Mostly Hairless Apes

I've reached my limit for tolerance of social stupidity. It's time to wake up to the reality of the basic functions of life. It's not that hard to see where the billionaires are leading us. They'll have there stuff, and most of what should be ours. most of us will be fighting over the scraps. Off with their heads is the only option, or else pick your dystopian sci-fi future.

The evolutionary node is nigh. We are nearing the end of the dominance of colonialism as our main form of civilization. Thinking humans realize in our modern world we need professionals, but we don't need kings...or dictators.... or maybe even presidents, or CEOs or any other anal aperture that doesn't understand the distinction between 'management' and 'ruling'.

It's time for those new year resolutions. Think global, act local is my current motto. I'm focusing some on me, and some on everything else. As ever, what the split is becomes the key variable.

Revelation. Religious ecstasy. Fun stuff. I've had one, when I realized the critical role of belief in establishing any civilization. Everyone that I consider civilized shares a belief system with me. We accept that there is probably no personal magical entities out there, wherever.

We accept that science is the best social adaptation that humans have evolved to solve problems. Science yields knowledge - information about our shared reality. And the unknown can be packaged into our belief system.

The belief system in the Evolving Church of Science says only that we should minimize belief. Accept the probability that there aren't any magic gods out there who have our backs. We are on our own here on our wet little planet. And we should start taking better care of it and each other.

Welcome to an evolutionary journey as a member of the Evolving Church of Science. New memberships will be available as soon as I figure out one of those cash internet thingies.

It came to me in a revelation. I see clearly now. The cash will follow from a good idea. People like good ideas because that's how evolution progresses. Ideas are information, the 'coin of the realm' for biological evolution via natural and artificial selection. Whether the information is in DNA or libraries, Ideas are functionally no different than alternative genetic sequences.

The ongoing questions are merely to assess what happened when that information got deployed through some technology. Be it our cells, our hands, our machines or our churches, each manifestation can alter our evolutionary journeys.

Thinking is the adaptation that truly makes us civilized humans. I wish more people did more of it....

How much diversity can you handle? That's the issue today.

So I've been thinking about retirement. So many 'pearls of wisdom' are trickling through my gray matter about what it was going to be and what it is.

Work is life. If you're not working at something, solving some problem, making something better or beautiful, WTF are you doing? You want to take me through the mental processes that allow you to think you deserve to be a lard-ass?

Why am I angry? Let me explain...

Home can be different things, ranging from where you sleep to the entire planet. All of it requires care and maintenance. We should do more of that.
