Saying that we look the other way is only a partial description of our actions.

Let me try to submit my basic description:
We all are a human kind of living species.
There is a very important observation about humans. Since the Stone Age we had everything a spicy could need for survival, reproduction and domination on the Earth. With the tools of the Stone Age we could comfortably live as species up to today.
And what we have been doing since the Stone Age? Since those times - before we became Americans or Muslims – we have been in pursuit of more than we have at any given moment.
Nothing is enough for us, we want more fur, more jewelry, another horse, bigger house, more coins, bigger SUV, - we compete, we want to dominate, to do better , we don’t stop, we never happy with what we have. In total we are not happier than humans of the ancient world were. We don’t feel more joy buying a SUV, than an ancient Roman felt buying a horse, we don’t love better, we don’t cry better, we don’t celebrate better. Only idealistic minds like yours and SySgt’s can call it a progress, and make it a goal to achieve.
It comes from the common feeling that we know more with each generation. Yes we do, but the proportion between know and unknown has been observed to be the same for all generations. It comes from a common feeling that we are on the way to some peachy, paradise like, form of our existence, when everything is going to be fine. If it is not quite fine for us it would be a lot better for our grandchildren, we think. And idealistic minds are watching from above to be the first ones to shout : land! I see land! They want to speed us up. There is no land over there. It is the same, it was the same, it will be the same, and no other observations have been made. If you say, but what if we….. I can answer: it was already tried and it did not work. But you don’t want to believe your eyes, real observations – just because you don’t like what you see.
So you go with your IDEAS. Sy Sgt talks about conditions which make a suicide bomber. This is his IDEA. Reality is: suicide rate in Egypt = 0.1 per 100000, suicide rate in Belgium = 37.3 per 100, 0000. If it was in Egypt like it is in Belgium and just one out of a 100 committed a suicide by Jihad, you would see 78 bombs going on every day!!!!!!!!!!!!
G-man asks SySgt to point an example of a state where democracy is mixed with extreme religion and SySgt says there no such state – both look at it every day, trip at it every day in the same ME, - but don’t see it because it does not fit their IDEAS, it does not fit SySgt because it is the state looking backwards and passing down traditions and it made the most progress out of all states. So it cannot be even it is. When he is asked about Turkey SySgt says : it’s a little bit to the North. That’s it? I took a glance at Turkey – my man, I bet, it would be very useful for you to research!
On opposite side ashurbanipal has an IDEA to stop us from domination and competition, from getting things we can live happily without, siding himself as an example and at the same time doing the opposite, - doing more than he needs to live happily in his life…. He rules the world through his keyboard relentlessly competing with his opponents for domination. Why does he need this in his life? What is moving him?
Hey guys, what is your attempt, using so many words to disprove observed and recorded laws of human existence, when your actions trip over your own words? What is the basic theory?
Let me introduce my understanding, my theory.
Part 1. You eat then you ****. When you eat you eat calories; then you burn calories; then you **** the rest of calories out. Calories mean energy. In order to do everything you do you have to have energy. It is simple physics applied to everything, including plants and animals. All other species have barely enough energy to burn, they do necessary things, but they don’t overdo. Humans always overdo. You have to have some excessive energy making you to do excessive things. This Excessive Energy (EE) is a sign of a Human, including a Roman, an Egiptian, an American, a Muslim and you are not an exclusion. As all other species do, we need to compete, we need to dominate but we do it in excessive way. Different humans under different situations burn EE in different ways, but in total our actions may be described as: the world is not enough. Even Billo agreed he was not different from anybody – the world is not enough for him.
Part 2. Are we good or bad? Does EE have purpose? I know but I won’t tell you because it is not about Nukes and Iran, and because of some other reasons. At this moment: EE is established. It exists.
Iranians do in order to compete and dominate. We do too.
Part 3. Individual use of EE. Individual contents of EE. EE concentrated on one goal. EE used to suppress EE. All the above are omitted here.
Just a few comments: What a beautiful creature Billo Really bursting with his EE over the keyboard, and I with him, arguing to everyone.. I have a lot what people call achievements in my life, many may be envy, - I myself never felt a bit; ok, it happened, so I feel almost nothing on the next day, again I have to do something else, and I do, I achieve and then I will die. I saw a man who made millions and gave millions for a few days in space, and what? Is he feeling like this is it, he has have enough? He already forgot about it and he is going for the next. OBL has millions of $$$ but the world is not enough for him he wants to take on US – if he can, what a fight! What a fight! And so he goes.
Part 4. American civilization. Freedom to be on everlasting pursuit of happiness. Unleashing the power of Christianity by not imposing it, but putting it in free exercise of competition with other religions and believes. Part 5. Others civilizations. Difference in EE content and vectors. Part 6. Clash of civilizations. Part 7. Which civilizations win, and which civilizations fall.
Part 4. Observation #2: a human is a social animal. Thus, humans always form an Energy Structure (ES) consisting of individual EEs.
The total Energy of the structure is not a total of all individual EEs. The total Energy is a summary of vectors of individual EEs and it also has a vector. It is very basic: vectors and summary vectors. Do I have to illustrate?
To be continued. Maybe. Maybe not.
