What I Believe: About What Matters Most to the Human Animal

If you want to know the truth about government and big company activities, instead of believing what you read in the government- and big company-influenced press, you must “follow the money.”

That’s what they say. By “they,” I mean those that believe that world politics – including geopolitical relations and even war – is controlled by a small group of very rich individuals. And there is no doubt that many wealthy people use their wealth to try to influence political and social outcomes.

But if you want to know what really shapes the world, in the larger context, it’s not the money. It’s something much bigger, much stronger, and much less easy to understand. I’m talking about culture.

Some people will lie and steal for money, but very few will commit murder for it. However, every person that feels they are a good person (even down deep) will be happy to kill and die to preserve their culture.
