A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.

With the rise of the Machiavellian psychology, all of this changed. Social functions were no longer in the driver's seat. Personal power and competitive prowess became the name of the game, and money/possessions became the tools that made it possible to quantify individual status over and above social obligations. We live in a society in which money relations define the capacity to take rather than exchange. There's very little social context implied. That's why fiat money systems are accepted despite their lack of sustainability. No one wants social/physical constraints on self-aggrandizement. With few exceptions, those in extreme poverty, given the opportunity, would become every bit as self-aggrandizing as the Donald Trumps of the world. The social fabric, as a structural reality one is born into and defines one's role in life, is shredded, and any attempt at rectifying social inequality must take this fact into account. There's no going back.
After the flood, man was bought back to the stone age for a period, but just two later Nimrod had already built an empire at Babel. I don't expect things will change while Satan is god of this world.
The reference to the flood and whatever else the Old Testament tries to sell is absolute nonsense. I'm not saying there never was a flood and people were never remanded to a stone age existence. The bible is perhaps the most illegitimate resource of history of all books of history, including the current texts bandied about in public schools.
And the Lord did this. And God said that. And the Prophet went into the tent, and when he came out he told us all what to do according to the will of god. I read it. I wrote it down, and then I read it.
I'm in love! I'm flying to Italy.
