"The belief in a competitive society preys on our natural gravitation toward group inclusion, exacerbating our divisive propensity to seek "in" and "out" groups, ultimately setting the stage for bigotry"

     Peter Joseph.

[Thoughts on social Darwinism and current affairs] 

“The very foundation of market theory and practice reinforces a social view that makes any notion of equality or abundance almost inconceivable and the gravitation toward dominance and explotation virtually inevitable”

     Peter Joseph

"When it comes to secular mythology, there is perhaps no better case study than the nation-state and its tribal politics. Loyalty to a country, its people, and its methods, and shared opposition to its decreed enemies, is facilitated by a catalogue of symbols, stories, ceremonies, revisionist history, and other elements that serve the interests of social cohesion and status quo support. If you've ever had that looming feeling of being brainwashed when singing your country's national anthem or pledging allegiance as a child, you are familiar with such ceremonial reinforcement reminiscent of religion itself."
