*philosophy

A sense of what people deserve is just another way of articulating the notion of karma which is just superstition.

Adding video to channels (Philosophy) - requested by RedSky.

we *can* work together, the problem is that most of the time we don't *want* to work together. Humanity is still very much ego driven and selfish. We'd still rather compete than cooperate

How do you convince someone who has "made it" that in all probability, they were merely lucky. How many success stories can be boiled down to basically right place, right time. I'm not saying don't work hard..quite the opposite....hard work/skill combined with luck is what usually equals success. If you only have one or the other, things won't move forward.

most of the atrocities committed by humans in our history have usually been committed by people who thought they were "deserving" or thought the universe was on their side" when bzzt...wrong...please try again. The fact that they were defeated kinda proves that they weren't

but yet..try to convince someone that they are not "the chosen" "the pre-ordained" and you'll likely have better success talking to a brick wall.

Just the other day I had to work with a programmer who thought his coding was "divine providence" (his words)

When the day comes when we can successfully and consistently compartmentalize and/or shut off our ego when needed, humanity is going to leap forward.
