"ye shall be as gods" is our mythic root of the problem. A piece of mythos
I've contemplated ever since equating SOM with objectivism and guarding with
garden - the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil - is not a bad
thing in itself - even in the story it was part of a complete whole - a
pronounced "good" - that was obviously desirable.
But there's an importance to context that is missed by short-sighted
humanity, and thus, the evils we must deal with with intellectualism run
amok.
Ya know, sometimes I think that all the answers are right there in front of
humanity, but humanity doesn't deserve 'em. The MoQ, for instance.
So screw 'em.
Here's one just for you, Ron
