  1. Interesting thesis, but you omit the historical underpinnings of what you call "envy." Facts matter. The injustice of today is the result of historical injustice which permeates the culture. Law enforcement is only one example of the institutionalized racism in the U.S. Social justice has nothing to do with making people more equal. It is about righting the wrongs of the past which are so deeply rooted in today. It is not about lifting people up or keeping people down. It is not revenge. It is correcting an insipid wrong that persists due to the existing power structure which all the European philosophers you quote helped erect.

  3. Well done - your thesis is playing out all around us - wise up people - throw away your smart technology and walk in the woods to find and secure your humanity.

  4.  @MoeGreensRightEye  I like your response, but I am following this on my pc. Don't own a phone of any kind. I work on my pc through the day and check email , YouTube through it. I get up from my desk and do not take it with me when I hike and explore western Colorado, where I live. Just saying.
