“Christians are supposed to love each other. Communists are supposed to share bonds with all proletarians and other communists.

“Although a government study found that men's health was much worse than women's health or the health of any minority group, headlines around the country read: 'Minorities Face Large Health Care Gap.' They did not say: 'Men Face Large Health Care Gap.' Why? Because we associate the sacrifice of men's lives with the saving of the rest of us, and this association leads us to carry in our unconscious an incentive not to care about men living longer.” MenCountryGovernmentCareFacesFoundStudySacrificeGroupsSavingHealth CareUnconsciousMinoritiesGapsAssociationAssociatesIncentivesHeadlinesMinority GroupsWomen's Health Author:Warren Farrell

“An idea is only an idea if it causes unease, debate and reflection. By that standard, Thomas Homer-Dixon's concept of an 'ingenuity gap' is truly a new idea. I can think of no other new concept that so fully condenses all of the challenges we face as a human civilization than the 'ingenuity gap'. Homer-Dixon has found a way to unite all of our concerns about economics, war, population growth, complexity, etc. under a single heading.

There is no racial enlightenment for these groups, which are huge.
