Our Final Destiny

Men behave as fetuses in the womb that is the Universe. It owes them everything they want and are able to chase and get. If men don’t get what they want, they can punish anything or anyone they wish in the manner they wish.

Women try to be the Universal womb, but everything is their fault and they are not listened to. They tread water and adapt as best they can. Their choices are severely limited by existential threats set up by men.

This mental scenario has been played out among humans for as long as we have records. Go ahead. Use google to find historical records, not just in the field of history, but do read widely among literary, scientific, religious, and practical skill tomes. Deliberately query sex differences, social hierarchies by sex, and sex-based political and economic power. Expect the Q-Anon fear phase as you do your research. If you persist, nuances will develop in your thinking, which will shift your world construct from good versus evil into other, often very different, forms.

What final destiny awaits a race that is self-defined in the manner described above?

Any destiny created by living beings is based on how well they have adapted to their respective external environments. If they adapt efficiently, making constructive use of opportunities while overcoming limitations, their destiny will be the success of survival over geological time. Cyanobacteria have existed for up to 3.5 billion years here on planet Earth, blue among the Stars.

Cyanobacteria are asexual. No arguments over dinner.

Humans are very sexual. Many arguments over dinner.

Humans are also highly hierarchical in terms of social status and power. We have rulers who are absolute in their ability to impose themselves on the People in many absolute ways.

But, back to the ranch.

Because other living creatures on Earth are, in general, uninterested in us and don’t give us anything we want, we have chased, captured, and punished them to have our way in various ways for as long as we have records (see the above-mentioned records). We have reshaped landscapes to capture water and plunder the Earth for materials to build our civilizations.

Instead of adapting to our environment, we have adapted our environment to us.

Similarly, our rulers have adapted the People to them whenever possible. They have used us as workers and soldiers, mothers and sex workers, for a long time now. We do push back, which provides rulers with the opportunity to punish and establish limitations on pushback.

Thus, rulers punish workers and soldiers, mothers and sex providers (the People), as they see fit. The People resist being caged because living beings resist being treated as non-living beings. Put a rock in the middle of a fenced area. It doesn’t care. The living being caged in a fence cares and will escape if possible.

Thus among the Living, there is always resistance to being caged, which empowers rulers to punish often. Further, ruler reward bestowal is chary and political at all levels of society, as any life lived in comfort produces more pushback than lives lived in fear and discomfort. The Living must be kept pushed down.

But Life pushes us to move forward at all times. To bloom. To run free. To do something or nothing as needed. To explore. To change as needed.

To hold living beings immovable in mental or physical cages, as is the custom in Earth societies in general, is to be anti-Life.

Is it efficacious to be anti-Life when the changes occasioned by Life moving through the living are what we must adapt to over the long course of time? What sort of destiny does being anti-Life as our main social driver predict for humans?

I’ll leave you to your cogitations and research on that question, and wish you a good day on this Father’s Day, 2021.
