Aphorism 56

Mankind invented many naive ideals and “isims” (capitalism, socialism, communism, Judaism) that all failed because a few always find a way to exploit the many under the guise of “isims”. 

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness

Mankind only has two options.

Live by the cold, efficient, pure laws of nature and accept the consequences, or evolve into a cooperative, humane, and intelligent species that takes control of its own destiny.  The middle ground simply isn’t sustainable under our current constructs.

Extinction feeds off compromise.
