i believe that all humans are the same.
they all have the same brain, which perceives the world the same way, with possibilities limited by the size and computational capacity of the brain.
an “individual” human lives in a world of “infinite” possibilities, but can only imagine a handful.
somewhere between one and about two hundred.
these one to two hundred possibilities are called “stories” and are recycled endlessly though the individual human’s brain during its brief existence.
*
humans are living creatures competing for space and resources, both against other humans and against other living creatures.
as humans on earth eliminate more and more other living creatures, the competition between human groups increases.
all humans belong to tribes.
some tribes are larger than others.
a few humans effectively belong to tribes of one person - themselves.
but even these probably belong to an imaginary tribe in their heads.
but a tribe can not be too small or too large.
there is not much advantage in belonging to a small tribe of a few people as it can not exert much influence on the world of billions of people.
but there is also not much advantage of belonging to a “tribe” of a large segment of the human race - like “the workers” or “the oppressed” or “women” - as any possible advantage gained is diluted by the size of the group.
large tribes, if temporarily successful, break up into smaller tribes to compete against each other.
*
life is war.
if “war” sounds too dramatic, substitute “competition” or “conflict”.
*
no one can predict the future. prediction is based on the extrapolation of what is known, not of what is unknown.
and what is unknown, even if not “infinite”, is certainly substantial, and probably incomprehensible to the human brain.
if it can be predicted, it will not happen. i,e, in a “distant” (100 or more years?) future.
you might correctly predict (guess?) a dip in the stock market next week.
anyway, that is the way i see it.
to be continued?
