Well you know I suppose the definition of "rule" is subjective. In my opinion humans do "rule" the planet. And that's the first thing wrong with our race. We have a desire to have authority and supremacy over everyone/thing. When instead, our efforts would be better spent working together for the greater good. Why rule anything? I have worms in my house that get treated as well as humans. And everyone gives back just a little bit
. Imagine what 7 billion people working together could accomplish!
While I agree with your sentiment, there is nothing that scares me more than people talking about "common good" or "working together for the greater good," etc.
Individual liberty=greatest good. If you and I are free to do as we please; the only limits on our liberty being that we cannot infringe on the rights of anyone else, THAT is the greater good.
7 billion people working together sounds like a slave labor camp to me.
7 billion people living in liberty, ORGANICALLY working together---or not--- for whatever they please----never infringing on the rights of another----is what I'd like to see.
I'm all about the individual. The "community" can go to hell and disappear....I wish it would! One individual has just as much importance, and no more or no less in the way of rights as a mob, community or a majority.
If you want to improve your life....seek to be free, with all the wonder and responsibility that comes with freedom. If you want to serve others, teach them to be free.
But PLEASE....no democracy at gunpoint, no social nanny state, no dictators, no scumbag "leaders" or presidents trying to spearhead an effort to get people "working together." No laws to protect me from myself, no taking what I earn and giving it to someone without my permission.
The needs of the many? No such thing! Groups do not, cannot and never have had rights. Only individuals have rights. Group rights are the double-speak language of domination and control. I reject all such talk.
BTW, I know you didn't say any of that....I'm just ranting a bit.
Leave people alone and let them live their lives!
