I fear for Caitlin Johnston. She is the Socrates of our time. Just as Socrates development of personality was shaped by an abusive spouse, so was Johnston's. She is like a Vulcan among us asking pertinent questions. Please do not mistake me, I find no fault with her reasoning. The virtue of her argument is self evident in each case. Her reasoning shines the light of truth and so exposes the falseness that would otherwise hide in obscurity.
We humans are in a long period of transition from omnivorous apes to conscious self-governing apes. Some aspects of our collective personality must be selected against. Our militarism for example. In order to emerge as reasonable inhabitants of this planet we must give-up the armies, navies, air-forces and all attendant weaponry.
We need to accept the reasoning of Caitlin Johnston and all like her. She must prevail.
