Zoology classifies ‘human’ as a sub-species of ape. ‘Animal‘ and ‘tribal.’
Machiavelli documented tribal behavior as motivated and governed by expedience, causing a great uproar among those who hoped for the day when all behavior would be moral and therefore civilized.
Clanging our swords upon the armor of tribal expedience produces noise. It cannot compete with the inhumanity of tribal expedience for attention nor will it have any impact.
Tribal-animal = psychopathy. Mental, social, behavioral disorder characterized by lack of remorse or empathy for those victimized.
Change can only come when ‘human’ retreats from its self-defining delusion: that something better than remorseless expedience is to be expected from tribal animal. When it confronts the reality of who it is and commits to changing who it is before wasting more effort on changing what it does. What a thing does is what it is, and what it is is what it does. Being is doing. Both ideas integrated into one: function.
We won’t make a dent on the provocations, injustices, and outrages of human beasts until we (1) acknowledge and accept that we’re beasts; (2) acknowledge and accept that we’ll continue to behave like beasts until we stop being beasts; and (3) get serious about what it takes to further Sapiens’ evolution toward that end. To evolve beyond dominion over a planet of the apes.
Through personal self-evaluation — philosophical (metaphysical), psychological, theological, and scientific. With guidance aided by sixth sense. The task to which my website and essays are dedicated. Of which Broadway and off-Broadway intellect, conscience, and culture are terminally unaware.
So long as we continue to rely exclusively on the sensory perception of tribal embodiments we will see only what’s in front of our noses. And if that’s all we see, WE WILL CONTINUE TO ATTACK IT. REMORSELESSLY AND WITHOUT EMPATHY. Beasts that we are.
