Thoughts on 9/11
9/11 illustrates the failure of humanity to think critically and rise above fallacious reasoning. The terrorists hold onto the delusion that their religion is true, despite the evidence against it, while the U.S. holds onto the delusion that committing war crime after war crime leads to justice. As an American, my criticisms mean that I care and want the U.S. to improve and rise above animalistic “reasoning.” Certainly, war is required in some situations, which I will not articulate here. However, I will say that humanity needs to work with many nations around the world to bring terrorists and war criminals to justice. This can be done without mass bloodshed if nations focus on particular people and collaboratively bring culprits to justice in an international court of law. In rememberance of those who lost their lives on 9/11, my hope is for humanity to pursue reason over emotive reaction, collaboration over individualism, and critical thinking over religious zealotry.
http://youtu.be/nAMlF3KO1vs I dont agree with everything but I share the general sentiment.
it is not about bringing war criminals and terrorists to justice; it’s about power and control (of the oil) and big money. Perhaps you have plenty of financial investments and perhaps you live very well. Look at your own situation – how do you know what is delusional? Perhaps your own logic never expands beyond your comfort zone.
I absolutely agree that it is also about power, control, and big money. Policies that only protect or work for the rich and powerful should not be in place. I know what is delusional based on evidence alone. This allows me to step outside of my biases and situation to analyze the facts. This is why I arrive at certain conclusions. In this case, I conclude that religious extremists, who base life decisions on a book that has minimal historical evidence and any other evidence for being a divine mandate, are most likely misled. What do you presume my own logic and comfort zone is?
