How we allocate intellectual resources matters to the survival of the species.
This is simple. There is only one thing we can know, existence. Everything else is extrapolated. So, we are alone. All consciousness is individual, and we have no direct access to the minds of others (yet). Therefore, logic dictates that the universe as we experience it is solipsistic, amoral, and singular. That is our starting point.

Three Albino Boys from China
Chosen ones from preston gannaway on Vimeo.
In China, children with albinism face a bleak future. Often abandoned and ostracized, most will never be educated, marry or find a job in their country. Adoption offers hope for a chosen few.
Kim Anderson was facing an empty nest and looking for a way to do more to serve God when a photo of a Chinese orphan caught her eye. "That's our child," she thought. Now eight years later, Kim and her husband, Steve, have adopted four special needs children. The three boys have albinism.
Ironically, the same rare condition that stigmatized the boys individually in China, reinforces their brotherhood in the United States. Elijah, Paul and Micah's snow white hair and pigmentless skin, create the appearance of a biological connection. Despite their age difference, people often mistake them for triplets. What may be shocking and novel on one child is normalizing on all three.
