I would like to think (as I think you imply) that a more sophisticated 
"economy" or "ecology" or ??? would resolve the apparent/percieved/real 
differences that have "the rest of us" finding them scary as hell... 
just as *they* are (as often implied and reported) Skeered of Muslims 
(or at least the extremists) and other not-White not-Xtian peoples 
because *THEY* are percieved (by them) to be either fundamentally flawed 
(Cain vs Abel nonsense, Original Sin?... ???) or not living in a 
_sophisticated enough_ economy/ecology...

too many of my Trumpian friends are NOT coming from a position of 
*simple* ignorance or oversimplification...  I don't know if I can 
attribute their misperceptions to be as simple as a lack of sophistication?

My Very Good Science Mind (channeling Trump here) has me believing that 
an "arms race" is both inevitable and (therefore) "good" for global 
evolution of complexity/life/??? but my (possibly flawed) Heart has me 
cringing at the thought of an accelerating arms race.

I suppose a thread titled "bah!" can't be bent beyond the pale 
really...  though I'm sure I've helped to bend the others a bit much of 
late.
