The Pale Blue Dot

I am a global citizen who is concerned with the environment and the urgent need for coherent global governance.

I am deeply conscious that we are engaged in a global debate as a global people about how we want our world to be. I want to be heard, and I want to listen.

Most of all I want all humans to be considered part of the same ingroup, subject to the same laws, agreed among global citizens, fairly applied. This is the logical trend of a planetary human society.

To leverage the golden rule, applied for the first time to ALL humans equally.

These aspirational virtues will however, not preclude me from calling you a fuckwit, engaging in some outgroup demonisation myself, and generally behaving in a way I despise, when sufficiently provoked. Alas ones head has this relentless tendency to creep quietly up ones arse, if one is not paying adequate attention.

If you notice that this has happened, and I've missed it, feel free to point it out. Thanks in advance.
