American interpretation
I doubt the sincerity
of what this "might be."
You got that right. Just exercising a line of thought.
If the Soviet economy was indestructible then it's only because people
weren't. You have made my point about mad scientists, and now philosophers
and other intellectuals too, considering the world holocaust that way
overshadows the Nazi atrocities. It is interesting that it is always so
fashionable to beat Hitler, the Monster, over and over while Stalin, Uncle
Joe, and many others of his kind keeps getting a free pass.
What makes you think you wouldn't be so easily expendable as well. There
would be no need for those who demoralize and destabilize after the crisis
unless to maintain the crisis away from home. KGB made that policy. Notice
that the "Labor Union" was the Government, Employer, Management and owned
all the money, food, housing too. Call it State Capitalism or Imperialism.
If the US and the Whole World economies and environment are destroyed, it
will be because of everyone trying to get something for nothing. Not a good
thing for anyone to get something for nothing, nor to be envious.

My beef is not specifically with religion, but with the arrogant who
seek to re-faith everything in the world to their own dogma. I won't
expand on "including" American society and world climate because that
is already explicit in "everything in the world" unless, of course,
there is some divine perspective that combines American society and
the world climate that is unshared with "everything in the world." Is
science such a threat that hysterical pulpit pounders should
excommunicate people for embracing an irrational Pi, or because
Einstein was a Jew just as much as Jesus was?
Oh to have the insight of Joseph or Daniel.
Or any number of others....
Let us take "Global Warming" for an example. The environmental storm

In light of the frame built around this picture, I doubt the sincerity

if it can be done without harming the economy.
The only indestructible economy ran behind the iron curtain for 70
years. In the same span of time the western economy suffered many
plunges that wrecked it and the Commies smiled in their infinite
wisdom. So much for shedding tears over harming an economy.
Why? If you will
notice, the major environmental damage around the world exists in
impoverished nations where the population lives for the day at the
expense
of the future.
The glorification of consumption and celebration of decadence in the
enriched nations has easily eclipsed their plight.
It is a good thing to be wary for the environment if you can
afford the luxury of it.
Doing nothing is vastly more expensive. The luxury card is
narcissistic.
Climate change might be a good thing if we were
completely aware of all of the causes and results of it.
Another limp sincerity in that "might be."
But all
indications are, if the human race can't even reduce wasteful and
hazardous
use of resources, any idea of intervention beyond that could only risk
overcorrecting since anything that can actually be set into motion seems
to
have to progress to near disaster before we change course.
The Bible is a great study of the folly of man, and the only Hope for
salvation.
If the Qur'an has no hope then the gospels have been discarded in that
statement. The Torah, likewise. The Bhagavad Gita possibly
end-arounds these dismissals - but easily speaks to the issues.
