"Helen Caldicott is the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize and a world renowned campaigner against nuclear weapons. She says that our species is mentally sick
The whole society is sick1. We are in the grip of a death wish. She points out that 1 in 25 people are sociopaths with no moral conscience and these are the people who rise to the top; who are in charge. Is she right? Have we really become insane? There is good reason to believe so. By insane behaviour I am referring to avoidable behaviour which will result in our own destruction and would be seen as such if we were in our right minds.
There are many reasons for the belief that much of our behaviour has become insane. Here are some of them."

(65,616 posts)Why do you think 99% of all known species are now extinct? They just decided to give up and pack it in one day? Like we will be the 1% that somehow survives against all known rules of nature, just because we shit in toilets and eat with a spork?
No no no...doesn't work like that. Nature is not cruel, nature is brutal and there is a difference. We will succumb to nature just like all prior species before us. Nothing to do with mental illness.
