When it comes to the evolution of the human race and the innovation of new technologies and commodities there are two means of bettering and expounding our species. It can be divided amoungst inter-racial evolution and extra-racial evolution.
The more commonly unrecognized of the two is extra-racial which we will call "eR". eR is, in example, things like manifest destiny and dominion over animals; our sense of entitlement to own more land and become the dominant race here on earth. eR is why we have begun a genocide of animals who supply fast and efficient means of nourishment. It is why Europeans took over and evicted the Native Americans from their homes. eR evolution is why human beings are abundant worldwide.
Inter-racial evolution, which we will call "iR", has a few more complexities that i will touch on. The different ways humans go about iR are the topics that are fought in politics, and even boil down to the everyday decisions people make. there are two types of iR. The first is population or the preservation of the populous. The second is Innovation or "survival of the fittest." We will call the former "PiR" and the Latter "SiR."
Now, PiR is most commonly supported in today's society. It is the type of evolution that is supported by the majority of archaic and modern religions. PiR is the idea that we, the only race of human beings, should support the growth of our population and the betterment of the individual. For example, PiR would suggest that persons with defects or illnesses should have the chance to reproduce. This, ostentatiously, makes our race weaker, but the mind set is they are human beings just as us, and they deserve an equal opportunity. Another example being welfare. Someone who supports welfare is in turn subscribing to PiR. They believe that we should help the needy and keep the middle class strong. "Level the playing field" per say. Other issues such as abortion, world hunger, and over population must choose either PiR or SiR.
SiR is a very controversial and to some scary idea. It is the complete opposite of PiR and leaves no room for compassion, liberty, or the idea of justice. One may not realize but many of the dictators and the racial exterminators of history had the SiR mind set. Consider Adolf Hitler, trying to purify the German race and killing off any exceptions to what was considered the optimal human being.
I do not wish to go too in depth into all the issues that relate (directly or indirectly) to iR. Homosexuality abortion, health care, foreign affairs, small vs. large government, marriage, murder, avarice; absolutely everything can boil down to either PiR or SiR. Once a human being grasps this concept, which is not easy, they are able to understand the reasons and consequences for all decisions and actions. Our race has been, for the majority of recorded history, a species that subscribes to PiR, which is promoted by most religions and many societal standards.
Only the famous, the rich, the known, the powerful, and the enlightened truly subscribe to SiR, mainly because the only way to achieve one of these attributes is to understand the game that is the evolution of mankind. This concept was put into different terms at the dawn of intelligence. This concept is translated into a battle between good and evil. A war between saving your soul and selling it. What we choose is what effects our overall races evolution. The truth is, for our exceptional level of intellect, we have been evolving exceptionally slowly. This is caused by the preconceived notions and conditions by which, from a child, we are told and brainwashed to follow.
There is no true freedom. It is all conditioned. Some may be republicans and others democrats. This is a ploy, and this ploy is what gives us our sense of freedom of choice, when in all actuality our freedom is still limited. Why is it that I can be excepted as a member of a particular political party but as soon as my ideals begin dipping into the communist agenda (which aligns to SiR standards), I am no longer free to express what I believe. Our sense of entitlement is a complete and utter facade.
Our whole lives; a facade. Our understanding, our logic, our morals, our souls; gone as the passing waves;
As misunderstood as the reason for reality itself.
