Publisher's Synopsis
Our tragedy and opportunity as a whole tells us that we are caught with the hardwired instincts of primeval lethal savagery naturally embedded in predatory beasts, which we in fact are, in a world now demanding a true institutionalization of ethics as soon as possible, if we wish to survive as a civilized species - and this in spite of the patina we put on the predatory civilizations we support or examine. Indeed, armed with weapons of mass destruction combined sadly with the continuing basic reactions of immature societal mindsets of adolescent savages, we must now insist on living in states of sanity, kindness and bliss based on sound ethics-otherwise all is lost. Among the subjects addressed are: ∙ The extraordinary planetary-wide anomaly of purposely refusing to understand the world as it really is;∙ The reasons behind our human history of wars, genocides, and other violent confrontations of every kind;∙ The demotion of women in nearly all cultures and their treatment a servant class, chattel, or slaves in the course of history to this day;∙ The creation and nurturing of pools of poor and other dependent people to serve the minority in charge at the lowest possible costs - the most economical being slavery;∙ The lack of 'Inalienable Individual Rights' in the majority of nations and cultures now and in the course of history;∙ The totalitarianism philosophy and politics of religion generally and global religion specifically, which despite all claims to the contrary denies all 'Inalienable Individual Rights', openly lies and manipulates 'The Indoctrinated', 'The Weak', 'The Lazy', 'The Unaware', 'The Scared", "The Insecure", etc., while stealing from the society in which they are located through guilt, naivety, ignorance, and through means of tax exemptions and other privileges in order to maintain their existence.Yet, regardless of cultures, we generally refuse to recognize these realities. It is as if the entire process never took place, and/or was not presently occurring. s if we, members of the Western tradition, aware at least in part of what is taking place, now openly adopt a politically-correct belief system and attitude to legitimize our nasty behavior, while the rest of civilizations don't even bother with or don't even need such a new philosophy of justification - their old one being sufficient in their mind to meet each of their culturally established eschatological ends
