Galápagos by Kurt Vonnegut. It + uses a fictional story as a pivot point to go about understanding how evolution actually works. + Go check out it out. Well anyways I am writing this to explain what evolution actually looks like + and the issues with Social Darwinism. Evolution in nature is the process of making species more + well adapted through nature selection. Its a nearly mathical process and <b>it does not care + what we think is the best</b>. The only thing driving the process is making species well tuned + to their environment. For example evolution might make a species less physical strong in return + for liter weight and less required food to survive if thats what would make it better fitted + for its environment. It does things like this all the time take flightless birds for example. + Humans see losing flight as a downgrade but evolution no longer saw a need for those birds + to fly and instead designed the birds for other uses like swiming, faster running speeds... + </p> + + <h3>Case against Social Darwinism</h3> + <p> + Social Darwinism is a construct of societies understanding of the world. Its a reflection of + the bias of those who have been given control, those who write the history books, those who + use their artificially sense of confidents and undeserved power to keep their name alive + after death. The few who are worth remembering aren't bought into the light until they + been dead long enough for their revolutionary ideas not to fuck up the status quo set + by the current narcissists in power. Nikola Tesla didn't get into the spot light until + his ideas lost the revolutionary edge and conflicts with the people in control of the + electric companies, Martin Luther King Jr was under attack by the US government his + entire life but once the more progessive side of his message got forgotten the same + people attacking him named a day after him and made one of his more tame speeches + his legacy while the rest have been forgotten to time. Thats not even including the + countless things forgotten to history. The small wars, the forgotten scientists and + artists... Nothing is in a vacuum, all these things enteract with each other in a + large choatic system which adds up to greater change and the movement of history. + If you want to see Darwinism applied to human society and history read up on some + old good Karl Marx and his dialectical materialism. + </p> + + <h3>Hybrids and the origin of humans</h3> + <p> + Check out <a href="https://www.macroevolution.net" target="_blank">macroevolution</a>. + It goes into details about hybrids and how humans are monkey pig hybrids. </p> </td> </tr> @@ -142,7 +178,62 @@ table { <td> <h2 id="universe">The Universe</h2> <p> - Still being worked on. + The Universe is a chaotic system of really small interactions and really large + interactions on a mass scale all running into each other in a nearly murderious + manner. Everything can be understood through the lens of dialectics. Everything + is the interaction of engery. The things we know and understand is just the result + of interactions of engery. Even matter can be viewed through this lens. I don't believe + in the big bang. Instead I have my own theory. + </p> + + <h3>The creation of the universe</h3> + <p> + The Universe didn't come from nothing. Everything have always existed. In fact outside + the universe only everything exits and there is no nothing, no voids, no where safe from + particles colliding at speeds that makes light speed look like a childs bikes. Outside the + universe everything interacts with everything forever in all directions. Its like tv static that + goes on forever. Just like tv static since its random if you just so happen to pause during the + right time and zoom in you might find a picture of something. It might even just so happen to be + a picture of you! The universe is one of those. A time and place in a random existance that just + by the chance of randomness is something coherent. Like finding ShakeSpeare in The Library of + Babel. The engery interacted in a way to create what + we call the big bang. Instead of creating things it just opened up an area safe from the chaos. + A place where the interions are limited in a way. Constraints that makes limited yet complex and + coherent structures of engery possible. These structures is what matter is. Things light speed + is a example of one of these constraints. Its nothing uncommon.

It doesn't will things to happen like a + religous god. Instead its a high being bound to the same forces and constrains as us. It only + has the power which are given to it also like us. It only ever sees what it can and sense what + it can. + </p> + + <h3>Humanities reason for existing</h3> + <p> + I am a big Kurt Vonnegut and his book Cat's Cradle made me start to think that humans do have + a reason for existing but its not pleasent! I kind of went insane reading it so just hold on + for dear life as I pull nonsense out of my head. In the book there is something called ice-nine. + You can read about it on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice-nine" target="_blank"> + this wikipedia article</a> if your too lazy to read Cat's Cradle. Spoiler: <b>ice-nine gets into + the ocean and destroys the whole planet</b>. It made me think: I wonder if the universe brain + is in pain in its own sort of way and are reason for existing is to create a type of ice-nine + that destroys the universe. I have a sort of surreal depression that makes existing a pain. + Its transends any sort of normal pain or sadness. Its deeper than just the survival parts of + the brain to warn us if something is wrong. Its a short circuit that causes sorts of thought + loops and blunt conscious that causes a sort of pain that is slow and drawn out but adds up to + something no bullet or knife could cause. I often deeply relate to the universe brain and hope + it doesn't have to feel the same sort of thing. The universe can't end itself and no human will + destroy willfully: humans are going to end the universe by mistake just like when ice-nine got + into the ocean. Humans may be fucked up pig monkey men and freaks of nature but we are good at + one thing: destroying things by mistake. Evolution designed us for that. Part of natural selection + is testing each species and Adam and Eve is a medifor for that test. It proved we are well designed + to destroy things by mistake so it picked us. </p> </td> </tr> |
