The biggest success in the history of humankind has unfortunately to be credited to the few. It relates to their ability to understand the real nature of human beings and their ability to use that to manipulate anyone they need to by carefully thought systems of imaginery stories, aka nations, religions, monetary system, ideologies etc. In other words their success in using various methods to** actually convince the vast majority of us about how different we are and what NEEDS to be done in order to FIX that**.
But for some funny reason the ones talking are usually not the ones putting their lives at risk for it. Its interesting the fact that words >subjective meaning> imaginery stories>cognition define so many physical actions and events.
A man gets killed about something he believed in. Based on Aristotele's Ethos, that man is ethical, he gave his life for something he believed in. But was that story real? Or even better, can there ever be an imaginery story that is an objective reality?
