In addition to what has now become boundless greed and the fact that one can and must make money from the news, all forms of nationalism and its degenerate sibling, patriotism, pose a fundamental problem for communal coexistence. As long as we do not see ourselves as a species hurtling through the void on a tiny speck of rock (a void that can kill us in the blink of an eye) nothing will change. As long as our self-image is not that of a single species, we will continue to think in terms of wealth, race, interests, and ridiculous lines on a map, thereby destroying at the very outset everything we could ever hope to achieve.
