What's the worth of authority if it's based on a lie?

Gleichberechtigung funktioniert wie eine Waage. - Man muss sich auf die Mitte konzentrieren um die Balance zu finden.

Equality works as a scale. - You have to concentrate on the middle to find the balance.

Inspired by quantum physics, I think the following:

The movement of an individual initiates a group dynamic. Group dynamics initiates movement of an individual. This sends waves of change through the society. These waves can subside quickly or gain momentum. Successful waves are percieved as 'revolutions' . Be it political, cultural or technological. The control of the society requires the manipulation of such waves. For their own purposes harmful waves must be inhibited, useful strengthened. The only question is - who controls these waves and what is considered 'useful'. One can, provided sufficient intellect, just come to the conclusion that these are nowadays the wrong guys. The false controlers and the wrong motives.

Let's have a civilized debate - what are the solutions?

Evolution at it's end? Where is the Neo Sapiens?

Evolution shows, the brain evolved. It evolved from a primitive ape like form to a 1 Teraflop per second Super brain. That was enough to develop civilization, scripture, culture, art - we even reached the moon and allegedly found the Higgs Bosom.

However - our social skills lack almost all sustainable features that are needed to reach the next level - Equality and peace!

Are we too happy to evolve further? Not enough need for change? I have a heating in winter, a fridge for food, hot water as needed - does that close the door on evolution?

Let's see. The driving force for evolution has indeed a duality in it's perception - some perceive it, as described above, as a need, necessity out of misery - if you are happy, you will stay as you are. But although this is true, it's not the right equivalent for evolutional progressive forces - if they even exist.

The second perception is - accidental occurances that happen to be successfull in changing environments. So like dogs - there was a time when bulldogs did not exist - some humans felt the need for a big dog and breeded them (replacing the 'accident' with intention here). Other, older dog breeds died out because too many people used the new races. The Bulldog was a success, others went extinct.

Back to us, the humans, I realize while typing, the following questions are complicated - some might be worried this would go into eugenics - but far from that, I try to analyze a perspective on our future evolution. These questions have to be asked right now, so bare with me. Do such breeds exists for humans? Are the races Caucasions, Africans Asians, etc.. these breeds? Political correctness answers this with a firm no - let's agree to this. I don't think our focus on evolution should depend on such questions - it should focus on the DOES it happen at all and why would it happen!

I think personally - opinion alarm - someday, a baby will be born, that has enhanced social skills and a better understanding of community. I don't care what ethnics this kid will be - it will be a human world citicen. If this baby manages to get out of highschool without beeing killed, manages to get a education that enables him/her to become elected in his/her country, we all will be some lucky mofos. Because then, and only then, our evolution is on it's way. But as long as only crucks and liars are born, raised and elected - our future might as well be called the "Boys from Brazil reloaded" featuring Ted Cruz and his minions. - end opinion.

Let's entertain this idea of an evolved human for a moment as if it was a valid theory - ok?

Why would this baby be born? Welcome back to the duality. Either, because we need better social skills or just because of accidental, mutational luck. Chances are the latter is true - the former would need a intervention of some intelligence - ....let's just assume that will not happen, ok? :-) You all know my views on religion. So focus back on the luck - can you see the problem we have? Luck can take a long time - millenias, maybe longer. And luck - or shall I say badluck could also produce more of the other mutations - Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot. Hmm - these guys merrit some speculations actually: Let's think positive and assume both accidents happen more often and did allready often happen.

We had some pretty awesome guys in the history allready - most of them are called saints today (Church had a good human recource department - you've gotta grant em that, almost like google - all good guys where there.)

I've got an example - the Dalay Lama - a good guy - if we all would be like him, the world would be a smiling, happy, little afternoon party with good talks. But wait - that guy has no kids!!!!!!! How the hell did we come to the idea to end our own evolution with celibates?

Ok ok - there is no need to assume that the first Neo Sapiens will appeare in history-books and not merely be a guy/girl from the next corner. However - we life in a civilized world - almost overcivilized. I bet this fact will affect our evolution..

But imagine - the nice kid next door could be the very first Neo Sapien that saves the world - so don't kill that kid or any kid for that matter - ok?

End of braindropping..

We all know that, only the acknowledgement of one's own insignificance will teach you, to acknowledge the importance of life. Can we deduce from this that contradiction, is inherent to nature or merely inherent to humans?

The 3D printer will be the crowbar that initiates the downfall of our society as we know it.

..quote me on that! You'll see within approximately 5-10 years. 80% of all production jobs worldwide will be lost until than. Even the cloth industry in Bangladesh will be gone.

To feed the millions of workless, we need the unconditional basic income UBI!

Have any better ideas? Let me know..
