hap0206: "me, I choose self reliance -- those who depend on others for survival will perish"

correct me if I am wrong but doesn't the Bible say "the meek will inherit the earth"

hap .. am not "sorry to break this news to you" as you should have known .. as a matter of fact i think
you probably do know, that we all do understand the "so cruel" .. sometimes "survival of the fittest" you
espouse .. and, also, i think you most probably know that ALL of us here do know "no one knows the odds,
or the best course to choose" which you, for some reason seem to believe is so me special wisdom of yours.

In "2000 years from now" i'm guessing the situation will be that "our protogeny will" NOT always "know"
"the best course to choose" and hope that they will still understand the role that the invasion of Iraq by
GWB did in fact serve to strengthen the terroist position against the USA and against the rest of the world.

You "choose self reliance" .. YET YOU deny it to others (the invasion mentioned above, one simple example) --

Re your "those who depend on others for survival will perish" well, think about it .. the world is ever more inclusive particularly
from an economic and even a military perspective .. so that no one today is really as self reliant as you seem to suggest ..

Yes .. in the end "fact .. survival of the fittest" .. nothing new, though will point out to you that
your position there is in conflict with your "choose self reliance" .. yeah, i pointed that out above ..

hap, yes, all the words in quotes are yours. Am going for a walk now.

so cruel

it is survival of the fittest

no one knows the odds, or the best course to choose

but 2000 years from now

our protogeny will know


That sounds like a great Jack London rendition of Darwin's evolutionary concept. Didn't know you were an evolutionist. (i realize you meant progeny instead of "protogeny")

Those who organize and cooperate with each other will survive. The lone wolves will not last, this is the basic concept of civilization that you seem to have missed in your deep thinking about the subject.
