what is moral high ground
I doh waste my time lookin' fuh wat does not exist! moral high ground..or what man create out of thin air and say god say dat, so we must follow god.
the man say murder is wrong..god say dat too, follow god...while nobody murder like he. the man say murder is unethical, the depriving of a human of their life..while all time he popping people fuh murder, behind bars, electric chair or fruit cocktail, injection. and when we look closely we see all dem who get pop is ordinary like you and me.. and we get pop not because we guilty but because we poor.
so the man doh take the moral high ground..he occupy it..is he make it. he always there and he is not moral at all..according to the coordinates of the high ground he himself create, out of thin air.
and when we look closer we find that there is another morality, one that was subsumed under the moral one the man make out of thin air..the real one set by nature that say survival is all..that survival is leaned from what we discover about reality and put to use to make things better all the time. that we live because we do that..and do that because we live. so morality is a changing evolving thing, wedded to what we know of life on any day we still here in existence..if we learn enough in time to save we life.
learn enuff quickly because what we know is not all that changes. the whole environment changes and all that we don't know and what we don't know is 99% of all that exist..and that lack of knowledge expands all the time. like we up a shit creek eh..on we moral high ground
on that basis I don't see who is not a fool clever or not..or fool period.. in the life. we never know enuff to make us smart. we all are fools to a greater or lesser extent in this life. to prove my point take a look at the world. if humanity is not on its deathbed I have no idea what terminal illness is. and we have not gotten to this point due to human brilliance but by pure naked stupidity.
I MAPOUI THE CLEVER FOOL DID NOT PUT US THERE..OR HERE. IF ANYTHING I DID MY BEST TO WARN OF THE DANGER
I see the word as a whole and all people from the one, same root. but critically I see us all in a boat, sailing a vast universal sea, facing the same problems and the and best response we have, the one that gives us our best chance in nature is collective, cooperative human social movement. we have not learned that yet..and how to get there.
if a man have a plan for one spot in the sea of trouble..of danger really for it to be positive it should be exemplary, yuh know, for others to see and follow its success. given the nature of life all separation is silly ultimately..near and far. human life will be collective, cooperative or it will be toast..and we are almost there...toast.
so you make no sense to me save you are collective, exemplary, even if to get there your plan is one singular area of focus Jamaica....Jamaica, west indies the world...yuh know, like Mau Tse Tung..set up shop in an area and did there what he wanted to do for the whole world, and let the people see it. when they saw it they saw it was good, better, and wanted it too.
not so long ago Portia was bawlin' !!! Jamaica debt to GDP ratio was like 150%. National bankruptcy, national financial default....weyyyyyyyy!
I can assure you that it has not gotten better in the meantime. and strangely, Barbados is the same state or worse. same threat..national financial failure. look around some more and see in our home region only Trinidad is solvent due to revenues from oil and gas.
and when we do look dat is not all we see. we see that financial phenomena is one kind of collective movement as well, global, the result of the work of a financial mafia that has corralled the world and is bleeding it to death.
that proves that no mater which way the world turns in whatever forms of activity, even crooked and murderous, it is a collective, a whole..all are affected, involved. no matter how it looks to the contrary that is the way it is. there can be and will be no real separation. sooner or later the collectivity asserts itself wholly even if for a time the connection had become strained, hostile. the connection never ends, never breaks just changes emotional tone as we go so far.
and there is reason/cause for the emotional tone changes but they too can end and change to the cause of peace and prosperity and cooperation. the hostile exploitative is coming to an end, must end if we are to live. we must take the moral high ground created out of thing air and consign it back from whence it came..to thin air...and replace it with the real ground which we should not have left in the first place. the real ground..nature, earth natural environment and the ever evolving coordinates these establish for life/survival, that humans must learn, become facile in dealing with, living in... or die, go extinct
so what are you talking about then..what sovereignty you talking about then? you have a plan to set Jamaica on the right course
in the world
go right ahead. and you will find that the harder you work and the more success you achieve that Jamaica will be more in the world than ever. just like they come for reggae they will come for whatever you do well, creatively, sweetly. same way you will find that must accommadate the world, make way and room, incorporate, relate. so I encourage your Jamaica focus in that way, in that sense. and I hope that is the way you are headed.
but you don't talk that way. you talk Nazism and that pisses me off. it pisses off other west indian black people for in our souls we know we are a collective and even if heard obliquely, that separatist-superior-nationalist talk from black people bothers other black people even when we not fully conscious at the moment. we hear it and something nags all to hell. it is that kind of talk.
black people are at the root..or are the root.. of all that is human.
ALL. we are the world.
our current pioneering spirit must be to lead the world back to a whole and to indefinite survival, inclusive. that is at one and the same time our responsibility and group/class interest.
we all..the human species..will not survive unless we make cooperative society, replacing the exploitative principle now driving social movement. that is the responsibility of black people most of all, for we are the most exposed of all human groups. to live we must revolutionise society... save the human species by re-establishing the truth of existence and living by that truth. and that truth means cooperation, inclusion, peace..not the opposite of that
