QuoteBig oil firms knew of dire effects of fossil fuels as early as 1950s, memos show

The roots of morality lie in applying logos to natural social relations.  This requires thought and is a cultural activity.  Natural social relationships are biological based on instinct.  Without culture biological relations dominate.

Tribal relations have the biological basis.  Successful application of logos to tribal instincts requires extensive cultural conditioning.  Tribal roots are deep.  Difficult to adjust.

Tribal relations say do not give a fuck about anyone but you and yours.  And the morality of certain traditions says everyone is in your tribe.  Problem solved.

But the going from A to B is not a thing that is automatic here.  Common morality worships biology over logos.  The morality of the useless eater.  Logos is in short supply.  Defining everyone as a member of the tribe is an enlightened tradition and not the default.

Consider MAGA and think about dropping the second A.  Make America Great does not have strong power without the 'Again'.  The 'Again' represents existing tribal membership.  It gives warm fuzzies to the circle-jerking tribe and fucks everyone else.  Without 'Again' people feel naked and alone.

The big oil tribe took care of itself and fucked future generations.  This is normal human behavior.

Logos is in short supply.
