guns, germs, steel!
Its a value judgment. A strange social Darwinism that deserves mentioning. We tend to use science, physics, logic to justify our economic stronghold and social hierarchy. We tend to shift history so that the truth about the matter is not obvious. Tis is pointed out in Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond. The book is an elaborate account of the truth about history
It’s all about greed. It’s been about super eugenics since colonization started happening.
Our society has become klepto- we just want to steal and feed ourselves. because we think we have the right. We think we should be proud of our conquests because we think that it makes us stronger.
Ultimately the explanation of the current international order, does not rely on humanity itself, but on the resources that societies have. In my case here, that's exactly the point. The world leaders are taking away from others what does not belong to them. This can relate to our study in class of traditional knowledge. Finally, now there are steps that are being taken that will allow information development on knowledge to give back to the people.
