House and feed the world: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 17:42, 22 October 2023

We could house and feed the world, if that's what we really wanted to do.

And it will be — it will be something we want to do.

Despite all the savagery around us, we are moving in the right direction, historically:

Larger and larger units of people who are "us", and in principle must be protected as co-equals.

Greater and greater consensus that war, slavery, killing, and rape are savage barbaric traditions which we must consciously outgrow and prohibit by force.

Today one neighborhood, tomorrow America, someday the world.

We could; we should; we must.

Anything less is less than human.
