lol just making it clear what i'm responding to.
socio-economic darwinism is just a term i use because other people will 'get it'. throw it away i don't care. but i believe in the idea. i believe in cause and effect. i believe in responsibility and consequence.
if i choose to to work for a company that exists on shaky footing, then it goes under, well, time to move on. even if i just happened to get laid off. move on. that's life. it's not fair, it's not nice, and it's not something that we can make user friendly.
there will always be horror and brutality in the world. it will be here till we as a race get sick of it and change. until then there will always be one more thing to fix, one more country to save, one more WAR TO WAGE until we are left wrecked and ruined also.
so we become byzantium. we build the best and brightest civilisation we can and survive the economic craziness and the terror. we try to lead by example. we try to show the world what we all have the capacity to become.
and for a parting shot; how can we ever hope to fix anything when our own houses are in such disarray? hipocrisy much?
(btw guys great thread)
