYC on 9/11, the same day
the dancing Israelis were filmed joyously filming the burning
WTC towers....
