THE VIRUS OF PROGRESS #1

My suggestion is that the West’s desire for progress, growth and increase has brought about the very diseases that have become its scourge … I suggest that sickness that sweeps through a population has its origin not so much in viruses but in ideas. A virus is information, a segment of DNA that enters into the cells of a healthy body and instructs them to operate in a different way…the conditions under which human immune systems become debilitated are the direct result of social conditions. Disease is a manifestation of human thought because it is ideas, worldviews, and beliefs that create the conditions in which a society can be riddled with disease, strife and poverty or can continue in health and harmony.
