This is something we all should know, be continually aware of, and share with each other. Along with one other thing - that we have excellent intuitive skills that we can use to help each other. When we try to override these, and think only of ourselves - we are in big trouble.
This is highlighted by an article in today's Washington Post. WWI was caused by people who could not live together peacefully.
Now that we have the Computer to help us in our thinking, we should make sure it is helping us to work together. Having articles. like the one above, is not enough - the Computer should make it clear that we are one species. and we can work together easily.
As it is working now, it is only making things worse - and this seems to suit most people. When they use their Phone, it makes them feel better. If it showed them the world as it really is, they would feel worse. At least at first, but once they got over that initial shock, they would see how people could work together.
We have the technology to do this, with excellent computer translations, and the ability to include diverse points of view. All we lack is the willpower to do this.
I have just discovered that that the handheld format, with its limited screen size, and lack of multiple tabs. is not adequate for viewing serious books, I have switched to the Kindle for PC, that lets me do some serious viewing. I now have a whole library of Kindle books on my PC, many of them, I did not know about before!
One of these is on Nautilus, and it deals with the origin of Language in the Unconscious! I took the time to read it, and I hope you will too.
