We are all human tribes, and we see the other tribes as if in a mirror, that simply reflects our paranoias. Every move we make of our technological civilisation for strategic tribal advantage is mirrored and countered by the others, particularly when we don’t see ourselves as having made a first move, when we actually did. Global politics is like the mirror game in “Duck Soup” by Marx Brothers. All global military powers and planners are just silly stupid clowns. From far away they look like uproar jokes in a movie.

Every tribes common Achilles heel, almost fully mirrored, is a common failure to recognise our common global heritage, which our one and only planet with an evolved systems biosphere maintained by life systems, of which all our tribes are strongly linked parts. We exist because unique life-geo-systems evolved circumstances which brought about the climate stability of the Holocene, creating the maximal opportunities and climate for civilisation to exploit and domesticate cereal crops and animals.

Now we are so extremely busy fighting each of our brother tribes for territory and technology material and population growth, and hegemony of territory, that we fail to notice the great global tragedy. We are rapidly losing our global commons, being the biosphere system circumstances which make civilisation it all possible. Not one tribe dare claim any responsibility for, the final downfall to which we are all fighting to increase our contributions to. We are all really at war with nature and we are winning hands down. Our mirrors should tell us, that responsibility belongs to each of our tribes, but we keep on magnifying fear and hate. Which means we fear and hate ourselves as well.
