Moments later he added to the list the platform of greed on which people steal from society to feed their petty, pathetic, inward centered interests.

      He explained that the model that everyone presently subscribes to incorporates many such faces, and every one of them is as ugly and as socially destructive as the other. He said that a deep axiomatic shift is required. He suggested that if a higher and more scientifically correct model were to supersede the old defective model that most of humanity subscribes to, we would find ourselves living in a richer civilization, in a richer world, a world where truth, honesty, honor, and love have a place, and we would seek our riches there, rather than in stock portfolios which were proven to have no real value at all.

      He promised in closing that society would some day find its value in contributing to those who elevate civilization and enrich all forms of human development. He said that society should be ashamed over the disdain and indifference that had apparently pushed geniuses like Mozart or Tchaikovsky into an early grave. Ross also held up the example of India, which he held up as a nation that had strongly supported its cultural leaders in their fight for freedom and self-respect, and this so much that one single little man with a right idea became a giant that shook the word, that inspired an entire nation to pull itself out from under the feet of the mightiest colonial empire on the planet.

      "We can no longer afford to tolerate an inward focused marriage model," said Ross, "that separates us into isolated camps and into a multitude of tiny private empires that are separated from one-another by greed and fear, and boundaries that reflect defective axioms. In a nuclear armed world we cannot afford this isolation and disdain. In an arena where failures in people relating to each other precipitates a certain doom, we have to step beyond the ancient myths that are riddled with failures in human relationships which, according to available evidence, had been created by the intend to facilitate imperial domination. Even the amassing of imperial wealth, which always happens to the detriment of society, reflects the same type of failure. That, too, can no longer be tolerated. These failures have pushed the world-financial system over the edge and collapsed its shiny facade into the quagmire of misery and death that we have just experienced on a global scale. We barely survived this catastrophe. We cannot survive a similar failure in the arena of war that may become a new religious war or a nuclear war."

      Before Ross stepped off the podium and suggested that it has become imperative that we establish a higher platform for relating to one-another in order that further failures in people's relating to one-another become preempted before we die as the result of those failures. He said that the cost to achieve that might be high in terms of individual commitment to establish a wider, more honest, and more meaningful unity among the whole of human society, but it will have to be born without a whimper. It will have to be born to assure our survival on this planet. "No other options exist than to uplift our relationship to one-another as human beings."

     He spoke about these things in a clear and authoritative tone. "No technological solutions exist that can shield us against a nuclear war," he said, in an almost shouting manner in order to emphasize the gravity. "Nor will political treaties provide this safety. Only we ourselves can obsolete the platforms on which these weapons have been built and continue to be build and deployed. Anything less than an honest and daring commitment to this goal will precipitate our doom."



      When Ross left the platform a great silence ensued. No one cheered. There was a little applause after a while, but no standing ovation erupted. Ross told us afterwards that he felt this was a good sign. He felt that he had achieved what he had set out to achieve. He said the people were quiet at the end, because they were convicted by their own consciences for contributing to the failure. He suggested that they were most likely trying to search for a way out. "That's a good start," he said.
