Years ago, a term was constantly on the lips of people in Marxist circles to describe the United States. America was called “the heart of the beast”, and identified as such as the center of capitalism. But, the Marxist colorful imagery doesn’t portray today’s reality at all. Capitalism doesn’t have a conscience even less a heart, it has become a hydra, a giant octopus, with no heart, many twisted brains and countless tentacles reaching across the planet.

It is going to be somewhat difficult to build a society of empathy until people realize that many of our government officials are motivated by psychopathic personalities: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MZCHjGkTPg&feature=related
ReplyDeleteAgree with Fiannan. Until we have isolated and removed the psychopathic genome, such a society could not survive. Either that, or teach every child Psychopathy 101 (probably the greatest lesson young children could possibly learn).
ReplyDeleteIf everyone is able to recognise the psychopath, he/she is rendered impotent.
You bet! 99% of psycopathic individuals are on the street. They seem to gravitate to government,banking and business. Biblar you are right. It is defective DNA!
ReplyDeleteI'm game. I don't like the sound of what I just wrote. Moral, ethic, and empathy. That sounds better.
