Proto-humans
Thomas Jefferson said the tree of liberty must be watered with blood from time to time. He believed a revolution was necessary each generation. Many apologists claim each election is a revolution, so a bloody one is not necessary.
Jefferson saw something rotten in human nature. Studies conducted after the Second World War by scholars examining the brutal actions of Nazis revealed human characteristics that were alarming to a civilized world.
Hermann Goering said a Nazi lurks inside all of us. The studies confirmed Goering’s assertion.
Human nature seems to break down into three levels: Human, proto-human and sub-human. The bulk of the population falls into the proto-human category. The proto-humans live the life preprogrammed by nature. They follow the rules or the herd. They want an alpha leader and put loyalty to the herd above everything else, even their own lives. Studies showed that proto-humans tend to subordinate their own conscience to that of the herd or group. This group tends to allow emotion to dominate reason. Consequently, this group is manipulated easily.
The sub-humans are the lowest forms of life. They include Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. In them, emotion suffocates reason and the conscience has atrophied. They are sociopaths incapable of charity, remorse, sympathy or empathy. They are the most despicable and loathsome people. They make up about 2% of the American people.
The proto-humans, which includes about 90% of Americans, are manipulated easily by the despicables. just by appealing to their emotional side. The proto-humans will go fight and die or get mutilated in the wars manufactured by the despicables, and believe they are doing great things. They supported the Veitnam War and the War in Iraq. They will support any future war no matter how questionable the justifications. They claim to be patriotic, but their propensity to follow an alpha leader renders them unpatriotic. They are jingoists, not patriots. They can make the same mistakes over and over.
The proto-humans have a dormant conscience that can be cultivated and activated elevating them to a human level. The transformation from proto-human to human can take five to ten years. In his book "Conservatives without Conscience," John Dean cites figures that show one-fourth of Americans are dumb as rocks and could never rise to the human level.
Thus, 73% of Americans, and probably higher numbers in other nations, can be elevated to a civilized, enlightened, righteous human being. At that level, manipulation is nearly impossible. Humans are moral by conviction. Proto-humans can be moral only when threatened with punishment. Sub-humans are incapable of moral behavior. There is hope, but not much.
