ill listless egoists

"Homo homini lupus - Man is a wolf to man, Thomas Hobbes said 400 years ago. From state-theoretical perspective, perhaps even justifiable, that is anthro and sociologically very wrong. Not only has he "insulted one of the most sociable and most loyal cooperators in the animal kingdom - and such a loyal, that our ancestors domesticated it wisely" (quote from here ). But the quote is the man who - in addition to all its cruelty - is a thoroughly social and altruistic nature, is also in a false light dar. The compassion, the desire to help others, we socialize with others and in our genes and deep-rooted. But unfortunately, probably not for long.

Our current living conditions have in fact removed from the original so much that the millions of years old mechanisms that made us what we are today, now work differently. Therefore, people will change in the near future - and eventually mutate to ill, listless egoists. Sad, is not it?

sick Why? - If we invent better drugs and treatment methods, we take into natural selection. If a child predisposed to myopia (like me) used to eat from the nearest tigers or at least significantly reduced reproductive opportunities, it now gets a fashionable glasses and other equivalent in the biological "fitness". This idea can be generalized. By the - to ensure basic medical care, we prevent natural selection - no doubt a moral imperative so that the gene pool "dirty". Since such "unfavorable" genes are passed, there will be more and more people with more and more aches and pains.

listless Why? - Well, a lecher has previously fathered 20 children in his life, which then wore each of the genes in the libertine (we keep for simplicity in men). These genes were then already numerically an advantage over the wallflower-philosopher, the only wrong three times in his life with a passionate declamation of Thomas Hobbes with a woman and was a lonely child in the world. Today it's different. Since the sensualist can avoid using the latest scientific knowledge simply, it is his Lust, enjoy themselves without getting 20 children. His genes have thus the same statistical distribution opportunities as the wallflower-philosopher. The average sexual desire in the general population will thus decrease with each generation.

What most frightens me, however, is also the next general genetic selfishness. A gene is basically only interested in his own distribution, so basically selfish. All of us familiar forms of altruism and self-sacrifice (donations to helpless, cooking for friends, helping the old lady crossing the street) are - you should not be surprised - that's why only one instance of this same genetic selfishness.

Altruism has evolutionsbioliogische namely two statements - the reciprocal altruism and group selection . The correct assumption of the two, is that people and their ancestors used to always lived in smaller groups . The reciprocal altruism developed as a kind of insurance - I scratch your back and wasting my resources for you, because you know me, you remember the massage and the next time you revanchierst. The group selection is different - we are all in this small group related to each other quite closely, it's worth it for my own selfish genes, me for altruistic Behavior to move. Because if I lose my life to protect my group in front of the big bad wolf, the more or less the same genes of my family will survive from the group. So my genes made copies save in my aunt and my distant cousin, sacrificing myself. Sent, but effective. We are of course one always to have acted from higher motives, but actually it is these genetically branded conduct.

And these millions of years old genetic mechanism is abolished in more and more of us now. Why? - Because the small groups are no longer there. People live in huge collections. If I am an old grandmother who has fallen down on the street, not help, then this will interest no one. I will perhaps look at passers-by evil, but because neither they nor the grandmother know who I am, they can "exclude" do not punish me or otherwise. Even my relatives and genetic similarity with the neighbors out of my panel is pretty straightforward. To them I need not worry about me because I do not favor that the copies of my own genes, but any that concern me. As the extended family than those in Western societies at risk of extinction, there is virtually no evolutionary pressure further to act altruistically. People are always selfish to support their lifestyles, without meaning to.

Our children and grandchildren as sick, listless egoists - where's my cyanide ..? Or - maybe we should just be good to each other and care for each other while we are still inclined to that?

Y tu Mama

the left here, dear reader, is a very familiar face to you. It is, to be exact, the first face that you perceive in your life. Yes, you have misunderstood me - it's your mother. And no, I will not insult your mother still keep you or me crazy. Let me tell you. I bet I can prove it.



If babies are born, they are in a state of shock. Instead is a dark warm liquid all-inclusive hotels are light and smells and screams (usually their own) and cold. The right to life begins so stressful. Yes, because if one could look right first time ... And there starts the problem: Newborns do not see much. Perhaps we remember the first time because the eyes have been built in the course of evolution rather nonsensical. Not only is the wrong image on the retina around arrives. Not only does the light before it hits the photoreceptors, by no fewer than six cell layers including blood vessels must pass our "raw image" so clouded and streaked with red threads. No, the poor Infant has to have such bad eyesight that there would be no single driving license test: it is short-sighted and only see up to a distance of a mother's outstretched arm (more so it must not be seen). Its not enough, he can also not distinguish between colors and has extreme focusing problems , so that the image is blurred and without details. Furthermore, a newborn is suffering under severe astigmatism , so the picture just at the edges distorted is. In short, the baby looks really beautiful ... Lecht. It must also see the other's not good because his mom does the rest improve Moreover, the visual defects within months to the normality of.

But how does a baby because then the mother's face? In the light of the above visual defects, the psychologist Frederick Malmstrom a photo of a normal woman like this has worked:




Oblong colorless face with prominent eyes, high forehead, long nose and no facial and skin details - it does not fit the typical image of Alien similar? Malmstrom draws the interesting conclusion that the - mostly obtained under hypnosis - images of aliens in our brains unconsciously stored "model image" of a person present, that helps us seen after the birth of our mother as such. Whether the simmt, further studies will be reserved. However, it is a bit weird that the man who looks like our closest, warmest and most intimate, is for us shortly after birth as a monster. So because of the Oedipus complex ...

The Messiah

Let's see if you can guess the person on whom I will tell you the same. The story should be familiar to you, and you come on it determined.

The person is more a myth. No one knows if they ever existed. According to tradition it was a very special man who could do all sorts of miracles. He disappeared, but promised to return and usher in a new era in which all will live happily with each other and no one will miss something. He had spent several disciples who knew him, including one particularly zealous missionary was, is and has been around much convinced many people, the new religion, whose distinctive mark a cross join. The teachings of the Prophet included about the commandment to be kind to one another to follow customs that held together the community, and all material things, especially money, to attach any great significance. In the beginning was the fresh beliefs suppressed by the former occupying power - the new leader of the cult were arrested, in jail plugged and harassed. The religion survived, and flourishes to this day so much more away, in constant expectation of the return of the Messiah, but whose spirit dwells among us and pray as long as the can.

Well guess? - Jesus? Far from it! He speaks of the holy John Frum of the island of Tanna in the Melanesian island nation of Vanuatu. The " Jo (h) n Frum (From) - movement" was in the 40s of last century, when American soldiers came in droves to the islands in order to establish military bases in the war against Japan. The natives were on the capabilities of the new arrivals so excited - especially the fact that suddenly out of the air cargo giant arrived from food, tools, weapons, medicines and other goods (cargo) by air. The only apparent unusual activities which were going about the white people, but just sitting in the control tower with headphones, the waving signal flags at the airstrip and the rolling paper in the office. Since none of these activities immediately produced the desired goods, the natives concluded that there were magical acts that required the gods to get out of the air, out of nowhere to drop cargo. The Melanesians tried to imitate the actions of whites - it did not. Irgenwas they had to have done wrong. As the soldiers War, withdrew incurred, various "cargo cults " of which the most successful of the John Frum is attributed. Evil to him who thinks of soldiers who introduced himself as "John from America". Whether it's a John or more were, at least melted together from the whole story by the end of a mythical figure who as described above is revered .

The "John Frum - Religion is a minor cult on islands at the end of the world who are interested in any. But what if it would have been a more powerful state, which would have the faith then established as the state religion and spread it out? Would we then perhaps all "Frumisten"? And if so, what would be the difference in content to Christianity, Islam, etc., except that the prophets and the saints were called differently? One thing is clear: Who is a man who has a bad temper and needs a bit of confirmation you should get a ticket to Tanna, 15 February (the John Frum Day) get onto the plane and introduce himself as John Frum, holding in his hand a few New Year's Eve fireworks. Then the day is immediately saved. "Air New Zealand " already flies from 1300 €.
