Letter to the Editor:
It isn’t President Trump that poses “an existential threat to our existence” as Dr. Frances questionable psychiatric diagnosis suggests (Why psychiatrists take sides, 8-30-19). Our greatest threat is from two other factors. First, it is the evolution of weaponry that is accelerating with the exponential growth of the power and affordability of most technologies – and the fact that every technology has the capacity for multiple uses -- to create unprecedented good or unimaginable (and sometimes unintended) harm. Consider genetically targetable bioweapons or Artificial Intelligence realizing the existing flaws in the human mind.
This is the second factor. The sickness of our hate filled culture is accelerated by the human mind’s capacity to believe anything --while also keeping us from doing what we know needs to be done.
We need to form a more perfect union. We need to apply the fundamental principles of our Declaration of Independence to every living soul on this planet. Anything less and our species is unsustainable, regardless of weather conditions, political parties, religious beliefs, or economic policies.
Someone’s comment on WTimes Website:
"I used to think Trump was an 11-year-old, an undeveloped schoolyard bully. I was off by about 10 years. His needs are more primitive, an infantile hunger for approval and praise, a craving that can never be satisfied.” – Dr. Charles
