Were human beings the first animals to domestic ourselves?

Are human beings on a path to, not just modernity, by mediocrity? Will our undoing be a drift to a center we we no longer grow, no longer change, where infants run the asylum?

People are really only equal under god. Our current cultural struggle is that people want to see humans as equal between each other. The idea we should kneecap the strong is captured in the classic short story Harrison Bergeron, where everyone is made equal by forced handicaps (weights to slow down the strong, masks for the beautiful).

I remember leaving Christianity in the early 2000s. One of the things that pushed me away were my Christian friends who still supported Bush. The ties between the Church and Republicans was ill warranted and undeserved.

I’m not sure religion is the way back. I think back to this post I read:

..but I do know a lot of believers, and many in the secular world who have been saying, walking on water makes about as much sense as transgenderism; maybe that’s not so bad?

These are the questions that went through my head as I read that.
