thanks for the read, it's enlightening.
it does sound like a kind of evolution to me. i kinda commissurate with the native americans when the europeans came ashore with their ideology, technology, and enhanced ability to adapt to the environment.
fighting ideologies is a tough business. it's like looking at a stump, and seeing the various fungal colonies becoming established there. over a period of years, some colonies advance, and some colonies get walled off.
ultimately the stump is consumed, but the exact winning fungi is difficult to define. a lot of them played an important role in the process.
ideology vs. ideology, what a concept.
i hope i never have to kill another five-fingered human because of his ideology?
