In Large Measure, We’ve Ceased Caring About One Another

The meme here comes from a study published in Smithsonian Magazine, demonstrating that “lower” life forms take far better care of one another than do human beings.  Concern for others seems to be inherent in most life forms–just a bit less for ours.

Especially in the United States, less so in the rest of the developed world, the vast majority of those who live like kings couldn’t care less about the war-torn, hungry, and impoverished.

In fact, the idea that this planet will soon cease to support a decent quality of life for any but the wealthy is a complete snooze.
