"What needs to be done is obvious and simple."

Is it simple enough to summarize in a couple of sentences?

"Is it simple enough to summarize in a couple of sentences?"

The jump in world view is too great. I am not claiming gnostic enlightenment here but just wishing I weren't so poor a speaker and writer.

The European - North American "culture" is seeing human nature incorrectly. We are all individually caught up in a belief system that does not mirror reality. The results
appall the Chinese, Russians, Moslems, etc. I am not saying that the Chinese, Russians, Moslems, etc. are less self deluding than Americans.

Each "culture" is bound together by shared viewpoints, stories about the past and reality, what are called "myths" these days. The Western myths are resulting in the suicide of Europe now and in the "liberal" desire to embrace those who will destroy us. These beliefs must be abandoned.

People do not abandon belief through reason but only through experience. One quote to this effect is "People cannot be reasoned out of a belief they were not reasoned into." As Mark Twain said, "What people don't know don't hurt them. What hurts them is what they do know what ain't so."
