Squeers, that is all very well, but of course you know what the human
race landed up doing to Socrates.
I have this habit of judging people by what they do, rather then what
they say and what I see, which includes you, is this mass of contradictions, which is how most people live their lives.
But yes indeed, it makes some feel better about themselves, to
pontificate to the rest of us, that is a human foible too.
So I try to remain a realist, amongst all this self righteous
pontification and I find that I can learn even more about humanity
by reading up about primatology, rather then philosophy and other favoured
subjects at the arts dept of your local university.
If you want a relatively peaceful, matriarchal society, try bonobo
culture. They all have lots of easy going sex and the males thus
have nothing to fight about, or perhaps they are simply too buggered and content with life to bother :)
As to human excess, its virtually impossible to draw an objective
line in the sand, to define it. I will claim that people like you,
who produce a whole tribe of kids, are ruining the planet with excess,
for we can't keep adding a quarter of a million extra mouths each
day without huge environmental consequences.
You could well claim that my Korg Oasys is extravegant, even though
it produces some of the most amazing sounds that I have ever heard.
So we each see the world from our perspective.
Like morality, it is simply opinion.
