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:

stop believing collectively that obedience to authority is a primary good
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.

*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...

Government & Tax Death Toll

I'm going to show you how government and taxation causes more excess death than any other factor, even global wars and pandemics. It is and always has been the biggest genocide of all. And its deliberate. Government doesn’t just fail to save lives — it takes them, at scale. 2–6 million globally 200K–400K in the U.S. 50K–80K in the UK Every year. Every tax. Every regulation. Cumulatively since 1970 government and tax killed between 160 and 300 million people across the globe More than all 20th century wars and genocides combined (260M) In the U.S. ten times more than all U.S. combat deaths in history (10 * 1.2M) In the UK equivalent to 1 in 15 of all deaths And the nations with more regulations and a higher tax to GDP ratio such as the UK and US, tend to kill more of their own citizens per capita. The poorest nations have a better record than the richest. All this excess death is rooted in the institutions of taxation - the theft of private property, by force, against your fr...
