I want to embrace this message.
Still, I am trained to think a certain way; taught to say to myself, whenever reading a scientific paper, "what is missing here?".
The data is solid, the interpretation sound, yet what are they missing. There is always something missing. That is the fun, excitement, ego trip that is at the heart of science. I am testing my skills against the best.
I turn the statement on its head.
Corporations can't abandon people. Only people can abandon corporations. Yet, it is hard to abandon the oil corporation, the technology corporation, and the food corporation.
I like my creature comforts. I don't want to go back. For me in a way, "it is just food". Bio-food oxymoron or GM-food space-farmed.

We are talking about me here. The average Jo. Much as I fancy the idea of spinning our cotton and weaving our own clothes, it's not going to happen. Why?
I like to play games. Drink soda and smoke. I form minicorporals within the soul that animates this living democracy.

And so?

Throughout our evolution there have been bottlenecks. Throughout our evolution, violence has been the ultimate arbiter of disputes. At these bottlenecks there has been intense selective pressure to attenuate aggression within the group.
At the heart, aggression fights with cooperation. We cannot survive as individuals but we like to fight because that is also about survival.
Some have tried going "Into the Wild" as an individual.

Let's forget this romanticism, which is just ayn Hollywood romanticism. Average Jo doesn't want to wander into the wilderness, especially not in winter time! Let's just send an interlaced Brian, and when he fails, we still have an e-minicorporal of experiences from a Brainstorm that released his soul.

Hardcore science and critical thinking devolves into movie legacy and science fiction. That is how the average Jo's mind works.
The attenuation of aggression at the bottlenecks of sequential ice age explains a lot.
It explains why we lost our fur and hide our ovulation.
It explains the wiring of a host of brain networks.
It postulates possible emergent behaviors within new group.
To this point, attentuation. Pass this point... transformation.
//If you have a hyperactive child, put him at the blackboard helping to keep score for the class during the game instead of beating him into conformity.
What am I talking about?!
Do worry. Just keep moving and doing. Nothing to see here.
Do the right thing, but try not to kill anymore.
Try to keep your group from killing anyone.
Do what you think is right, but don't ask the average Jo what is right, he doesn't know. He is busy doing and speaking of himself in the third person.
Living democracy.
At the center, every corporation says they exist first to increase the quality of life for everyone, then comes profit.
As the spiritualist MLK once said, "All we say to America is, "Be true to what you said on paper."
I say the same of corporate American. Be true to what you say in your Mission Statement.
Yet the allure of profit leads the ship astray.
"what is this?"
"dried yellow fruit"
"what is this other yellow thing then? Is it better?"
"Same, same. But different."
At least we have placebo and longitudinal studies... right?
What's a better way to live our democracy?
Are we improving our quality of life or just changing it?
I don't know.
Like I said, I'm just an average Jo.
Actually, I'm average squared; JoJo.
