Post-Tribal Thinking & Action

The ancient idea of tribes - people joining together for survival - still plays out on Earth today; now the tribes are marked by ethnic group labels, race labels, religion labels, national boundary labels. All such labels are generally temporary (potent in any one form for a couple of generations at most) & political in purpose (created & maintained by self-appointed leaders in order to draw power, support from a group of people in order to achieve certain goals - including that of general survival of the group). The maintenance of tribes in modern guises still leads to competition, & sometimes war, among the tribes, and blocks positive & useful ideas invented & in use in one part of the world from reaching individuals in another part, in another tribe, in the world.

Long term, a better option - better than maintaining perpetual conflict generated by idea of separate tribes - is to promote the uniqueness & value of each individual & also to promote the general & ultimate group that all individuals belong to - the human race.

Shifting fully from a tribal competition based planet to a post-tribal, pro-individual planet where being human is elevated above allegiances to local tribes may take a while - but the work can be done anytime, and by any individual. Above all you are an individual human being, and beneath all the political, time & place created layers of identity that you deal with everyday lies your ultimate group membership identity - that of being a part of humanity. Those two items - reflecting on how best to be an excellent individual & an excellent human - of value & use to all of humanity - & basing your actions on that perspective - should help you lead a positive life & move the planet towards a Post-Tribal & better state of being.

Democratic peace theory

From an interesting Wikipedia page that I stumbled on to:

"The democratic peace theory, liberal peace theory,[1] or simply the democratic peace is a theory and related empirical research in international relations, political science, and philosophy which holds that democracies — usually, liberal democracies — never or almost never go to war with one another."

Read the rest of the Democratic peace theory article here.

All problems can be solved, and if not...

1) All problems (including that of death) can be solved OR they have already been solved in some form during the 200,000 or so years we humans have been living on this planet, and or, 2) if a completely original problem shows up we can enthusiastically engage the problem and attempt to solve it; most likely we will succeed sooner or later.

That's a positive human attitude.
