That seems to be humanity in a nutshell - fuck you, got mine.

Most of us are not altruistic enough to put other people ahead of us and ours. Self > family > clan > tribe > race > everybody else. However you choose to segment your identity up and what characteristics you base it upon, that's generally the hierarchy of fucks you give about other people.

That's a problem that needs to called attention to, critizied and addressed but not accepted.

It's a hard problem we've been working on for at least a couple thousand years. When we find the universal solution, the philosophers can pack it in.

Meanwhile, I've got to live as best I can in the world as it exists, rather than as I might ideally like it. There's a lot of smaller, more manageable windmills out there.
