Genetic defect? cultural diversity ? and social inequality ? arent they very mutually dissimilar concepts ? dont we usually prefer to have the 2nd one and
disdain on the other two? are defects and variance occuring out of random ness of events, the same thing? how do you compare a defective tool produced from
an assembly line factor and a new born with a rare genetic defect?now if u wud say a machine is different from a human, then i wud like to state the basic
rationalisim of science assumes humans are nothing but biological machines... then why are we so bogged down in detecting defects and reducing defects and
variance that exists around us or why do we get so perturbed when we see a genetically defective new born? cant we accept things as they are by default? why
are we so regimented in our thinking ?in other words who on earth needs six sigma ? can we notthink of factory defects as a random process of production of
new design variations, of some unintended or unknown input?
The fallacy of the human race and our western scientific civilization, is that on one hand we want to elminiate percieved defects from assembly line
manufacturing in our factories and also from the genes in our blood , and on the other hand we patronize biological, cultural and national diversity
apparently.
We dislike the concept of racisim and hate/crminilize Holocaust and Hitler ,
(who just wanted to normalize racial variance in Germany too quickly thru mass killing) on the other hand we still feel pity on poor people from the third
world and generally want them become affluent and fat like westerners? Why only the western world has defined the world poverty line benchmark? why dont any
one say hey may be hungry poors in Africa are not so poor, its just europeans, north americans and now some asians have gone too well nourished for too long?
does this sound too much like that of by gone socialism ? i dont think so....diseases like obesity and overnourshment being more prominent than those due to
undernourshment is a medically established fact now....so why dont the over developed world declare themselves "too much over the affluency line" than
labelling the majority of the world "below-the-povert-line" who are still way below them in terms of social and economical abundance. This philosophy is some what coming into existence in global carbon credit trading arrangements taking place at present.
to put forward my solution, the western world just needs to declare developed countries of asia, North America and europe as over some defined affluency line and
should bring down usage of critical resources like electricity, fuel and food. Now if there is no collective consensus soon , we should stop shouting about
all the farce of stopping global poverty and gender/social ineqality. simply , we will say there is no such thing like poverty or infant mortality that
exists!!
Western sensibilities have only taught us hyprocricy. Not clear?? I will tell you why....let us consider the case of democracy , which is so well celebrated over the last few centuries, but see this
concept is only limited to governance...where is democracy in the corporate world of big businesses? why in corporate management, daily operations are kept separate from ownership ?
why doesnt share holders of a company run all day to day work of a large multi national company???? Where is participatory governance of big businesses which now runs America and India alike????
