Anti-humanism

An anti-human philosophy is one that subjugates man to something other than human needs. For religion, it's subjugation to an imaginary sky god. For capitalism, it's subjugation to money.

Since most governments are influenced (or even defined by) one the the monotheistic religions, they inherit the profound anti-humanism of that respective religion.

Why can't the board of directors and officers of corporations be duty bound to 'improve human conditions', rather than increasing profits? Why can't the goal of religions be to 'improve human conditions' rather than preparing us for an imaginary future beyond death?

It makes no sense. We spend most of our lives oiling a perpetual motion machine. Our time is wasted. If we spent all our time on human needs, then everyone would be clothed, sheltered, and fed, and we would all work half as much as we do today. We have the means to do this, just not the will.

The only way to trick the public into this tragedy is by conning us into believing in one of the many choices of anti-humanism available today.

Make your choice.
