Do you think we need a value North Star?
It appears to me that we sapiens need a value North Star upon which to fix our voyage. We need a reference point upon which we can focus our attention when trying to determine what of value we can and should do in life.
Religion, or God, serves as the value North Star for some people; for others it is nationalism; for others, that fix is to own as much good stuff as possible; to others it is power; for some it is family; and I guess there are many other such ultimate values.
I have tried to examine my inner voices to determine just what my value North Star is and does it need to be changed. I have determined that, by some turn of events, perhaps completely willy-nilly, my value North Star is life on this planet. My guidance for fixing value is ultimately dependent upon its aiding or hindering life on this planet.
I often speculate that human life is a hindrance to maximizing the good life, of all life, on this planet. I often speculate that if all life on this planet were given a vote in this matter that they would throw sapiens overboard.
