There have been many times in my life I have felt rage at my uselessness and powerlessness to do anything about something major happening. But not quite like this one. I canโt stop checking the news and usually I donโt care to receive news a day or two late. I wish I could be there.
Reminding everyone to take care of your mental health. I know we all canโt help but get emotionally involved in major events, but there is a limit to that.
All settlers are hostile enemy combatants. If a settler brings his child to a stolen home he is using that child as a human shield.
A recent study about jellyfish found that even species that only have about a thousand neurons are capable of conceptualizing past experiences and adapting their behavior. These are animals that barely have a brain, and even they are entirely aware that they have a life and wish to live it comfortably. I like jellyfish, the little baby ones you can see at an aquarium are cute.
A human being has 100 billion neurons. We are like galaxies compared to that jellyfish. We hold emergent mental processes in our heads that can conceive of things beyond our own lives, beyond our own times, beyond time itself. And there are other humans willing to snuff all of that out by just firing a rocket, just to keep from feeling a little discomfort, to avoid some guilt.
