@journalproject thanks for the convo. Have to go pick up my son from daycare.
Greg McVerry@journalproject Antipathy is reinforced in American creed of personal responsibility. I think???
Greg McVerry@journalproject Never thought about it in those terms. Makes sense, but infrastructure had to be created to allow suburban living
Greg McVerry@journalproject Not sure, not area of expertise or personal exp, white flight? belief in personal responsibility? no profit in it? Not sure?
Greg McVerry@journalproject Historically the conflicts are more often successful when settled without arms than with.
Greg McVerry@journalproject One could argue that antipathy is a form of taking...or simply ignorance. Ill let you go read #focus
Greg McVerryFinishing up my #LRA11 research proposal. Need to move onto study group proposal.
Greg McVerry@journalproject often wonder if humanity begins when our behaviors must overcome our nature. Makes biological sense to take from others.
Greg McVerry@journalproject ha too funny wondering how we got to same thought almsot same time
Greg McVerry@journalproject I also think its simplistic to think all motives are explicit. Some forms of racism almost inherent.
Greg McVerry@journalproject Good question. Wish I knew. I am amazed at how prevalent racist language still is in popular discourse.
Greg McVerry@journalproject Of course that is on the hypothesis that racism and large scale slavery didnt begin until agricultural revolution.
Greg McVerry@journalproject No but racism began as tool to allow for inequality in agragarian society that left and compounded inequality in modern era
Greg McVerry@journalproject While we must fight against racism and modern day slavery its a sad wonder to think that it was norm for 10,000 years

Greg McVerry@journalproject Could be that to truly overcome inequity a utopian dream of foresaking possesion and desire would be required. #thejediway
Greg McVerry@journalproject No, think inequality exists as a byproduct of ability to overcome laws of scarcity found in ecology.
