I’m Against War

Published October 31, 2023 by Nan Mykel

 

 

All war.  Whenever, wherever, whyever.  Both sides, all sides.

We need to start attending to our genetic out-of-date blueprints that may have been useful so the earliest primitive man could survive, but…

We have the ability to think, figure, plan, speak and write now.  From my point of view, we need our work to be done not with  our version of monetary economics, power and competition but with an international halt-fire and focus on rational problem-solving.  Perhaps it’s a pipe dream, but better and more humane, clear-minded and rational than what the world has unloosed on itself, unloosed in the world, despoiled all.  No end in sight, save “armageddon” in 2050.

Rationality, in all languages.  Back to the drawingboard with intellectual capacity  available but rusty.  A.I. needs to be re-formatted, with different values imbedded, but it’s the humans who need it most urgently.

A United World, not just Nations.  No more sports competitions; more barn raising bees.  A long period of engineering climate change, and helping refugees everywhere.

The Earth is large and there is space for everyone.  Sharing is the magical word, and mutual respect.  Elevating “our civilization,”  “our race,”  “my family” and “me” over others  has  led us to the current deadly impass, in my opinion.  Pollyanna thinking?  What do you suggest?
