Deep Thoughts For Monday
I know its safer to stay shallow in online discussions. But my sister went and posted this clip this morning and it really made sense to me. It was something I needed to hear as I've been reading a human history book that kind of treat 'ideals' as big lies we tell ourselves to justify our actions.
Anyway, IMO the big ethical dilemna we face in human culture isn't whether we say Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas. Its about how much we value our society vs ourselves. When we opt out of a big part of human society, there are consequences we don't often consider. Like how much our survival as a species depends on cultural wisdom. Don't eat that mushroom! And where does cultural wisdom come from?
Without idealists, for one thing we wouldn't have teachers. I think that was my sister's point when she posted it. The rest of this rambling is mine.
