JUSTICE, IGNORANCE & the BIOLOGICAL BASIS of BEHAVIOR

We use our MORAL and ETHICAL JUDGMENTS to protect ourselves --- BUT those JUDGMENTS look very different across time ----

• often based on NEW INFORMATION, or
• MORE THOROUGHLY INTEGRATING EXISTING INFORMATION.

Some of this is INTEGRATING the Poetic Understanding of a Seamus Heaney with the BIOLOGICAL BASIS OF BEHAVIOR --- the "STREAM OF LIFE" we all find ourselves in.

The "INTEGRATIVE COMPLEXITY" of that "STREAM of LIFE" is putting PRESSURE on our current systems.

It has put pressure on systems in the past and it probably will continue to do so in the future --- since comprehension of this "STREAM OF LIFE" is not currently fully within our grasp.

In 2022, we're much more AWARE of :

• Neuro-Developmental Differences and Disabilities
• Neuro-Psychiatric Disabilities
• Substance Issues, and
• Brain Injuries as well as Brain Tumors and Lesions 

as affecting Human Behavior and for that matter the behavior of other animals.

Something that is poised to change our concept of the Human Being ---- MICROBES that are NOT HUMAN that appear to be ESSENTIAL for NORMAL HUMAN BEHAVIOR and for the behavior of other animals.

What is JUSTICE in such a "STREAM OF LIFE" --- ?
