One observation that I have made which goes a long way toward explaining what is wrong with the world is this: the strong blame the weak.
If physical tasks are not performed it is blamed upon weakness. If mental problems are not solved - it must be the result of stupidity. If relationships fail to be formed the fault lies with the emotionally weaker partner - since they could not cause the stronger to make an emotional connection.
Because the strong are the strong, they have gotten away with shifting the blame to weakness all throughout history; how could the weak stop them?
The time has come to stop shifting the blame to those who are helpless to prevent that shift.
If the problems of the world are the fault of the weak and the stupid, then I submit that we - the strong and intelligent - need to start blaming clams for all of humanity's problems; after all, clams are far weaker and less intelligent than any human I have ever met. If weakness and stupidity are the cause of the world's problems - surely then clams are far more to blame than any person!
Hopefully, the basic absurdity of blaming the weak is apparent. If a bridge collapses in St. Louis the fault most likely lies with the intelligent person who designed the bridge in the first place. Who's fault would it be? Perhaps a child playing in China?
The designer says the fault lies with the stupidity of the workman who built the bridge - or the shoddy workmanship in the parts. But this is a lie: the designer knew that the workman on the bridge weren't engineers - why didn't the designer take that into account while doing the design? Why wasn't the quality of the material checked beforehand?
Perhaps the blame could be placed at the feet of the bureaucrats who rode roughshod over the engineers objections to placing the bridge struts in quick sand. The strength of the governing body is far greater than that of a designer - here is an appropriate place to shift blame. If it is to be shifted, then the blame lies at the feet of the strongest and most capable in the bureaucracy: they were derelict in their duty.
Women have long blamed men for relationship problems - but it is women who study relationships and who are emotionally strong. Most of the problems of the world ARE the fault of men - who are physically, and intellectually stronger than women. However, the blame for most relationship problems lies with women; this is the area of expertise in which women are stronger.
There is only one case in which it is appropriate to blame the weak and the sensitive - and that is in the case of a socially adept psychopath. Such people are sensitive to the cause of trouble and thus are very powerful at creating it.
But even in that case the blame ultimately lies with the intelligent and the honorable: why weren't the S.A.P.s detected and dealt with?
If mathematics is screwed up, the fault lies with the most brilliant mathematical minds - not with someone who is unable to correct the problems. If the world is a screwed up place - and it is - then the fault lies at the feet of those who have the knowledge and power to change it.
Until the best, the brightest, and the strongest, accept full responsibility for the problems they have failed to correct - there is little chance of the world becoming a better place in which to live.
