Returning from Ukraine again days ago, I had ample time to think, largely about human irrationality. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine made absolutely no sense. Russia’s continuing sadistic brutality, in its war on innocent Ukrainian civilians, makes absolutely no sense.
What Hamas did to Israelis made no sense. What Israel has done to Palestinians makes no sense. What Arabs are doing to Blacks in Darfur makes no sense. What Myanmar is doing to Rohingya makes no sense. Violence within Mexico makes no sense. And more.
And hundreds of years of violence within our own country, against Native Americans and Blacks, continues, making no sense.
Supposedly, humans are the superior species. I need more proof of that than comparatively few exceptional individuals who have the vision, the compassion, the intelligence, the courage, and the perseverance to actively set the upper end of the bell curve of human potential.
