Ditto the ditto. Thanks for posting this, OP. "But we got scared" pretty much sums it up.

Nothing new here, just your typical Humanist propaganda.

Not at all. It looks pretty accurate. Especially when compared to superstitious claims that a giant cosmic invisible boogie-man is floating around up in the sky somewhere calling all the shots on this one particular planet... all of them for each and every person and occurrence.

This is brilliant but he uses the term "natural enemies" a few times. If he's saying that the differences we use to separate ourselves and kill others are artificial than what are our "natural enemies"?

Exactly, its garbage. The guy has a complete lack of understanding of human psychology, evolution, religion, technology, our Malthusian reality, geopolitics, among many other things.

Its just propaganda for those people who A) Have daddy issues. And B) Find life pretty boring, and are desperate to "do something great", as to give their life meaningless lives some sense of purpose.

Yes, this was just some fortune cookie philosophy claiming to speak the truth, all while wrapping its message in feel good nonsense. The author has a poor grasp of basic human psychology.

You should research Humanism, and thanks for proving my point.
