RE: The biological goal of the human mind

Jay,

The "inability" or "unwillingness" of people to "see" or understand and
accept as truth your, and others, predicted end to the earth's carrying
capacity, you assert, is "Obviously...genetic."  If a ruling class
silences or diminishes dissenting or threatening voices, especially those
which predict the collapse of that system, then is this the result of
genetics or politics, or do you see the two as synonymous?
