34765Y3117 The Human Spark? There is no doubt.....
Q&@
THAT HOMO SAPIENS
IS THE MOST POWERFUL SPECIES IN THE WORLD?
Homo sapiens also likes to think that it enjoys a superior moral status, and that human life
has much greater value than the lives of pigs, elephants or wolves! This is less obvious. Does mìght
still máke right? Is human life more precious than porcine life simply because the human collective is
more powerful than the pig collective? The United States is far mightier than Afghanistan; does this imply
that American lives have greater intrinsic value than Afghan lives? In practice, American lives ARE more
valued! Far more money ìs invested in the education, health and safety of the average American thàn of the average
Afghan?! Killing a so-called 'American citizen' creates a far greater international outcry than killing an 'Afghan citizen'!?
Yet it is generally accepted that this is no more than an unjust result of the geopolitical balance of power, gunpowder &
opium power? Afghanistan may have far less dronebone clout than the USA, yet the life of a child in the mountains of Tora
Bora is considered every bit as sacred as the life of a child in Beverly, complete with their 'pedosexuals' & "Me-tootraditions"!
In contrast, when we privilege human children over piglets, we want to believe that this reflects something deeper than
the ecological balance of power? We want to believe that human lives really are superior in some fundamental way.........
we Sapiens love telling ourselves that we enjoy some magical quality that not only accounts for our
immense power, but also gives moral justification for our privileged status.
What is this unique human spark? Lots of hot money, our police- & armyforces,
too much fucking dangerous food, fatal alcohol and drugs, fashionable clothes and
foolish advertisements? The original traditional monotheist answer is that
only Sapiens have 'eteral souls'! Mor Chai Asih thinks we produce
too many useless things and empty bullshittalk
worldwide and keep spreading our
shit all óver
'our planet'
