  1. Very good article, Mickey.  I have not yet read all of Jensen’s work, but what I have read so far leads me to believe that he is one of the great writers of our time.
    Some of the things that you point out here remind me of a game/discussion I used to have a very long time ago when I was raising my daughter. We would try to name as many things as we could that should be UNINVENTED. We always started with nuclear power plants.

  2. Human beings are animals who kill each other over and over again.  It has been going on for thousands of years.  It is not going to stop.

    ‘Civilisation’ will remain through thick and thin.

    It makes no difference where that ‘civilization’ has its beginnings, Mesopotamia, Europe, Australia, Africa, wherever, war always takes place.

    It will not change.

    Some would believe that their religion makes the difference, but it doesn’t.

    Political beliefs are no different.

    There is no such thing as ‘peace.’
