I categorize the possibilities by where they lead, so there's 2. If we continue acting like animals, it must lead to a small group of the new kind of Tigers (which &quot;eat you by Evolving systems that move valuable things away from you and toward themselves&quot;) dominating the rest. If we create more of the behaviors that caused Humans to rise above tigers in the food chain, which means to start acting like a group of 7 billion people, we can rise above the new kind of Tigers the same way. The problem is most Humans are lower than a small group of Humans in the food chain, and that is clearly not going to be allowed to continue. http://spacecollective.org/BenRayfield/7157/We-Evolve-Evolution http://spacecollective.org/BenRayfield/7157/We-Evolve-Evolution http://spacecollective.org/BenRayfield/7157/We-Evolve-Evolution Mon, 07 Nov 2011 23:03:31 +0000 BenRayfield 7157 <a href="http://spacecollective.org/superconcepts">superconcepts</a> wrote:<br /><br />This is actually a competition between *3* ideologies, the two you mention, (a hierarchy where a small group of people controls everything, or a group of 7 billion equals), and a group of 7 billion <b>competitors </b>- the one that libertarians strive for. <br /> <br /> But i would add that this third option will always inevitably end up as the first one, as power <i>always </i>conglomerates and monopolizes. <br /> <br /> Networks are truly the solution. http://spacecollective.org/BenRayfield/7157/We-Evolve-Evolution
