celebrating the best of human intelligence
Genuine democracies are inclusive, inviting every human adult to participate in the political process.
Fake democracies are exclusive, allowing only select groups such as rich, white men to participate because they cannot comprehend how a poor black women could be just as smart or smarter.

Good leaders recognize that even janitors and dishwashers have intimate knowledge of the business.
Bad leaders believe they alone know what is best for everyone and how everyone should do their job.

Empathy is perhaps the greatest cognitive challenge because it takes far more intelligence to understand what it is like to be a bat, cat, rat or a gnat than is necessary to kill them.
After all, lizards have the brains to kill them.

A legendary character once said the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
Therefore, the needs of students outweigh the needs of millionaires.
- 58 million millionaires vs 1.2 to 1.3 billion primary and secondary students.

It is said the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
Therefore, the needs of malnourished children exceed the needs of billionaires.
- 3028 billionaires vs 45 million starving children.

Capitalists dream of a world ruled by the endless pursuit of ever more wealth.
Humanists dream of a world dedicated to human flourishing; where everyone has clean air, water, food, a cozy bed, tons of love, premium education and health care.

Humane economies use a percentage of profits to help the weakest and poorest people address their misfortunes so they can flourish alongside the richest and strongest.
Inhumane economies divert all profits to the richest and strongest, leaving the weak and poor to perish.

It takes greater intelligence to understand what it is like to be a bat than is necessary to kill a bat, just as it takes greater intelligence to understand what it is like inside another's head than is necessary to assault them physically or verbally.

Compassionate societies want to know what women need so they want children.
Callous societies don't care what women need to bear and raise a child.
Cruel societies demonize women who don't want children, criminalize mothers who are imperfect and force women impregnated by rapists to give birth.

The greatest love imaginable loves the people I cherish most dearly as well as the people I absolutely despise. I know not how or why, only that it does.
The worst love possible only loves the people I care about – damn the rest to eternal torture and trauma.
November 3, 2025 at 1:28 PM
The greatest love imaginable loves religious people, irreligious anti-religious people without exception or excuses.
The worst love loves only a hundred thousand souls from this sect or that sect, piously condemning billions upon billions of souls to an eternity of horrendous torture.
November 3, 2025 at 1:19 PM
The purest love imaginable loves everyone: plumbers, proctologists, plasterers, philosophers, prison officers and politicians.
The worst love conceivable loves only privileged groups: rich, white men and damn the rest.
November 3, 2025 at 1:15 PM
The finest love imaginable loves everyone: liberals, conservatives, moderates, communists, democrats, monarchists, socialists, capitalists, - 10, 20, 30 billion people and counting.
The worst love possible loves only a million like minded souls - condemning everyone else to eternal damnation.
November 3, 2025 at 1:07 PM
The purest love imaginable loves heterosexuals, homosexuals, bisexuals, transsexuals, asexuals, queers, 2spirits or everyone else.
The worst love possible loves only heterosexual people, condemning the rest to eternal torture and trauma.
November 3, 2025 at 1:03 PM
The greatest love imaginable loves everyone: women, men, intersex, black, white, brown, albino, rich, poor, middle class - 8 billion humans and counting;
The worst love possible loves a select few: rich white men and to hell with the rest of humankind.
November 3, 2025 at 1:00 PM
Loving societies adore heterosexuals, homosexuals, bisexuals, transsexuals, transgenders, queers, 2spirits and all others without equivocation.
Hateful societies adore heterosexual people, condemning the rest to eternal damnation.

those who can least afford a 'treat' deserve it the most because they are surviving in a world where the odds are stacked against them, a world that likes to think it is so much better than the wild animals that quietly abandon their struggling peers;
November 1, 2025 at 12:37 PM
Loving societies cherish black people, white people, brown people and albino people equally.
Hateful societies cherish rich white people and expect the rest of humankind to serve the rich.

It takes more intelligence to help others than is necessary to viciously assault them. After all, the mighty seawater crocodile has the cognitive sophistication to savagely assault another crocodile though they cannot help another.

Good leaders recognize the rich and powerful can hire dozens of professionals to defend their interests while the poor and powerless have only themselves.
Bad leaders help the rich and powerful by robbing the poor and powerless.

Love says, "You made a mistake. It is not the end of the world. You will learn from this experience and become smarter and wiser as a result."
Hate says, "You are a moron, the dumbest jackass on earth?"
November 1, 2025 at 12:17 PM
Human intelligence gave us Good Vibrations, Bohemian Rhapsody, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Respect, Stairway to Heaven, millions of incredible tunes to sooth us, move us, sway us, inspire us, and bring us to our knees.

It takes greater intelligence to solicit consent than to force yourself on someone. Consider most male animals, regardless of brain size or sophistication, forcefully attempt to mate with females (Wikipedia - sexual coercion).
October 31, 2025 at 12:46 PM
Love says you are a wonderful human being.
Hate says you are a disgusting, vile beast.

Good leaders inspire hope.
Bad leaders stoke fear.
Good leaders see the greatness in others.
Poor leaders see the greatness in themselves.
Great leaders elevate their people beginning with the humblest.
Terrible leaders elevate themselves.
