Default Re: Capitalism, Sustainability, and the Possibility of Global Collapse

Interesting site Zynox, and I am nowhere near digesting it all yet. It sounds very familiar in a lot respects.

I think about how I would conduct myself if given, say, a ship and crew - to travel the stars, seek out new life, and pick Roddenberries, etc. If I found a planet full of monkeys being manipulated into killing each other by some other alien like myself, and wanted to do something about it, I'd take the fight to the source - not manipulate them even further.

I would not pick people who have isolated themselves and are considered crazy by the majority to deliver my offer of joining the team - you know what I mean? I'd put the shields up, and park on the lawn of the capital building, turn on the external speakers, and start laying it out.

The subterfuge that many posit is pointless, and in honor of Nimoy, illogical.

Many in the flesh, for centuries, have proven their worth; have proven that for all the collective flaws, there is collective potential. If I can figure that out, then I am sure a more enlightened trans-dimensional time-travelling being can too.

Zynox, you make me think, and for that I love you.
