Rarely Difficult for the Average Man, yet...
All things excellent are as difficult as they are rare.

Rarely Difficult for the Average Man, yet...
Inspired by Baruch Spinoza (1632-1677)'s quote, "All things excellent are as difficult as they are rare". The titled responsion is perhaps his most famous uttering, captured by the historians and regurgitated by the mouthing motions of our culture.
Directly relating to E.O. Wilson's concept of consilience (originally from Whewell), this little guy is branching out to interact with a changing environment, problem is, his biology has no idea how to adapt to such an accelerated loss of ecological habitat. We don't appear to be much better and yet we are cause. Excellence is right in front of us and apparently we are destroying her at an extinctive rate!
Common and Good Go Together
Inspired by John Stuart Mill (1806-1873)'s quote, "Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing". The titled responsion points in the direction of ends justify the means over the inability to act towards a common Good. Notice how I didn't preface Good with The, however, I have capitalized Good to indicate an ideal, Platonic to be exact. It's society that is participating in this capital punishment making the Good into something less than ideal, a perversion of sorts; 'for me' as justified by what spews from the mouths of millions to satiate their silos of solitude and perpectual missinformation on a mass scale.
