Do you support the Zeitgeist Movement?

How about we swear fealty to the ants, en masse, and let them direct our every action from now on? They seem to have their act together.

Bees can be kind of cool.  They make honey after all.  Fire ants are evil.

Fortunately

The official site states exactly what the Wiki does. The same authors probably wrote both documents.

And don't worry, I don't think the Sun will be killing you personally.

I can get behind this:

Philosophy or political ideology can't be so absolute and unyielding that it ignores reality or practicality.  I haven't heard from any of young libertarians that respect that.

Good point.  Wisdom does often come from experience.  Experience is no guarantee but it helps.

I had never heard of this movement before today either.  It actually sounds like something I would support, however it is also completely unworkable.  We are still too aggressive, selfish, greedy, hateful, competitive and paranoid a species to ever live in the kind of harmony that this movement suggests.  I would like to say we're getting to the point where we could enjoy such a life, but after 3+ billion years of evolution, we haven't really evolved that much beyond the single- celled organisms that began life on this planet, where our survival is based on out-competing others for resources.  My hopes are slim that humanity will ever rise above its origins to actually deserve a place in the universe.

Oh dear, my misanthropy is showing through.
