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.

PETITION: Government to Indicate Countries of the UK Are Open to Accede to the US

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.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. 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 United Kingdom, it would end their system of constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy . Instead, if they joined the United States as separate states, they would govern themselves under the U.S. federal system while receiving its protection. This proposal recognises that immediate change is unlikely but urges a serious conversation to addres...

Facing Draco, Mining Dorado

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 culminating in a financial crisis or a great recession. The 18.6 year 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 the politicians of the time used it to signal the day when the economy would be deliberately reset by fiat. This reset was necessary because this period was about how long the people of nations could abuse the economy before it was too late to recover on its own and much worse effects would have emerged. So it was the wisdom of the leadership of the time. As the aeons went by, the meaning and rationale of this policy became normalised - people an...

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview?

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview? I didn't. But it's when I believe my worldview, is truth, that I become violent without realising it. This is extremely hard for people to accept as possible. The resistance to seeing it and the temptation to escape from looking, is built into its foundations. So, I never said worldviews are bad for us. I did say that when I believe my worldview is a fact, then "I" become root cause of the worlds problems. Thought creates an image of the world. Then thought worships the image that thought created. I am scared of death. So I create an existential worldview about immortality - an image. This can be a God, a political ideology, scientific religiosity, atheism, planet saving activism, anything which my fear of death can hide behind. So if I do 'good' through this image I created, I will ultimately get a 'seat on the right hand side of God' , or whatever the image I created has defined as heaven. Then I w...
