“For all its material advantages, the sedentary life has left us edgy, unfulfilled. Even after 400 generations in villages and cities, we haven’t forgotten. The open road still softly calls, like a nearly forgotten song of childhood. We invest far-off places with a certain romance. This appeal, I suspect, has been meticulously crafted by natural selection as an essential element in our survival. Long summers, mild winters, rich harvests, plentiful game—none of them lasts forever. It is beyond our powers to predict the future. Catastrophic events have a way of sneaking up on us, of catching us unaware. Your own life, or your band’s, or even your species’ might be owed to a restless few—drawn, by a craving they can hardly articulate or understand, to undiscovered lands and new worlds.
Herman Melville, in Moby Dick, spoke for wanderers in all epochs and meridians: “I am tormented with an everlasting itch for things remote. I love to sail forbidden seas…”
Maybe it’s a little early. Maybe the time is not quite yet. But those other worlds— promising untold opportunities—beckon.
Nice try, but no. Employees don't feed employers.
They have the power to work someplace else.
We should all aspire to be fentanyl dropping, pregnant women torturing street trash.
We should all aspire to accomplish great things like AOC when she ...uh she did ...um ...drop Adderall and start a podcast about putting on makeup! Yeah! That podcast alone employs 50,000 engineers and has saved or created 100,000,000 jobs a month, at least.
None of those terms, nor their arbitrary meanings, account for people who are in a similar financial or socio-economic situation, and yet don't commit car-jackings, rape, robbery, white collar crime, or shootings. Neither does it account for people in the exact same socio-economic situation moving up and thriving instead of victimizing families in their communities.
"intergenerational stress"
What exactly does this mean in the context of one's behavior?
That the car-jacker who murdered a mother and her baby in order to escape prison bares a reduced responsibility for the crime? That at some point 200 to 10,000 years ago, some ill that befell someone with a similar skin color somehow absolves them of responsibility, or lessens the magnitude of their atrocity?
Crime, like racism, isn't limited to just one race. I never implied otherwise.
It is never the race that causes people to commit crime. Crime occurs in all races, globally.
And in ever single case, it is the individual's choice to commit crime.
What happened to their great-great-grandfather is irrelevant.
That really says it all.
