Sometimes i am asked how things could be changed for a better. Yes, some people listen when i talk about the Human Future and the way, evolution has designed for this species by the invention of language – the first evolutionary step between individuals – and the human programming of less dominance and violence towards more justice...
because justice is just a state of interaction – the most efficient one – and because the two great nations following the Law of the Strongest and the Dictate of Profit, USA and China, not only great global players but great global poisoners, prove easily that injust behavior is inefficient behavior...
prove that not caring about environment and people destroys both environment and people.
Ok, if you are a only a Davos Man, you cannot consider the consequences of your actions, because these consequenses are always to be borne by others, by the Chinese Slaves, so easily fired, when the cheap work take its terrible toll on them, by the victims of floods and droughts, by the jobless and the homeless..
by the “human waste” the mighty Davos Men so carelessly “produce” without thinking about what so many betrayed, desperate people may do in the end...
because if you are rich, you don’t have to eat and drink and breathe like others, you just have to pay and all is fine.
“Ahem”, say the people, who listen to me,
“that’s the Status Quo:
an overpopulated world, where the Great Moloch 'human species' is everywhere, devouring everything in its path, leaving nothing behind than desert and waste...
a Great Moloch of single individuals, destroying everything together but avoiding (or not being able?) to act and think together – each cell on its own ignoring the own future and the future of the children...
a cancer of the Earth, ruled itself by the Davos Men (the most successfull cancer cells, confusing their growth with the 'ability to survive')...
and that is where it must go:
bettering communication between individuals to reach the next level of evolution, the Next Generation, able to avoid destruction by thinking and working together for more efficiency – due to the fact that efficiency is indispensable because an overpopulated species needing food or tools and removal of waste, forced (by physics) to use just finite resources has to care not only for effectivity (for results), but also for the clever handling of all the used stuff – simply because only cycles are survivable in nature ...”
hey, Davos Men, you may not be able to understand it – but physics is not bribable. You cannot create water, air and a vibrant Gaia, offering food and medicine, with green paper...
“So”, ask the few people, who listen to me – “how could it be done? How could we prevail upon the selfish people ruled by blind greed (the successful called 'rich', the not so sucessful called 'criminals') to demand what Mother Nature programmed in our head: sometimes to sacrifice for someone else than ourselves, sometimes to care for someone else than ourselves, sometimes to consider the consequences of our actions for someone else? You know the answer”, they say to me – “'but the other one did/has it also', the answer will be. The answer of children when they get less then the other, and so they will not stop to ignore future. They will not do it if they are poor, because they are too busy to survive and they will not do it if they are rich, because they are too busy to get more than others to build the biggest banana heap...
and then?”
I don’t have an answer. I think about brains and how their knowledge depend on their individual experience (by design of active information processing), even sharpened by the “optimization” during childhood, when the brain adjusts itself according to the current environment...
i think about the basic violence in mammals, which accepts rape as “valid strategy” of reproduction because “it works”, structural violence, which uses male competition to reject most of the male individuals in favor of the Highlander principle – the Law of the Strongest as the strategy of improvement...
and then i think of brains – how they learn by experience...
so the brain of mammals always will learn, that “violence works”...
do you see it?
That is – per definitionem – asocial behavior. The future of Humankind, based on language and the “new programming” of lesser dominance and lesser violence calls for another way: the way to MORE social behavior, more group intelligence.
Is the gap too far? The gap between what is and what should be? The inheritance of the body too strong for the “young” freedom of the brain?
I guess, it is – i bet, the Next Generation will not be based on mammals. The Next Generation, the one who may reach the stars, will be successors of crows or ravens or some other intelligent birds, because they know something like “love”, since the first step to a social life is to be able to respect your mate, i guess – something a species of “Highlanders”, Sheiks and other owners of harems, may they be lions or bulls or rams, cannot offer...
so imagine the “Time After” in some thousand years, when the Great Moloch is defeated and vanished from the face of Earth, when life found a way to recycle the poison and brought back information (= regularity and steadiness) and some crows have survived – then they might found an Earth without big terrestrial enemies (as the mammals did after the fall of the dinosaurs) and come back on earth, reshaping their wings to hands to be able to use tools...
imagine that: their capable brains, currently already much more capable than the brains of the early mammals – and their more social “construction”. So they will have a chance to reach the next level after language...
but that is not the plot i thought about...
the plot i thought about, which requires a fantasy author to be written?
It is just the fairy tale which brings us from the Davos Men to the Deciders, from the asocial Chimp societies to the survivable human societies, from the Moloch to the Avatar of Gaia...
i cannot see how it could be...
can you?
Then write the story of the survival of humankind, please...
