So, a New Year is on the horizon.
This doesn't matter, and yet, at the same time, as we know, everything matters.
An important factor for us Darwinian atheists, in our short lives and in our literate homage to Mr Albert Camus, the suavest and coolest smoking existentialist we have known lately, involves making something matter, for ourselves and those we care about. To create Meaning. That's what humans can do. Good laws, good times, good improvements to how things are, for all of us.A better-off society.
There are many things that are indeed still getting better. Mostly due to China in terms of alleviating world poverty etc now that everyone else has actually stopped doing that.
And to remember
Not to hate and be greedy etc, not to wage genocide on anyone, anyone at all. That'd be good. Gosh, wouldn't that be good?
That some people actively choose the genocide of poor folk just trying to live on their own land, well, that's awful. They are very sick people who do do that and they must be stopped, and seriously punished, for sure.
There used to be laws against genocide, even in our own time.
Remember?
Remember Human Reason? It had its limits but it was generally a good thing. There was goodness, bright thought, industrious compromise, intense negotiation, etc, and even some kindness to it.
I liked Human Reason.
I miss it.
