Group Identities


Love this little cartoon, the message is so clear, i.e. things that divide people like religions and nationalities are, on balance, harmful and (importantly) man-made! We can all agree that there are some positives in having group identities, like in-group co-operation and shared purposes but IMO we should treat them with a high degree of skepticism, their historical rap isn't a good one. Perhaps it's time to stand on our own two homo-sapiens feet for a change and evaluate the world using objective and rational methods, ditch these legacy crutches.
