The human race is on an individual journey to discover, to crack, and then to smash, the glass wall of his ignorance of his belief he cannot be liberated first of his belief that he is a thing called "human", then secondly of his belief that he cannot be liberated of his human, racing thoughts.

Not quite sure of what manner to approach this in.

Hungry, easily led, slow to recognise necessity.
Re: Sentencing the Human Race
The human race is mostly mundane with occasional sparks of brilliance, driven but without direction, alive but not awake.

Some of Kevin's, from Poison for the Heart:
-
What is man?
The long sought after "missing-link" between animals and humans.
An ape with large brain capacity enabling him to enjoy crosswords, television, and the atomic bomb.
A bipedal relative of plants.
A rational animal who loses his temper when called upon to act in accordance with reason.
A failed evolutionary experiment in ignorance.

Hah! Brilliant. I've got another one -
The human race - a species of animals which have conquered the earth, largely due to their ability to make each other feel guilty.

The Human:
A machine programmed to satisfy biological drives. There is a spiritual self buried in that mess somewhere, but few have the character to even self-examine.
