1.
Sometimes an idea (intellectual level) can transform the social
level in a way that makes it "of less quality" and more static. The victory
of the social level value would have been better (of higher quality). Right?
Is it moral for an idea to kill a society, if it generates a brave
new world with no ideas?
The idea that we are in a war against terror has transformed the
social level, decreasing its quality and making it more static. Don't you
agree?
2.
The income gap between the west and the rest of the world will keep
threatening us. That is the main reason for the lack of stability and social
peace in Europe, and for the growth of the far-right.

human race lives on less than $2 a day, is neither just, nor stable."
