The First Evolution of Man

This post is going to tell you about humanity in the middle of an extraordinary evolutionary transition. 

And that this is the first evolution since humans started cultivating the fields systematically ten thousand years ago. * 

And that not only do we see that slavery is wrong. We cannot see that once upon a time and for good reason it was seen as right. Curiously at the same time we cannot see that the time is ripe to adopt autonomy instead on a systemic basis - something is stopping us from getting rid of slavery.

This last sentence is key - everyone knows slavery is wrong today. Nobody agrees that autonomy is right today. Can you see it? We are stuck and I know why. 

Because of this we feel like we're stuck in a time warp of modern day system wide slavery unable to see clearly enough to observe the potential for the first evolutionary step of man.  And project blame onto those who signal autonomy while praising highly those who signal obedience(slaves). We are still signalling obedience and it has a strong hold over us.

We have some way to go. Certainly I do not see the evolution completing in my lifetime, maybe not even for a thousand years. But I feel honoured I live in the middle of the transition. I am one of the pioneers. And so are you. Isn't that exciting?

I cannot state the following observation enough though. Today slavery and autonomy together are seen as a paradox because humanity is in the middle of my proposed evolutionary transition. Where:

  • in the past slavery was mandatory for survival and seen as a good thing
  • recently and in the future autonomy is mandatory for survival and seen as good
  • both are extant but with slavery dominating via obedience theory
  • both are mutually exclusive - absolutely, so until the transition is commenced properly evolution is limited
  • both can exist simultaneously - relatively, and must diverge widely over time for the transition to breach the threshold for an evolution

To break the spell this means we have to:

  1. stop believing collectively that obedience to authority is a primary good
  2. start believing collectively that autonomy from administration is a primary good

But whilst we insist on remaining in the woods it's hard to see the trees, right? This is the transition humanity is in and this aeon can be thought of as the first evolution of man

Obviously for almost everyone this will be an extraordinary challenge to observe objectively. I do not ask for it lightly. 

For a more thorough exposition covering angles you may feel are missing here, please select from topic labels and the FAQ.

*Note: as far as we know. There is plenty of evidence pointing to extreme human antiquity. This is OK because it in no way discounts that today we are in a transition away from slavery toward autonomy.

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States (UKEXIT)

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states.  Being English the main focus is for the country of England to accede. The original intent was to ask the government to lead on it through a petition leading to the question coming before the House of Commons. This was crushed out of hand by the committee leading petitions, which was not a surprise.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. Let us call the initiative UKEXIT (yukezit) The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or  England were to leave the Unit...

The 450 Volt Truth: From Orwell to Obedience

A Complete Thread on Dystopia, Milgram, and Breaking the Agentic State - Why People Act Irrationally and Often Violently When a Tribal Social Structure and Its Hierarchy Are Brought Under Serious Scrutiny This is a tricky topic. Please read the Obedience Glossary of Terms before proceeding Executive Summary This piece was written from a long conversation with Grok. I had to interrogate the AI quite a bit. And was astonished at how it produced such intelligence. I've included the most pertinent parts. Do not be fooled into thinking this is just another Orwell analysis. That is just setting the scene well. For what comes later on the agentic state and how power uses it to control the masses.  It may not have all the answers. It might wrong. A lot of it is very hard to believe is happening. But it still seems to fit the bizarre world of system wide dissonance we all live and partake in today, better than all the alternatives. So deserves your continued attention. By all means make yo...

Facing Draco, Mining Dorado - The 2026 Great Recession

This is a proposal to show how the 18.6 year real estate cycle is a hang over from times where the mechanics of the lunar month were used by high priests of the time to forecast ancient agricultural cycles - what we would today call a business cycle always culminating in a financial crisis and great recession. The 18.6 year astronomical period is governed by the intersection of lunar and solar eclipses. It is known scientifically as the Saros Cycle. Where all 3 harmonics of the orbit of the moon coincide once every 18.6 years. The ancient scholars knew this and had been measuring it for aeons. And the politicians of the time used it to name the day when the economy had to be deliberately reset by fiat. This reset was necessary because they noticed around 19 years is as long as an economy can survive when being unjustly abused by its people. Any longer making it too late to recover on its own. And without the reset much worse effects emerge. They knew this. They did not know why. They j...
