The stairs to the truth are solid and easily navigated.
They are not however fashionable,
no shiny railing, small elegant lights or glass barriers.
And they don’t move.
Not only do we have to walk them by ourselves,
they can be slippery in a storm.
Usch.
No wonder they are so seldom used.

She was crying.
I just kept walking.
It was embarrassing.”

System Humanity is an explanation of how we have evolved from primates in an extraordinary manner to become part of a new system that has never before been seen on the earth.It explains the nature of humanity.
This is the first new theory of humanity since Darwin. I challenge you to find fault with it or to show a better explanation. In academic terms, I present my theory for peer review. As I am a PhA (philosopher autodidact) my peers are anyone with common sense and the courage to think for themselves.
Unfortunately, many people are not interested in humanity and all too few think for themselves.
If you are interested in humanity and trust your natural intelligence, go to BenTarZ
and buy System Humanity.
(You can download the first 21 pages free.)
If you can show that this concept of humanity doesn’t hold true or can refer to a better analysis of humanity, I’ll return your money and you may keep the book.
If you think it’s a valid theory, I’ll send you the extended .pdf text version free upon request.
(You can download the first 2+ chapters free in any case.)
Whatever you think of the book, you will probably appreciate the photos and enjoy the humor.

A metal rose doesn’t whither and die. Rust nearly improves its appearance. It has no scent, but it won’t stick you with thorns and requires no care or gentle handling.
A rusty rose could symbolize our times. Easy, handy, and artificial. Industrial quality art copying reality. And dependable. None of the messy surprises that life comes with.
Now if we could only get it to reproduce itself…

There are two problems with nuclear weapons and threats of war: The rulers and the citizens.
The rulers
will (initially) gain political points and harvest enormous profits by employing nuclear weapons, and they are dumber than dry grass in all questions not related to the accumulation of money and to the maintaining their positions of power.
The citizens
are hypnotized with entertainment and other diversions and believe that their rulers act rationally.
I’m worried. The North Atlantic Empire has been using tiny nuclear weapons in the form of uranium tipped missiles for years. The results are devastating. They cause sharp increases in cancer frequency and the occurrence of deformed babies—not only in the areas hit by these weapons, but in soldiers returning home from the theaters of war as well.
The rulers have been effective in hiding the consequences of their tiny nuclear (DU)weapons from the citizens. I’m nearly inclined to accept this because there is no sight so horrible as a deformed baby. None! And there is nothing so terrifying as rulers who regard cancer and deformed babies as acceptable ”collateral damage”.
“America is a lost land where nuclear weapons
are in the hands of those who are concerned only with their own power.”

I think I’m going crazy.
I don’t mind, but it goes so slowly.
It’s no privilege to be sane in a crazy world.
You don’t think this world is crazy?
That’s the craziest thing I’ve heard.

– What would the world be like without humans?
– Green, wild and beautiful.
– Are you saying that the world would be better without humans?
– No! I’m saying it would be greener, wilder and more beautiful.
– You’re joking.
– You think a beautiful world is a joke?
– You know what I mean.
– No, I don’t. I haven’t a clue.
– I mean that it would be sad if there were no humans in the world.
– There were no humans in the world for 99,99% of the world’s existence. Was it a sad world?
– Whose side are you on?
– The world’s.
– Can’t there be a beautiful world with humans?
– I guess that’s possible. I’m all for it. But if humans can’t promote a beautiful world, I don’t see what they are good for.
– They can do other things.
– Like what?
– They can create works of art.
– For whom?
– What do you mean?
– Will the dawn appreciate their works of art? Will the wind stop a second to take a look? Will the rivers flow differently or the forest develop otherwise because of these works?
– You are very hard on humanity.
– Me? I’m nothing. The world on the other hand will put up with just so much.
– And then?
– Then it’s time for a greener, wilder and more beautiful world.

There’s a shadow in my heart
so I can’t come out to play.
But I need something to go
with the salt of my tears.
A piece of hope, perhaps?
Or a slice apathy
to hide the bitterness of my empathy?
I’ll just crawl into a corner of life
and wait for a cloud to erase my shadow.

They (who are blind to everything but profits)
are beating the drums of war.
Again.
Only this time,
they’re using nuclear drum sticks.
And they ain’t got no rhythm.
“Those who use nuclear weapons,
any kind for any reason,
are working for the Devil.”

Barbara Tuchman, one of the most celebrated American historians of the 1900s, showed in The March of Folly that governments—from ancient Greece to our times—implement policies that seriously damage their own interests. What is more, they do this in spite of available alternatives.
Unfortunately, most people believe that today’s governments act or will act rationally, or at the least not act in a way that harms their own interests. History says that that is a naive belief. Even more unfortunately, the folly of governments strikes the citizens as severely as the fools in control.
The first Christians, who I like to refer to as raw Christians, recognized the foolishness and irrationality of the Roman rulers and turned their backs on the empire. They took responsibility for their own well-being. They grew in rational concern for each other and for the people around them as the empire crumbled – pursuing foolish policies.
Sometimes the most foolish policy of all is the one that does nothing.

We can see how Twisty is turning a problem around in her mind. She’s imagining it from a familiar perspective.
What, she asks herself, would I do if a gang of heavily armed men circled my house practicing using their powerful weapons against my family?
Why is she thinking so foolishly? Why doesn’t she simply accept the analysis of the PR-pros working for the heavily armed men. They don’t tell her what to do, but state emphatically that if she says that she will defend herself and retaliate against any attacks by the heavily armed men, she would be acting like a crazed beast.
But Twisty insists on wasting her time thinking for herself. There’s simply no reasoning with her foolishness.

Note to those who are not foolish thinkers: This is satire. The USA practiced flying their B-52 and B-2 (Stealth-)bombers around North Korea’s territory. When North Korea threatened retaliation against any eventual strikes, the Western media declared NK to be a dictatorial monster.
