Yes humanity is stupid, brutal and selfish but the reasons are far more interesting than you might imagine. People today are told there are no absolutes; what is is right. The lack of moral absolutes drives the problem.

Learning about humanity through literature and the arts gives one a sense of reality that has not change in five millennia. How we deal with humanity can be based on law or compassion. I would suggest that exercising compassion leaves you in a better position than law. I would suggest you can only gain compassion or empathy through an energetic application learning in areas of humanity.

I have been a technologist for 49 years. I currently work as a software developer and have done so for the past 20 years. You can be a technologist and a human being should you choose to do so.

I've watched 40 years of Humanity vanish in 7.
Liberals hate.
Social Justice Warriors hate.
Democratic Socialists hate.
It's pathological altruism. By all means, wrap yourself in the swaddlings of "humanity" and tell yourself that 5,000 years of literature will somehow proof you against socialist murder...

A BA has become a search for a justification for abortion, utopian communism, and the eradication of non-believers.

I just finished a biography of Mao. 70,000,000 killed. Liberal Arts majors only see that he failed to create a true secular equality. Not that he killed.

The question is whether you are willing to hate back, at least enough to protect yourself.
