how do you slay the beast?
its in us, its our nature. slaying the beast would eventually mean slaying a part of who we are, and im not all that sure it would be a good thing to do.
i don't even think its possible to slay the beast, its only possible to, more or less, control it. if i take it to extreme, not everyone can be a Buddhist monk, but more importantly not everyone want to be a Buddhist monk.
admitting to our nature is great step forward. not towards the ubermensch, but towards finding solutions to the problems the beast made us to face.
wtf does that mean?
well, instead of everyone becoming a monk, we could admit to being hairless monkeys, admit to our limits, and try to work with that knowledge in mind, try to find a consensus which would conform both, our nature and the nature.
education, knowledge, technology.
