Survival Of The Fittest Right?
So everyone should be familiar with Charles Darwin and his theory on evolution correct? Well just to reiterate it revolves around the idea that the strongest, and fittest, are naturally selected to survive because if they can't last they die out. Well, I'd like to call bullshit. That theory, although technically correct, is becoming irrelevant in "modern" society. The point of the quotes is because there are still areas of the earth that we haven't been able to discover or explore, or parts of the world that haven't developed to the point that they can have a lifestyle where Darwinism is irrelevant. But, I'd like to just say this right now, HUMANS FUCKED OVER DARWINISM. With domestication of animals and technological advance we lose the ability to physically evolve and are at the point where we can only advance on a technological level. I'd like to say this too, technological advance is just going to lead to societal collapse. Think about it, you'd think that when technology advances so does society right? Well I'd beg to differ, if you look at a lot of the "Advanced" civilizations we live in today you don't see that much of a society. You see more hate, violence, and disgust than ever before. Have you heard of the Aborigines? They didn't believe in violence, nor in excess. This is seen in a lot of cultures that were natives but abolished by Europeans. They only hunted what they needed, not more. I can't say the same about violence though. But where's that now? Or, oh I know, physical fitness. The term "I'm going to grow up to be your boss" is because this society focuses more on mental advancement and allows for physical digress. While there is the slight chance that some bonehead jock does go into sports, that's not the point of this. The idea of a mental superior that can also kick your ass is rarely prevalent to me. In this society laziness and obesity are practically promoted by the emphasis on technology. Until I find a computer that helps me burn calories faster than typing these blog posts, I'm going to keep working out everyday(when I remember to). There's mental digress going on and no one notices it. A reduction in moral also. The "advancement" of society leads to so much things that honestly disgust me. But, as everything does, there's a trade off. Of course you can always balance it out. When it comes to advancement the trade off is of growth. We're slowly trying to balance out, but right now the weight put on intelligence is a little too much. I respect ancient societies for the simpleness and the emphasis on skills that not that many people have anymore. In our modern society, Darwinism has been fucked because we help the weak live. We're going against nature. I'm not saying sick people need to die, no. I'm saying that in other aspects we're screwing over evolution. We're currently going through a mental evolution though. With the rise of first Crystal children and now Indigoism along with a rebirth of emphasis on spiritualism and health this is what I was referring to as us slowly balancing out. But that's still hundreds of years off before we can compare to the mental capabilities of ancient civilizations and tribes. And honestly, the disadvantage a lot of "third world" societies are at won't is just an advantage in disguise. As supported by a book I have to read for school, their economic disadvantage provides more opportunity to advance mentally. If there's one thing you can learn from history and from anything else, everything has a rise, climax, and decline. Nothing is ever permanent. In a sense, you could call Europeans the descendants of pussies. Thousands of years ago they left Africa because they couldn't stand the conditions. The people that obviously stayed behind were the stronger ones. They still get crippled by disease and famine, but physically the ones that do eat I'd be scared of. If I went to Africa I'd be the most respectful person ever, not just because I'm not gonna be there with a gun but because I'd probably be going to a village where I'm not respected. I may be buff, but that's compared to school mates that don't have to hunt or do other physical activities everyday. That's compared to school mates that don't do much any exercise everyday. Not saying there aren't. I'm not the beefiest kid at my school. But if I go to Africa, to a village, I'd imagine the only thing that makes me stronger than a 10 year old there is because he's malnourished and I'm not. I'd imagine a 10 year old African villager, that has eaten at a good enough rate, could throw me on the ground and beat the crap out of me as easily as I could tear a piece of paper. Thanks for reading my rant, sorry about there not being pictures.
