Evolution comes in many forms. Natural selection is only one aspect. We, humans, became smart out of necessity. We have weak bodies. Other creatures already took the good physical traits. We could not compete. We defeated the beasts long ago, yet we did not stop evolving intellectually. The lion does not need ultra-sharp razor-claws. It has them because evolution does not stop. Even when you can survive without any real fear of extinction, evolution continues sharpening your claws.
If we, the United States, were to re-structure our Constitution today, taking evolution fully into account, how would it be? Will we, the United States, have to re-structure our Constitution, taking evolution fully into account, if we want to compete with other nations?
What do you think love is? You love cookies, you hate cookies, you're in love with a person... the first two are basic brain functions. The third is a direct product of evolution. Some argue it is like adrenaline - an internal drug. It produces little or no harmful side-effects because we have lived with it for so long. Narcotics produce side-effects, some deadly if you are not careful, because to our bodies, narcotics are alien. If we continue using narcotics, the harmful side-effects will disappear. Why is there a 'war on drugs'? Because of religious idiots who deny evolution, and believe drugs are not tools, but rather spawns of Satan. The nations which more quickly adapt to drug-use will be better off in the long-run. The anti-drug people believe love comes from God, not from evolution, and is somehow supernatural. As love is almost certainly a drug, like a narcotic without harmful side-effects, the anti-drug people are not only completely and utterly ridiculous and wrong, they are also doing great damage to their nations by holding back the inevitability of evolutionary progress. Drugs are the future - tools of the interior, of the mind, rather than of the exterior body. The sooner we master these tools, the better off we will be.
If you do no drugs, you will go to heaven. If you are bad, you go to hell. If you are the victim of someone bad, you get nothing. Let's say your spouse gets murdered. What happens to them? Do they go to heaven? Maybe they were on their way to confession when they got murdered? According to some organized religions, they would go to hell because they were murdered before they were forgiven by God's appointee's. And what happens to you? Maybe the murderer is caught and imprisoned? Not much of a concession. Maybe tax payers should give you a million dollars, because they failed to prevent your spouse's murder? Out of the multiple available options, which would be the best evolutionary path? Can we effectively chart an evolutionary course? Evolution can be a painful process, but when you reach your destination, your survival is more secured.
Survival is what it's all about. The lustful sex you cherish so sluttily. The filet mignon you savor over gluttonously. The money you kill millions to attain. Nations are here for the same reason. If you have no nation, you can easily be conquered by a nation. Evolution is an integral part of survival. Women, on average, prefer eating plants because in nature, men kept the meat for themselves. As you see today, real survival is almost non-existant. Instead, we have social survival. Sometimes men who are not particularly masculine, and are vegetarian, will be characterized as homosexual. Sexuality has nothing to do with diet, although maybe the weaker men, in nature, were denied meat. As survival is our main striving point, moreso than most understand, certainly the nations which adopt a full policy of evolutionary inclusion will better survive than the rest.
Some people believe perfection can be achieved. They are called Quake players. These elitists believe Quake, in its five year-old form, is perfect in every way. These people are wrong. The same people populate the website esreality.com. We find in both Quake and esreality, there is no evolution. Both have become nearly extinct. The seasons will change. You cannot stop the galaxy from moving. What you can do, is prepare for what lies ahead. Evolution or extinction, make your choice. Perpetual stagnation can only result in extinction. As new organisms, alien organisms, become more powerful, you must evolve to defeat them.
In your nation, is evolution an intricate part of your government? If not, your nation may be in danger. You must keep in mind, you only have two choices: evolution or extinction. There are many ways to evolve, and many ways to die. In our 'complex' modern age, evolution must be part of individual life and collective nationalism. The nation that does not evolve will lag behind so much they will certainly be conquered.
The end.
