But then it sounds like he's technically right in this instance, so that's OK I suppose.

If 1 is the cave man and 10 in Utopia, we are probably on a 2 or a 3 at the moment, so humankind will have to bear a few more millennia of wars, inequalities and even catastrophic destruction before it eventually wakes up to the fact that we are all one consciousness and the only way to move forward and survive is for our individuals egos and desires to be surrendered in favour of something much more worthwhile. However, Choamky unfortunately kinds of undermines the whole point of his article (ie The Man Don’t give a Castlemaine XXXX) by referring to England in his bit about Adam Smith when, one assumes, he means UK. A bit like Gore Vidal – a leftie on paper, but in practice an utterly hypocritical, pompous popinjay – much like the rest of us.
