    About this ebook

    Inevitably, higher order thinking lends itself and begets a higher degree of 'self-interest' while evident from more successful species including cockroaches, ants and bacteria, one enormous benefit of instinct seems to be a balance that lends itself to both the collective and individual needs and their historical and evolutionary success.

      What do anti-vaxxers and anti-GMO campaigners have in common? Underpinning both “antis” is a shared belief that because vaccines and GMOs are “unnatural,” they’re bad, which for many people—whatever their feelings about vaccines and GMOs—segues into

      Mar 10, 2021

      One reason for our relentless "culture wars" and anxieties about "cancel culture" might be our misguided sense of what culture is — and how easily we can change it. We used to frame everything in terms of "nature versus nurture." Either something was

      Unique to our species, Homo-Sapien possesses the capacity of thoughtful, purposeful reflection.To our knowledge, no other animal of any family or species has a similar capacity however this is more likely owing to the insufficiency of our science and understanding rather than all vertebrates lacking what we have always called uniquely 'human'.

      In the long view, the history of man's story is inconclusive and not generally defined by greatness.There have been magnificent successes, ask any parent of a newborn, and stunning failures, war, genocide and poverty.Like most of the lesser phylum, if we look closely enough there is ample evidence of extraordinary promise and hope, but too, with the smallest turn of the lens, unbelievable examples of shameful horror, unnecessary meanness and a brutality more severe and with less logic than possessing most any of the 'lesser species' behavior.

      Imagine if the benefit of the power of self reflection is no more or less than an evolutionary tool not yet mastered, which will aide us in having the apparent equilibrium as we see all about us and possessed by all forms of biota, vertebral and invertebrate.Some would suggest the equilibrium we lack is manifest even the macro events of earth, tectonic plate movement, and in the very engine of the universe itself, energy and thermodynamics.

      How curious then to look around, seeing in the span of our brief few hundred thousand years, a species who has lost the balance and equilibrium most species gain through evolution and in turn structure, in a complex non linear way, into their very DNA and genotype.

      Most animals have already learned and committed to deep, instinctive memory what we have systematically lost.

      Most animals unbelievably possess, on an almost cellular level, what we humans had and through learning or behavior, choice or mistake, have given up.

      In the small iterations of man's behavior, there are moments of glory for most all, though some face privation all of their lives and find death a relief.
