Trap
humanity or the end of history "beast-men".
1. Trap
Hitler.
What occurs in this word? What images? Bad man who lived
long ago? Tyrant? Holder of crazy
ideas? Culprit great war? Hater of Jews?
Something
on that list closer, something further from the truth. Tyrant? But who was
terrorized by this small man in stature? Obviously, only a naive person can not
understand that Hitler was a favorite and hope of millions. Directly in the
Nazi party proudly joined millions (even in 1933 the number of direct Nazi
Party in Germany
was - more than 2.5 million members), and on elections in 1933 for victory of
Nazis voted 43.9%. And despite the fact that the allies of nazis - NNNP for which voted 7.9% in 1933, nothing better was for Nazis. On the other hand this "a couple" opposing fans another, no less
monstrous totalitarianism - Communists, for which voted 12.3% of
voters in 1933.
But point is not only just in numbers. Not that the Hitler or Stalin, in itself, was little in what guilty. It is clear that their guilt - one of the ten millionth. There would not be they, there would be somebody else. What's the difference? People, millions of people required nazism, communism. And more precisely, they required any totalitarian or at least authoritarian rule. A question is in other. Why?

There would not be they, there would be somebody else. What's the difference? People, millions of people required nazism, communism. And more precisely, they required any totalitarian or at least authoritarian rule. A question is in other. Why?
The answer to this
question lies not only in the field of political science and history and is
associated not only our past but also the future, whatever it was.
The fact that
something, or rather one human need that generated the fundamental features of
totalitarianism of the twentieth century survived after the fall of these
regimes and the return to democracy and a cult of "rights and freedoms of man". It is not just survived, but hid, got the first, though negative, experience, became wiser. And so, humanity might still be
seen where grander ideas (and their implementations) than communism and nazism.
So what is gone and
what was one of the most important elements of totalitarian modes of the
twentieth century?
For the answer for this
question we need to make a small but "thin" analysis of the
development of human civilization.
Look. At first,
people differed little from animals, went "naked and barefoot." But
then, gradually, completing a "domestication" they learned to control
the amount and types of animals and plants they need for food. Afterwards they began substantially to facilitate and in the end replace the manual labour work of technique.
People perfected the habitations, dressed, and everything else, becoming as much
as possible the most independent of any natural conditions, requirements and
impacts. We can say that held enormous so-called material evolution.
In addition, people
gradually changed and their social life. It also took evolution, which can be
so called - social. People have realized that in order to increase their chances
of survival will be useful police, government, legalized marriage, and generally
the whole social structure, including the state, and consecrated her social
forms of cohabitation. After all, it is in the social evolution of people came
to democracy and modern capitalism, so to say, cultural liberalism.
As a result, humanity
in its external evolution (physical and social), created in the new external
conditions of modern life has reached so far that the modern journalist or
engineer very remotely reminds the old relative who lived twenty thousand years ago in external form and way of life. But therein lies the
trap, from which humanity has long and unsuccessfully trying to get out. A trap
is getting deeper.
The point is that this journalist or engineer differs nothing from that distant cave-relative inside, in character, in instincts, in desires and weaknesses, in a manner and way of thinking, in all internal nature (both psychological and physiological). In fact, we - all the same cavemen.
For us a desire to live, kill, eat, ability to go to sacrifice jealous, be greedy, seek something to explore, much better place in a cave, physical or aesthetic pleasures and all other instincts, reactions psyche, needs, fears, etc did not change not on a crumb.
Yes, of course, because of social evolution we forced ourselves (or we forced others) in external behavior to follow certain written laws and unwritten rules of behavior. But in fact, internally, we did not evolve along with our tremendous external evolution. We remained savages, animals. No more and no less. Inside - we still untouched and unspoiled wild nature.
Let's face it. If, as a result of something modern social structure is gone - the state and all that it regulates and supports, including state penal system, economic system and... Do you remember disaster movies about people remains after a planetary cataclysm? But, for me, the real situation is best illustrated in William Golding's novel "Lord of the Flies". Children 5-14 years, who were on a desert island are a bunch of primitive savages, part of nature, which follows the natural animal instincts and desires. Just like their ancestors twenty thousand years ago. Today's children are themselves. They finally reach harmony of internal and external nature. Among them quickly soars tinsel of social evolution, which they put on through education and socialization but not yet put adults who external evolved.
Of course, the point is not In the flocks of primitive people. In fact, we must dig deeper. Because we - only animals, part of wild nature, that generated us. We in any way did not could and does not can and not able to be other. (Here I do not consider the theory of the "divine" origin of people with "divine" and thus distinct from the animal characteristics or essence prospects disappearance of sinners and the onset of the "kingdom of God on earth.")

In reality, all our
external evolution that leads us away from nature, that our natural
environment, with a wild, but natural and harmonious way of life, it is a trap.
Our world-developed social organization and "high material culture"
is not just more unnatural and not similar to the animal world, our home world.
Our world has become antinatural, so that excludes nature. Or at most - a
world that tends to leave nature to "reservations" in the form of
protected areas, zoos, potted plants, pets.
But that's not all.
We continue to constantly increase the gap between animal psychology, which we
developed an over millions of years in the wild nature, the body with atavism of fish,
and our external social and material antinatural world invented and built by us.
After all, we ourselves become such monsters, "beast-men" of two
different and often tearing us constituents.
And that from that? And
with that, we have a situation that gives us constant, rising inner
psychological conflict. Since then we have social apathy, self-destructive,
apocalyptic mood, neuroses, and so on. A graduate of Columbia University, the
American scholar Michelle Hoffman wrote: "It is believed that a person
will become happy and psychologically, if it enough food if it has a roof over
your head, if it stays after work enough power to have fun, if it are unlimited
opportunities to acquire more and more things. But this logic can not answer
the question why the most economically prosperous countries, Sweden,
Switzerland and the United States, the highest percentage of people who
experience constant psychological discomfort, which in many cases turns into
mental illness ... Improving material conditions did not lead to a wealth of
emotional and spiritual content, the faculty, the volume of existence."
One of Russia's
leading scientists in the field of psychology of stress Sc.D., professor of
psychology Yuri Sherbatyh explains the situation: "The source of many human
stress is the discrepancy between the genetic programs that control his
reactions in extreme conditions and social realities of modern life. In this
case, we are confronted with one of the options for the manifestation of
fundamental contradictions biosocial nature of man. "
Unfortunately, this conflict and its consequences is rapidly progressing. The World Health Organisation has already compares depression epidemic that swept all mankind. Official site of the organization informs that in 2000 depression was the most important cause of disability and 4th for widespread of all diseases, but the situation is deteriorating and in 2020 it is expected that depression will come in second place among all diseases for all age groups, both sexes. This situation threatens to paralyze the economic life, especially in developed countries. The percentage of suicides that occur in the world, is growing steadily. According to the World Health Organization for 45 years since suicide rate in the world increased by 60%.

In this context, no
one is surprised by the survey results, which show that the happiest people are
the people who live in developing countries, relatively speaking, more close to
nature, not high-tech civilization. For example, according to an annual survey
by the Gallup International
Research Center
(Gallup International) in 2011, the country with the highest "happiness
index": Fiji, Nigeria, Ghana,
Switzerland, the Netherlands, Brazil,
Colombia, Iceland, Finland. Remarkably, consider
themselves unhappy and are "economic pessimists", for example,
residents of countries such as the U.S.
or Italy.
Many other studies show that the more comfortable they feel people who live in
villages or small towns than in large, technologically advanced cities.
But the conflict
between the external and internal evolution of wild natural world of man not
only makes us crazy, but increasingly threatens to become incorporated in a
fatal material form. Doctor of Physics and Mathematics, Professor of the Moscow
Engineering Physics University Boris Rodionov, examining risks destroying
humanity comes to a disappointing conclusion that "we live on the brink,
and at any moment can ruhnuty this region." And one of the major threats
he sees a horrible mixture of mental illness and high risks, which he calls
"global suicide": "Mankind is losing the instinct of
self-preservation, people are drawn to suicidal things. The mentality of people
thinner, with "toys" in their hands are becoming more
dangerous."
Now different
scholars in different ways and under different criteria to evaluate the chances
of survival of mankind. Scientists directly comprehensively exploring the
prospects of humanity, rather critically assess our chances to survive the XXI
century. Nick Bostrom (Nick Bostrom), Director, Institute for the future of
humanity at Oxford University, speaking about the chances of destroying
humanity in the twentieth century, claimed: "My subjective opinion is that
would be a mistake to assume that the probability is less than 25%, and the
highest score can be much more ... ". English astronomer Sir Martin Rees,
author of "Our Last Time" (2003) determined the following probability
of 50%. Approximately the same percentage (20-50%) support and other analysts.
We all consciously or
subconsciously feel that we stand on the threshold of great change. Filmmakers
like no other earning our anticipation apocalypse endless stream its films on
the "end of the world." Writes Wikipedia: "the golden age of
movie-disaster began in 1970." At the level of some governments, international
organizations, universities and other "think tanks" are drawn
unfavorable prospects for a more intellectual audience.
No matter what specific scenarios disaster. Matter what the system, called the human population, in the form we know it must be destroyed regardless of our desires. Destruction is inevitable under the laws of the functioning of all the systems we have, unfortunately, can not get around. Each system tends to equilibrium. We can not indefinitely increase the imbalance by changing only one outer side of our existence, distancing and, ultimately, contrasting it with the other side - their own internal content. Finally imbalance becomes critical and self-destructive for the whole system, we observe an increase in the internal psychological preparedness system elements (individuals) to destroy the integrity of the human system as the background sharp increase of all anthropogenic threats (environmental, technological, military and other). On the one hand inevitable finale. But not everything is so simple and clear.

On the one hand inevitable finale. But not everything is so simple and clear.
First, take a look at
this imbalance of detail.
For example, social
evolution. Modern democracy and capitalism "developed countries" as
the main peak of social evolution is the maximum limit that can allow us inside
wildlife. This is the most advanced possible form, which can somehow reconcile,
or rather, force doomed to coexist, internal and external human world in the
scale of humanity. Therefore Frentsis Fukuyama saw the current state of social
evolution of the so-called "end of history" of humanity. He saw and
named quite aptly, though not able to see the real causes and consequences of
such an end.
Our internal wild and
natural psychological essence has long hampered, rather contradicts further
external social evolution. This contradiction in the "end of history"
of humanity is not achieved "harmony." Facts and figures clearly show
that this is a hell in which cooked our psyche, causing not only nervozy and
apathy, but the subconscious or conscious desire to finally do away with all
this "developed" world. Or at least their lives in it.
The gap with foreign
social evolution gives us reason purpose. Ability to achieve goals gives the
gap between the inner wild natural essence and external "high-tech"
material evolution. We were "monkeys playing with a grenade." Our
existence is increasingly threatened ecological, nuclear disaster or some kind
of human nature, which in its own way, "material" formalize "end
of history" of humanity. These threats are growing and numerically and
qualitatively. To have long been known to add, such as those associated with
the production of artificial human organisms. In 2010 a group of American
scientists led by Professor Craig Venter (Craig Venter) managed to get a
single-celled bacterium, which controls the behavior of the artificially
created genome in 2011 for achievements in the same direction said scientists
from the University
of Tokyo. Or, for
example, risks associated with the establishment in the near future artificial
intelligence will surpass that of certain human performance (passing in the
twentieth century, the so-called technological point sinhulyarnosti). Not by
chance one of the authors of the universal programming language Java Bill Joy
(Bill Joy) in 2000 in
the pages of Wired magazine called collapse research in nanotechnology. And
many, many other new global threats.
Details, methods and
scientific possibility of human self-destruction does not matter. No future, no
ones already available. Many people say (especially some environmentalists,
evaluating existing human impacts on the planet) that we have pulled the check
from grenades and now just waiting for doom to an end. Wait while watching the
beautiful movie "An Inconvenient Truth" or "House" which
provides hope that we "realize," "will stop" and
dramatically, the abyss, change our behavior, psychology, whose age is not
millions of years, and therefore - vryatuyemos and will live happily ever
after.
Damage to disappoint,
but this tale probably will not. We are who we still are. "Beast-men"!
We unfortunately or fortunately, not like all the other animals (primarily
through intelligence), and for a long time do not want vdovolnyatys given to us
by nature or God harmony. We never cared about the scope and extent always put
their own desires above the needs of other living or non-living natural
systems. Were it otherwise, we would not have what we have and not gone so far
in their international evolution. Therefore, vysmyknuvshy check with grenades,
we will play with it until the last second.
And even here there
is no reason to consider an additional small factor as a simple tendency of
human psyche underestimate real dangers, what led so-called "cognitive
distortions" whose presence proved experimentally scientists
psychologists.
Oh no, we are doomed! If only ... If we did not have time to save what drove us into this trap.
We changed the outer sphere of life of the human population. We got the point where it is difficult and dangerous to combine animal psychological essence of the unnatural environment. But why do not we evolve us inside? Catch up inside the outer evolution and eliminate imbalances system.

Thus, we do not live
in harmony with nature. And if need be? For thousands of years we did not feel
this need. We have an alternative natural force that created a own world,
destroying the natural harmony of the radical changes animate and inanimate. In
this way, many came to believe that we can all nature is powerless against our
genius, but God does not exist, or it is what we do "approved" by
nature or God. There are opponents of such approaches, but now there is no
reason included in ideological disputes. Scientific another question.
If we are
"creators", then surely evolution in our hands, such effective tool
that worked perfectly in the social and material dimensions, was absolutely
powerless on our inner world? Only in the state we exist about ten thousand
years, and the form of government as well as economic structure, not to mention
the material world, have tremendous development directed us. So really, we have
not even tried to create our harmony, our artificial unnatural world? Do not
try to influence the inner world and also evolve it, pull the outer evolution?
2. "Psevdoevolyutsiyi"
Tried! And the first
attempt linked to religion. And I mean not attempt religion "on his"
to explain the world, no. I mean that people from the beginning of history,
social evolution through religion tried, so to speak, to evolve the inner
nature of man.
The beginning of that
human social evolution that we finally severed from the animal life associated
primarily with the advent of around 8-9 thousand years ago the state. Analogies
in the nature of this system was not. She was artificially invented people and
fundamentally different from natural "social" forms of life in the
tribe (herd, flock, Pride, etc.), which before used as a primitive people and
many animals.
Of course, before
gradually beginning there was the gap between the inner core animal rights and
the beginnings of external social and material evolution, driven people. But,
obviously, that it was an invention of the state, the difference of the
structure of natural samples were so large that the system of the human
population first began to need significant correction for the "harmonization"
of the system, caused by people leveling gap between internal and external
nature. Keeping wildlife inside, brought billions of years in the wild, it was
difficult to accept such an unnatural conflict-social form of life as a state.
Chinese philosopher Lao-ji and his followers at the beginning of this path trying to promote the idea of containment of the state and its differences from natural forms, limiting its elementary forms of social organization that existed before: one village - one state.
But for most of humanity deterrence own evolution has never been a choice. Therefore, at the very beginning of history, people have primitive, but in its original focus. They tried to correct the system to bridge the gap, "pulling" the evolution of internal to external.
Using religion (and all the feelings that gave rise to a social phenomenon), for example, the Egyptians proclaimed pharaoh - a living saint, a living god on earth, that man is fundamentally different, "evolutionary higher" inner essence and nature versus all others. In China, where the supreme deity was considered sky, ruler called tyantszy (son of heaven). "Heavenly lord" gave tyantszy country - Celestial gave him and the people. So tyantszy owns Celestial because it gave him great deity, orders which he performs. Obohotvoryavsya also ancient Indian Raja, who was considered the epitome of eight deities - guardians of the world: the moon, fire, sun, etc.. Therefore, "like the sun, he burns eyes, no one on earth can not even look at it." Similarly, in the introduction to the Babylonian king Hammurabi's Law states that Hammurabi - "mighty king, the sun of Babylon, who made light of the country of Sumer and Akkad, was called great gods who gave him the people (" Blackheads ") and sent it to manage people ". In ancient Greece and Rome to stage small-government policies (the formula Las ji: one village - one of the state), the situation does not need such a bright form, but in the era of design in Rome empire arose the cult of the emperor as a living god.
In other ancient peoples religion used in similar ways. This belief helped keep not evolyutsionovanyh "beast-men" in obedience to the unnatural apparatus, system, led principally efficient than they are people - the supreme ruler, as if he was not called. Later, during the Middle Ages, this "evolyutsionovanu", "God designated" quality spread to many entering class of so-called "noble", "nobility", "blue blooded people" in India is internal "evolution" obtained form the famous caste division and so on.

The trick is simple,
but the whole problem is that it was psevdoevolyutsiya, ie attempt a real need
to implement a system through deception. Because in reality, of course, no
Pharaoh or graph does not differ from the most recent sailor in the latest ham.
And once, in the course of history, it became increasingly evident, among wider
groups sprang ridicule, mockery of such fake "evolution" in the end -
the rebellion and finding alternative methods of political, social, economic.
However, by the end
of the XVIII - beginning of XX century following searches were fruitless. The
maximum that could offer people in moments of "attacks" protest
(powerful uprising lower strata) is an attempt to replace frankly
"neevolyutsionovanoho" ruler of allegedly "evolyutsionovanoho."
That is - the "good" that their outstanding intellectual, volitional,
spiritual qualities like was higher than many "neevolyutsionovanyh",
"normal". But such faith and selection were too shaky.
Firstly, for
"beast-men" and it was not clear what will happen transmitted power
in case of victory. If again a false props of heredity title, then what's the
point? Understanding this perspective is often at the beginning of the uprising
turned into ineffective short-term surge of emotion.
Second, even if the
heat of emotion was significant and rebels "beast-men" dumped
"neevolyutsionovanoho" ruler and put "outstanding",
"best", "sent by God", "top", apart from the
problem further transfer of power they always needed "monitoring"
this "evolyutsionovanoho" to support his own belief that he really is
so. And this, after obtaining "evolyutsionovanym" power, because a
number of objective reasons for the masses became difficult or impossible.
Accordingly, the "beast people" destroyed the belief that they are
not wrong. Appeared doubtful vtrachalas shaky available "legitimacy",
the advantage of a variety of opponents, increasing decay of the "new
government". After many "attacks", which originally ended in
victory ended loss "evolyutsionovanym" supporters and government, or
to a third person, or for the benefit, of whom just won.
Thirdly, even if the
authority of such a "large" and "outstanding", which won
the wave "attack" was enormous, clearly this
"evolyutsionovana" quality is not transferred to the heir. So death
"evolyutsionovanoho" leader had to rise again at the grassroots or
otherwise seek "outstanding", which was in the country virtually
impossible. Not to mention the fact that in reality, no elected in this way was
not "above", "better", that was not evolyutsionovanym.
Therefore the twentieth century "beast-men" even "successful" popular uprisings eventually roll down to the old scheme of "the ruler" God anyone, and his "superiority" for the most formal title, which is usually transmitted hereditarily. Later, during the nineteenth century democracy. and especially the twentieth century. technical, organizational capabilities allegedly allowed all mass-rise called "elections" to choose "the best." But this idea soon died under a layer manipulation, public relations, political and technology show. All quickly lost the illusion that democracy ruled us one bit "better" for us. On the contrary, people are usually very skeptical about the moral qualities "elect" and policies in many cases become synonymous least insincerity.

So other options
society "evolyutsionovanymy" people, even though at least one
"ruler" humanity could offer. Not enough scientific basis and
technical capabilities. Thomas More, Tommaso Kampanela and other utopians
designed the "new society", in varying degrees, anticipating that
they will create a "new people" but could not explain the mechanism
of how to become the "new people" how to change, evolve inner
essence, raise it to a "high", "conscious", "socially
useful" lyudynolyublyachyy level.
Instead, acting for
millennia props, focus on the fact that the rulers of the state - "people
blue blood" is not by nature such as subordinates' beast-men ",
despite its theatricality, not just existed and operated in the absence of
viable alternatives, and and had a key to evolutionary (albeit falsely
realized) feature - heredity achieved level.
It is fundamentally
important. This feature is key, because based on the same logic improvements
logic that we call evolution. In a typical definition of evolution means the
sum of all changes in populations of organisms over generations, which is only
possible if the transmission mechanism of acquired changes in the next
generation (eg, genetically in biological evolution).
Social and material
external evolution really had such a transfer mechanism made whole population
level the next generation. This level was passed in the form of finished
results, which could use the majority society and technology in detail their
achievements, experience and use of social errors.
Unfortunately, on
internal human evolution, the transfer of the achieved level for further change
was possible only with the use of a biological mechanism that genetically,
rather than using external physical audio-visual aids (voice, writing, etc.).
People, of course, for
their own lives "udoskonalyuvaly" themselves in their own way.
Someone along the way really, not fake becoming a "saint" in its own
man as new. Such people could "climb" over the animal essence, to
realize that it was not given to many, to rethink the meaning of existence,
internally retrain or at least effectively restrain their instincts and
desires, to reach other "internal innovation".
But this way was
always dead, "impotent" because they do not have any relation to this
evolution did not give any consequences not only for the whole human
population, and even the descendants of the man who "evolved." All of
this "new" even possible, so to speak, evolyutsionovana quality of
dying along with its bearer. And improve and control it could also only the carrier.
It turned out that
these changes did, including genetically impossible to pass. There have been
attempts to convey this quality through education, but found that it works very
slightly. Also, it depends heavily on teaching talent "evolyutsionovanoho."
In addition, the important role played by other external factors and internal
characteristics of the person who brought up.
In short, life has
shown that even under the most favorable circumstances, still in the third and
fourth generations of children completely lost their "holy",
"new" money, which reached their ancestor and does not differ from
the descendants of those who have this "evolyutsiyovanoho" ancestor
had . They held their own, so to speak, psevdoevolyutsiyu from scratch. Note
that we are talking about the most effective, as is the way, from parents to
children by example parents. Other modes of transmission such
psevdoevolyutsiyi, including through books and other physical media have even
lower efficiency.
Internal changes
within a single human life, are aimed at the man turned the entire human
population no internal evolution in the traditional sense, but an internal,
psychological "running in place."
For a long time the
main attributes of this "running in place" were a variety of more or
less detailed "instructions" from a moral psevdoevolyutsiyi like the
Bible, the Koran, myths, fairy tales and more. Nowadays, the belief in the
effectiveness and usefulness of such external "instructions" small.
And these "instructions" significantly decreased, becoming a short
personal "brochure", which contains samozredahovani own internal
"moral codes."
In the scale of the individual compliance with such brochure entitles consider themselves "evolyutsionovanym" to the dubious level of "civilized" or "normal" person. In the scale of humanity, a "running in place" gives stable genetically and socially spadkovanyy zero inner level of the same cave "beast-men."

In the scale of humanity, a "running in place" gives stable genetically and socially spadkovanyy zero inner level of the same cave "beast-men."
In contrast to this
"run in place" consecrated religious focus of the "blue",
"aristocratic blood" was an illusion though, but had a key to the
evolution of the trait. By means of borrowed from biological evolution -
genetic inheritance, the new generation of the ruling elite transferred
ancestors achieved, and actually established a formal title, "higher",
"evolyutsionovana", "elite" inner nature, as some
psychological support rights management neevolyutsionovanymy "beast-men".
But, as already
noted, this focus was only psevdoevolyutsiyeyu. In reality, no internal
evolution is not happening. Character psevdoevolyutsiyi unlike true evolution
reflected in the fact that the outside looked like evolyutsionovani state
leaders "froze" on one evolutionary leaps, going one level - people
with an internal "noble," "aristocratic", "chosen by
God." More than this level has not changed and evolved. Which is
understandable, since even the first level of such pseudo evolution was false.
If the leaders of this falsehood also constantly "virtual"
"evolyutsionovuvaly 'faith in her" beast-men "and at least
nominal loyalty to power would be lost at the beginning. But humanity
consciously or subconsciously did not make the same mistake. Though I offer a
real alternative to this psevdoevolyutsiyi too could not.
Gradually, education, communication (primarily due to typography), material wealth has reached such a level that evidence of false religious focus of the "chosen by God" rulers are not allowed to bear that cynical and ridiculous to many props. Moreover, the rulers of "blue blood", while not being a real evolution with time for yourself sp'yaneni stability of their status, power, money and impunity publicly behaved more and more "not noble", "not evolyutsionovano" and sometimes even worse subordinates "beast-men." That they accelerated the destruction of the social self-deception that lasted millennia. At the end of the eighteenth century people "blue blood", including monarchs, "beast-men" actively began to hack head shot, deny privileges. In general, the society began get rid tales of difference, "superior" people "blue blood."

In this process of
social "epiphany" in a period called "Enlightenment" became
popular obvious thesis of this natural equality of all men, because it turned
out that, in fact, are all "beast-men." This thesis is embodied in the
idea of the political, social equality (democracy, equal
rights for men), equal economic opportunity (capitalism), cultural freedom and
so on.
A world built on fraud perished. Many delighted advent of truth, but quickly found that actually the truth is not so much happy as terrible.
A world built on fraud perished. Many delighted advent of truth, but quickly found that actually the truth is not so much happy as terrible.
It quickly became
clear that the world is kept on deception and has existed for thousands of
years was not an accident and regularity. Moreover in this world, at least
outwardly system maintained balance. False, but the internal evolution
pidtyahuvalas to external system and look consistent, harmonious, so that was
orderly, predictable and stable. Without such social psychological
self-deception, the chasm between the inner and outer natural human evolution,
and nothing covered truth that we are all still cave "beast-men" did
the whole system of human populations unstable, chaotic, unpredictable.
Demolition ordered to
lie world, whose support was "evolyutsionovana elite blue blood" and
the coming chaos ("freedom") world of truth "beast-men"
caused tremendous upheaval in all areas. Democracy, capitalism in the late
nineteenth - early twentieth centuries so frustrate management mechanisms of
many states that a number of them simply disappeared (first Austro-Hungarian,
Russian and Ottoman Empire). Others, feverish
from uprisings, revolutions, demagogues, elections, wars of liberation, changes
in government, economic crises and other disasters. While advancing the world
of so-called "civil society", which in the words of the famous philosopher
Georg Hegel, is nothing but a "war of all against all."
It was at this time the freedom of economic, political opportunities, individual freedom (freedom of speech, freedom of thought, religion and so on) and the liberal mass culture bordering on permissiveness and immorality broken spine church and all declared "aristocratic" morality. In the best case broke thick and detailed millennial "moral instruction internal evolution" like the Bible in modern into small "tracts." At worst - promoted the cult of total pleasure, selfishness and lack of any moral restraints. Erich Frome wrote: "The dramatic changes that have occurred in the XVIII century., And called to life following the guidelines of economic behavior as radical hedonism and selfishness is limitless."
Remarkably, at this time fell naykatastrofichnisha epidemic in human history - a pandemic so-called "Spanish flu," which hit about 30% of the world's population and killed between 50 and 100 million people. or 2.7 - 5.3% of the population. It is possible that this is mere coincidence, but I think that the world is much more interconnected than we think.
So, at the beginning of the twentieth century, humanity has ended in complete chaos, destroyed all the political, economic, moral cores, social upheaval grew in all areas sprang the idea of anarchism. Not surprisingly, these changes seemed to hear many harbingers of doom. In this situation, the system of the human population for self-preservation demanded quick replacement psevdoevolyutsiyi rejected. Sharply increased need to order a new "zharmonizovanyy" a world in which new people will live where the internal evolution of finally happen and will truly match the evolution.

Before this
requirement embodied in an idea, I would say about two prerequisites that
ultimately determined the shape of future ideas through which humanity has
tried to bridge the gap, to balance the system and get out of the trap.
First, people in the
middle of the XIX - early XX century. so believe in the omnipotence of its
influence outside as nature (subjugation seemingly far beyond its reasonable
natural forces) and social environment (making it possible through democracy
and cook and miners to "manage" the state), who began to believe that
the change in external environment, and somehow change themselves. This error
late and inadvertently contributed quite correct conclusions biologists of the
nineteenth century. (Charles Darwin and others) that evolution and change
certain qualities in animals and plants is under pressure requirements of the
environment.
Secondly, due to many factors external material and social evolution (level of social organization, communication, education, general knowledge, etc.) to support (including armed) illusion of harmony with the inner world, the presence of internal evolution, it was necessary to constantly expand "evolyutsionovanyh ". So, if at first to justify social evolution, holding "dark" and superstitious "beast-men" in humility enough of a "evolyutsionovanoyi man" - Pharaoh king, then, had to extend the "evolution" in the strata of people "blue blood" . After all, when, and this "extended" "screen" is no longer retain "beast-men" who have ensured uniformity in all humanity grappled with the inevitable need to think as "evolve" is all.

After all, when, and this "extended" "screen" is no longer retain "beast-men" who have ensured uniformity in all humanity grappled with the inevitable need to think as "evolve" is all.
Thus, at the
intersection of these two conditions and after the destruction of tales about
"people blue blood" and the naked truth about the cake, which were
humanity in the nineteenth - early twentieth century, the then political
thought and put forward the idea of a totalitarian
society with options Nazism and communism. In these modes, seemingly due to
stay outside the new world will be born, or at least vyhovayetsya, the new man
will be internal evolution across the entire society. And then, in turn, come
new perspectives shape the economy and social life.
Different theorists
like Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche laid relevant philosophical foundations.
Thus, communism in this respect was more elaborate. First, he predicted that
due to the ideas on the shoulders of fanatics "beast-men" rebuilt for
new social reality - "socialism" to be only an intermediate step
designed to evolution, the formation of "new people". And then these
"evolyutsionovani" people will be able to further evolyutsionovuvaty
outside world and build communism. It was with the advent of new people and the
transition to communism, according to Marx, and start the real history of
mankind. Humanity in the full sense of the word, as the harmonious combination
of internal and external evolyutsionovanoyi essentially evolyutsionovanoho
world, not in the sense of society "beast-men" that torn
contradiction between animal and human essence external social and material
environment. At this point, Marx believed lasts prehistory of mankind. And I
would say that this is just a story "beast-men."
Communist ideologist
Leon Trotsky in 1917, wrote: "Humanity, homo sapiens, which froze again
goes on a radical processing and object becomes ... complicated methods of
artificial selection ... Man set himself a goal to master his own feelings,
instincts lift to the top of the minds, make them transparent ... and thereby
elevate ourselves to a new level - a higher socio-biological type, if anything,
Superman. " F. Nietzsche also some moments felt right general direction:
"Man - a bridge between animal and superman." Or in the definitions
used here can say that modern "beast-men" is a bridge, a transition
link between animals and humans.
Of course, Nietzsche
was indirectly related to Nazism. The main ideological foundations already laid
the actual creators of Nazism. They searched, including by medical, research,
genetic breeding attempts (idea SS) practical ways to create a
"superman." Nietzsche thought so much about how exactly a superman,
for it is so to speak the ideal man of the future, as stated already available,
so to speak, the division into "masters" and "slaves" and
called for the rule of "masters". That is, in fact, never discussed
the implementation of the internal evolution and consolidation of some socially
useful division of existing people, "the order of castes, the rank order -
only formulates the supreme law of life itself; separation ... needed to
support society in order to make possible higher and highest types ". The
idea of the practical implementation of the rank of
division even more utopian than totalitarianism, but not about Nietzsche's
language.
Consequently, the
Communists and the Nazis tried to practice in harsh outdoor conditions
evolyutsionovuvaty doing essentially "new man, which harmoniously combines
spiritual wealth, moral purity, and physical perfection" (from the program
of the Communist Party of the USSR
in 1962). With totalitarianism is evolyutsionovana inner core would be
identical, but externally controlled society, and thus able to upgrade by
society, the real evolution. And at first many, even among ordinary people
believed that this formula will work in the new social conditions and people
will be different...
Of course, many of
the early twentieth century., This threat of total interference in intact wild
world of inner human nature bogey. But, for the system under the name of
humanity, it gave hope to finally achieve harmony with the world. After the
chaos and horror of democracy, which only destroyed the dream of a
"paradise on earth" and gave a sense of hopelessness and despair
intervention into the inner world of a man who offered totalitarianism gave
hope for happiness, that the internal evolution which corresponds to the outer,
and raises all mankind to further development at all possible. And people
subconsciously get some peace, comfort, a sense of order and certainty,
direction, faith in the "bright future".
Naturally, in the
beginning, fanatics totalitarian regimes understand the need to exterminate
those "beast-men" who are "not aware", "do not
understand" and thus hinders new prospects and "real" history
"real" humanity, his future happiness. Therefore, destroying
opponents not from "bloodthirsty" and as a necessary measure. At
least, so say myself and it is believed. It was necessary to "iron hand
drive mankind to happiness" (popular slogan of the Russian communists in
1918-20s), so you should cross agonizing moral barriers to building a new
world, where will the new morality. First, the "builders of a new
world" had to sacrifice himself.
In the practical
implementation of these ideas and have Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini and
other "dictators" and "leaders" who by themselves had
largely to blame. These were just some people from the bones and muscles
without zhodnisinkyh superzdibnostey. They were not over people superlyudmy.
Only their fault - they could skillfully relayed and respond to the needs of
millions who nominated them, supported and die for them. Now just walk the
earth thousands, if not millions of potential and apparent Hitler, Stalin and
other "leaders", but no shocks it is. There are other people with
other views on the implementation of certain requirements, and therefore, other
repeaters and implementers of these needs. And then ...
Armed with all its ideological origins and evolved in the early twentieth century. totalitarian communism and Nazism embraces (besides terribly wrong and tragic ideas and practices) third attempt of mankind (after pharaohs and people "blue blood") to tighten internal evolution of man to the outside. Although you can count differently. It was both the first attempt to "evolve" a huge number of people with the intention of evolving humanity. It was the second option psevdoevolyutsiyi who kept on believing in the idea, but not practical scientific achievements. That is, first, religion supported the rule of pharaohs and people "blue blood" in traditional societies, then this same faith, now in a bright future, provided the dominance of the party in a totalitarian society.

So for many people
the totalitarianism carried with him a chance, believing that we can not just
go outside the cave, domesticate animals and plants, to build a state and
publish the laws, but also cease to be savages, animals internally, stop
deceiving yourself tricks or "run in place" and finally domesticate
domestic "animals and plants" as our instincts, feelings and way of
thinking, make the first evolutionary step. Here's what bore the among other
things totalitarianism. I dream that was born of necessity!
This is another thing
that these dreams melted and faith changed bitter disappointment. Because
nothing has changed. It turned out that even in severest external totalitarian
terror and control, with generous inner faith of the majority society in the
possible internal evolution is still a man, even "naypartiynisha" and
"nayideolohizovanisha" could not resist his genes, remained
"beast-man" of primitive instincts frog or hlista and desires,
emotions caveman. The idea appeared again psevdoevolyutsiyeyu. More precisely,
it is possible that under ideal and humane new external conditions, indeed, by
analogy with animals in nature, people would gradually change yourself at the
genetic level. But such changes, as evidenced by natural evolution, need very
many thousands, if not millions of years, that still makes the idea
impractical, absurd.
Watching totalitarian
society writer George Orwell wrote in 1948 a book entitled "1984" which
attempted to answer the question under which conditions would totalitarianism
continued existence. He introduces "thought police" and says that in
order to achieve stability of the system, to avoid disappointment, you need the
help of "thought police" to learn the most detailed and hard to control
yourself thoughts of every person.
He was partly right. So for the time being would be to keep the system. But there is a "but." The fact that in this case also, we are not talking about the real evolution, but only about conservation dream that rotted (when a new person) and which are corrupted form appeared cemented all-powerful machine that was designed to realize the dream. Accordingly, no new evolyutsionovanoyi and improved quality of society and economy at the same time can not be, and that all available resources will proyidatysya enormous organizational, material efforts to find "dumkozlodiyiv" and their "fix." Finally, as properly natyakayetsya in the novel (permanent reduction in food deterioration whole life), the system will go to samovysnazhennya and self-destruction.

Real USSR
unlike Oceania of Orwell books simply rotted inside after being in the 60's and
70's it became evident that no new morality, "superman" and communism
will not. In this ceased to believe even the most senior members of the party
itself punitive apparatus. The idea rotted and rotted all the apparatus that it
had to implement. And despite the fact that he had not simply reduce the power,
and under these conditions the contrary, as in Orwell, increase capacity,
because the number of "dumkozlodiyiv" quickly grew. And finally all
the riding USSR
with all state and punitive apparatus and all the people were
"dumkozlodiyamy." Nobody believed in what was done and the purpose
for which it was done. And when the system is, in consequence light breeze from
the cracks "Iron Curtain", began to collapse like a card house, no
one in the Soviet Union and not povoruhnuv
finger to save the dead do not need formal communist shell. And all this
totalitarian system maintained by the state, whose image is cited in other fear
disappeared quietly, quietly, and in a few seconds as the state itself. In its
place emerged the state back to the old as mankind, the principle of national
cultural differences.
Bitterly disappointed
in totalitarianism and authoritarianism (simpleton shadow of totalitarianism),
humanity, including the post-totalitarian state, doomed returned to democracy,
capitalism and moral rods "civil society", if any. Other variants of
humanity simply not seen. This depressed and desperate hopelessness concluded
in 1947 speaking in Parliament, Prime Minister Winston Churchill: "I often
have heard that democracy - the worst way to control the state, but all the
other ways that mankind has ever tried to worse" . The same can be said
about capitalism. Although forced choice capitalism Winston Churchill
obhrutnuvav differently: "The main flaw of capitalism - the unequal
distribution of wealth, and the main positive socialism - even distribution of
misery."
Such a thinker
and an expert on our internal nature, as Sigmund Freud just could not find a
way out of the trap and skeptical about the possibility of saving humanity from
this trap. He could offer except that "cosmetic" means like
"psychoanalytic therapy and properly organized socialization" of
people, who, it seems, did not particularly believe.
Trap - unmet need in the internal evolution, the compensation gap with external evolution persists, and as I wrote only becomes critical acuity that can not last long. Moreover, after totalitarianism and other minor failed attempts this need becomes more experienced. Not bought on regular fantasy, such as the fact that the so-called indigo children are the "new" evolyutsionovanu race people and similar stories psevdoevolyutsiyi. This need no longer believe in the possibility of training a "new man" that will make "new society" in the version of totalitarianism or in versions Erich Fromm and other "good" "utopian thinkers."
But in reality there is. But not so, which dream romance that believe in the victory of good and reasonable principle in the current person. No, I'm talking about a real solution for survival. Although generally there are three.

3. Our options
The first is the
simplest and awkward - suicide by nuclear, chemical, biological or other
weapons, or some "unexpected" human disaster. As I said trap gap
between the inner core and the outer material evolution has long been made of
us a monkey with a grenade. In fact, this path is suicide, "minus".
The second way is a
little complicated and too unpromising. Do not commit suicide, but only
"to suppress." With the same weapons of total war or something else,
to destroy in varying degrees, all of the existing world, social structure,
economy and so on. And these fragments start over, or at least on the level at
which we reject ourselves. The path is not as deadly as the previous one, but
not progressive, because essentially it is a repetition of the same path that
has been only in the new version, but without qualitative changes. In fact it
is rebooting, running in circles, cycles, "zero."
The third way -
finally make real evolution, "plus". Albert Einstein once claimed
that "we need a radically new way of thinking that humanity has
survived." And help us in the new manner of thinking really can not hope
for millions of years of natural evolution in the internal external new
conditions and relatively fast artificial evolution of man himself of his inner
self, psychology, and eventually the body.
It is now becoming
increasingly clear that this internal change will be using scientific
technology that will perform and record changes at the genetic level, or
perhaps even once. But these changes will actually (and not as in
totalitarianism) controlled and those that will be edited society in one way or
another. Over time, these changes will take certain strategic direction
humanity outline what it wants, who wants to improve, remove or add the inner
nature of man. These guidelines will be chosen according to economic,
political, military, medical and other appropriate, including taking into
account the need to reduce crime and so on.
Gradually, after
getting some positive results, these changes will affect critical enough set of
people that will change, evolve all the society further, including offering new
levels of social structure, economy, politics, culture and more. Perhaps that
will change the way not only our internal psychological parameters, but also
intelligent and very body. Moreover, do not rule out a genetic
"modernization" of man will begin with the body (life expectancy, the
elimination of most diseases, perhaps correction of reproduction, etc.).
Basically now we see
a number of signs that scenario. I will not repeat a lot of recent research
results in this direction. This can be read anywhere. Note that both of these
impressive results, the world's growing number of supporters of intervention,
change human nature at the genetic level. While this is mostly a narrow circle
of intellectuals (scientists, philosophers, astronomers, etc.) which are known
as "transhumanisty." And their ideas will gain political relevance as
long as practicable and useful for the economy, politics, health, security and
other systems of society will not be proved experimentally by scientists, and
need to move in this direction will not be approved to a certain critical mass
of society. But pass this saving way we can just make it.
What is. The first
two ways, actually, though each in his make out the "end of history"
of mankind, or more accurately, "beast-men." Although the specifics
of the second path is that it is unstable and can both always be in a cyclic
mode and end in the first or third option. But only a third way gives new
perspectives societies formations, relations, and follow the story.
Which way we go? It
is not known, despite the fact that many pointing to the first option. But
before you go any of these ways, we will probably still be a small chance to
stretch in the state in which we are now. So technically, we may still be able
to develop something without going into any of the ways. Including the social
evolution possible attempt to make "cosmetic surgery" through
additional deepening of forced social and political differentiation among
people.
What I have in mind.
For example, now you can prevent educate children chronic alcoholics and drug
addicts. It is also forbidden to elect government entities to 18-21 years (as
elsewhere). In some countries, there are other limitations. But I think that
the attempt to somehow "cosmetic" prolong the existence of our world
in its present form will result in the expansion of various social constraints
and therefore scientifically, politically, economically, socially grounded
privileges to others. This includes training new people and to participate in
the organization of government, elections, etc.. May be administered to other
restrictions that anyway, will try timidly to build some small features
socially fixed and recognized social inequality, hierarchy.
I do not exclude that
humanity once again come to rake "psevdoevolyutsiyi" zlipyvshy together
all idle is junk. I mean both the above "cosmetic" measures and
vysokohumannu "socialization" and upgraded totalitarianism, at least
in the form of a "world government", which will extend its monopoly
will (of course, the name of a great purpose - to save mankind) all state of
the world. Regarding the latter, the idea of these "rake" gives information about the recommendations
announced in June 2012 at the UN Conference in Rio de Janeiro on Sustainable Development.
They released a report more than thirty scientists from leading universities 13
countries (March 16, this year it was published in the online edition of
"Science» (Science). Reports devoted 10 years of evaluation capacity of
international organizations to address only environmental issues (including the
climate). Scientists have found that in order to protect themselves from
disaster "humanity must change course," so you need to radically
strengthen international institutions. So it is essentially about the prospects
of 'strong global arms "world government that will govern many issues (
economy, the environment, weapons, technology and so on) life all over the
world. Formally, it may look like a "government scientists",
"wise" who "save humanity." But really, it's nothing
fundamentally solve and under sink all faults thinking "beast-men"
and therefore not only shall lead us back from the brink, but may accelerate
it.
Any, even scientifically substantiated and motivated "salvation of mankind" external compulsion upon the nature of man completely hopeless and in today's dangerous. But it would be a shame if in order to understand this, humanity once again have to pay a high price. In addition, this price may be far greater than the price totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century and perhaps posthumously.

In addition, this price may be far greater than the price totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century and perhaps posthumously.
To me, any attempt
yet somehow extend outwardly "nice" to increase the gap between the
evolution, nothing radically changing the very nature of man, resembling a
modern development of medicine. When she tuzhytsya, tuzhytsya makes fantastic innovations
to prolong life, but really only continues to a maximum of "healthy"
part of the continued life span for which medicine can not affect. That life
expectancy reaches 80-90 years, but ... It does nothing radically. Not
lengthened life expectancy, age and duration. In 70 years, man would still be
living if she 70, and not when she was 30 or 40. And the reason to live in a
period of 80-120 years highly conditional, doubtful, "philosophical"
and has some useful practical significance for mankind. In this case, the
current approach medicine for external treatment of the body to increase the
real life impossible. As recognized one of the founders of The Gerontology
Research Group, the world famous association of scientists concerned with
longevity, MD Stephen Coles, "it seems that the genome level, there is an
invisible barrier that prevents Homo Sapiens live longer than 125 years."
Similarly, attempts
to further improve the external world (social, material) in our trap is
"cosmetic" measures only pull us "cheeks", remove wrinkles,
make gloss, give a false illusion of control, but really did not solve. We -
the old ones. Current status is age of mankind, we just keep it the end of
history "beast-men." Do not change for the better and nothing new
will. Nothing ... except death or, at best, a return to the past. If, of
course, we do not have time to pull themselves out of the trap in the same way
that drove - using his own intelligence to change nature. Only now - inside.
But still there are
those who think that democracy, modern "social" capitalism and
"human rights" in their current "humane" form will lead
humanity to continue through the millennium. If you're among them, you -
utopian, and I'm not talking to you.
4. Nuances
"third" way
What happens if we still
go a third way? I do not rule out that because of some fatal errors it may also
result in the transition to the first or the second way. But there is one
fundamental point. This is the only way that is "active", provides a
linear, directed evolution, which is guided by the man himself, or rather the
human mind, not the world of wild natural internal laws of mind, instincts or
foreign laws wildlife. That is the only way that will be monitored by
intelligence, namely Meanwhile quality that has got us this far in the external
social and material evolution of our natural environment.
Therefore, as
demonstrated external evolution, while the third, "active" version,
despite the inevitable mistakes, we have a better chance not just to save
himself, eliminating the gap between domestic and wild natural world outside
antypryrodnym and continue to improve their lives (this time and both internal
and external), significantly increase their chances of survival and all further
development, whatever it is we uyavlyavsya.
What will happen to
the remnants of the external and internal nature, I do not know. For external
nature, however, only the first option, ie self-destruction of mankind is a
"plus" that depends on it, and accordingly has any future. World
Conservation Union, the International Botanical Congress, and most biologists
in the world believe that global mass extinction of biological species on the
planet already underway. In 1998, the campaign sociological Harris Poll found
that of 5,000 members of the American Institute of Biological Sciences 70%
believe that it is being what they call "The Sixth Extinction".
Both other ways
threaten mankind naturally be dependent on the mercy of a person from its
decisions, successes and mistakes. An interesting and tragic opposite
interdependence. The inner nature of man, all those animal instincts, emotions,
thinking too will defend, oppose intervention in them. Maybe they also retain
as certain internal psychological "reserves", "zoo" for
fun.
If we still have time
to reach awareness need to move to the third way, before discard or destroy
themselves at some distant level will be useful to us in three basic aspects
that need to swallow a pill.
The first aspect. It
is important to remember that the history of humanity and the totalitarianism
of the twentieth century, in particular, have shown the need to
"flip" scheme. The first step is to think how to evolve the person,
and then new people have evolved outside world. It suits a saying that you can
use in a democracy: each nation has its own government. That is the whole
point, the nature of external life, comes from the inner nature of man, and not
vice versa inner nature of man - from the external social, economic structure,
as thought the Communists. Of course everything is interconnected, and carries
out mutual influence, but decisive, dominant in the time span of a hundred
years is the man himself, not the environment. First, because of certain
circumstances, a monkey under constant external vivo increased intelligence and
then she started to change the environment, not vice versa - someone
artificially changed the environment and society in an unusual monkey turned to
man. More confused the order we can not. Too painful mistake.
The second aspect.
Should cease to pray for "human rights" in their current form. These
rights have become an icon, a sacred fetish fanaticism democracy and modern
capitalism. I understand that most people are scared to leave this icon,
because it seems that nothing "holy" and left to come some hell. But
if you're not naive romance, you can understand that if such fear would be
stronger than our self-love, then God forbid that we went only to "running
in circles" second path. But it may end in suicide. Democracy and
"human rights" can not be an end in itself and self-worth. V.Cherchyl
was on his right, but he just did not see another option. He looked at what was
in and out of the contemporary conditions that prevented technical feasibility
of evolving man. But do not think that most would agree on the fact that his
words were soon epitaph on the grave of mankind.
The third aspect. If
we change the inner nature of man as well as a changed environment, no action
"against God" we do not. Nothing sinful and wrong. At least, the old
shaman tens of thousands of years ago also said that attempts to subdue the
power of lightning, or possession of fire is encroaching on the "scope of
God." I do not think it would be better he would think of our mobile phone
or poultry. No, we have long escaped this prejudice about "the scope of
God" and change the whole outside world, including the nature of the way
we need. Otherwise we would not have what we have now.
If anyone think that
this is wrong ... Maybe. But, in this case not to disturb the harmony with
nature and God, we ought to stand on its own level with animals, naked in the
wild woods, where there is natural selection.
The inner world as
well as external, not created by us and intervention, change it as initially
frightening as the first external changes, but ... We - though the beast-men,
not animals and live in harmony with the inner or outer world, not possible
reworking it for themselves, or unezalezhnyvshys what can not be changed or
dangerous, it is not our choice. Unfortunately or fortunately.
And he who believes
that man evolyutsionovanyy inner wild world will be boring or scary .. Well, I
do not know ... And asphalt than grass? And all of our external world, compared
with the wild nature of our ancestors did not boring and terrible? But he likes
us so that we all strive every moment to make it still more technically,
socially comfortable for us and far from the natural environment and
"boring". And no one, except some "crazy" (as most of their
calls) will not voluntarily return to the "interesting" life in an
interesting natural environment devoid of evolutionary reached people forget.
Most people do not
feel unnatural, human comfort and social environment that we evolved
artificially unacceptable for us. On the contrary, most people feel that
evolution took place correctly and it should continue to make it even easier,
more comfortable, safer, and so on. Grows only "psychosis" through
the gap savage inner world and outer evolution. We can not satisfy the
domestic, wild, neevolyutsionovanyy world. Growing demand Mendeleev and Newton inner wild world.
The last thing I
would venture to predict if our transition to the third way will then be
catalyzed before some big shocks, such as war or even a man-made disaster and
will be held as usual is not very smooth. Many people will be categorically
against "evolution of people." Do not rule out opposition supporters
and opponents of evolution, or is the most "evolyutsionovanyh" and
"beast-men." In what ways will this conflict and who wins - a dark
forest of fantasy. Do not go there now. We have much to do today.
Note: We always use the word evolution. However, in reality this is not true. In fact, it is about selection. What is the difference. Basically nothing substantial. And here and there purposefully selected some money and destroyed others in the name of a certain goal - improvement, improvement. The only difference in the "customer" - for someone better and better and believe that this improvement. If nature, if environmental conditions and requirements it some improvements that are selected and controlled by nature, if it is a human need and then selects and controls in an external human social and material world (or in the future - the inner psychological world and body) the same person. This whole difference. But because of changing customer methods do not change, I used the term evolution, not selection, which has a subjective reason for many not so positive color.
