Is it ebola or islamism, two admittedly deadly viruses? Whilst they pose a serious danger I believe the threat they present pales into insignificance compared to that of the deadly philosophy of altruism and its concomittant, statism.This threatens to bring about a descent into global totalitarianism as all the pieces are in place - from the erosion of liberty,political correctness and an ever encroaching state which effects every so called free nation on earth to varying degrees and levels of progression.
Just as it was philosophy which created civilization and allowed mankind to crawl out of the darkness of superstition and irrationality to rise towards the sunny uplands of the enlightenment, it will be bad philosophy that will destroy it and push it back into the pit of darkness,slavery and oppression.Whilst mankind rose upwards via the enlightenment it remains a fact that the baleful effect of religion casts it shadow on his ascent and in its secular version of altruistic statism threatens to drag him backwards into the self immolation and slavery of totalitarianism.
Unless man can break the bonds of serfdom by throwing off the shackles of an atavistic altruistic mentality he will again hurtle back to the past of the dark ages where mankind dwelt,in the black pit of slavery, reduced to the pitiful choice of being devoured by others or seeking whom he may devour.
