/// I mean, where did I get this notion that earthquakes can have multiple epicenters? I really truly thought that immense earthquakes can have 2 or 3 identifiable epicenters.

/// I searched high and low for evidence of this, and no, it would appear that I just distorted reality in an attempt to make my point.

/// I will not back down from my position that homo sapiens is one thing, and because of that, our problems are everyone's responsibility in whichever way they can contribute. Also because of that, we have an ethical imperative to cooperate and function together. I mean, everyone knows this, but sometimes we blow RIGHT past it and lose the foundation. We all want the same thing: to have a life we can enjoy and to feel safe where we live. When someone does not have that, there is an ethical imperative to help them reach it, and there are endless ways to do that.

You might notice how many complicated things work well every single day because of social harmony, like driving around with hundreds of other people who you don't know, and (in the past, and in the future) attending an event with thousands of others, and everything works out just fine. 

/// We are good at being in harmony in many places, so we know it's possible. 

/// You learn more from friends than enemies, I bet.
