Sorry for my delayed response, I did have a much more detailed response, banging on as always about how solar is the solution to everything, but why would it make any difference me going over it again with you, if you thought it even significant, you would have mentioned it by now I guess :)

Thanks for your thoughtful article though, I also like the articles of David S too.

I would just add one thing; does it occur that we are using our human logic to enhance and weaponise our worst animal emotions, and that this is something religions always warned about, in the only way they could, by appealing to us as we were previously, less developed?

In my opinion, we are so far down that road now, of weaponising our worst animal emotions, that much of the time, we can’t see simple logic, and understand the significance of it.

The logic should come first, and then the emotion, if any, it seems to me.

It should not be the other way round, but it is, more often than not.

Logic says to me competition is a symptom, rather than a root cause.
