“The fateful process of civilization would ... have set in with man’s adoption of an erect posture.” — Sigmund Freud, Civilization and Its Discontents

“Civilized man has exchanged a portion of his possibilities of happiness for a portion of security.” — Sigmund Freud, Civilization and Its Discontents 

We Ain’t Born Typical ... and Loss of Eden

Our birth separates us from Nature. It makes us distinct from all other species, and it is expressed mythically as a loss of Eden, a loss of a Golden Age. A loss of an Eden, a fall from grace of some sort, is a universal human myth. In it, we leave off a direct relationship or connection to a higher power or ultimate reality. We become instead…

PLANETMATES: THE GREAT REVEAL

Page 26

…thinking it humorous that anyone would be offended, for to them it meant that despite their losing their control over the minds of the masses, they had accumulated so much wealth that they would not and could not be hurt. They would be able, as always, to use that wealth to undermine the legitimate strivings of everyone else for justice, for the truth, for relief from suffering, but now even for the survival of us all and, dear human, how can your kind not know that includes themselves as well? Still, these truths must be made known and be thrown up to counter those fewer but somehow even more loudly heard Republicans.

“The truth is this: That your kind has suffered greatly because of a fear that caused you to stray from trusting in a good “God,” as you put it. That caused you to instead strive mightily to control the powers that would have guided and taught you and given you a happier life than you could ever have designed on your own ... oh sadly feeble-minded ape in suffering pushed to be insane ape.... And railing against all that by claiming superiority over all life and Godlike powers of deciding death, now even determining the death of the planet along with yourselves.”

THE DESCENTS OF MAN

Page 21

Nineteenth Descent — Soul Murder

Thus, with the assistance of mind control that was imposed — things akin to morality, propaganda, and religion; augmented by mind control that was self-administered, which would include things like thought control, positive thinking, “creating one’s reality,” “channeling” of one’s drives for fulfillment, and sublimating of one’s desires; along with trivial distractions  from one’s experience of self through mindless entertainment, mind- numbing work, and such; and finally with the boost provided by the  modern pharmaceuticals serving to put blinders on one’s thoughts and to restrict one’s feelings and emotions and channel them along those “appropriate” lines helpful to the higher-ups ... with all these together we had the ability to achieve a pretty good murder of the conscience, of the soul.

Sociopathy

And with this we have the achievement of the heights of “civilization” — the sociopath. All human “evolution,” characterized as it is by increasing control of everything and anyone around, reaches its fruition in the creation of a personality without the ability to empathize, which enables a human to kill, steal, manipulate, bully, destroy the environment, kill off species, and dominate without conscience or remorse — all in the service of narcissistic desires and greed. The sociopath is the logical and inevitable omega point of man’s descent from Nature.

We see the differences in male and female tendencies in that regard even today. First of all, however, throughout our history this extra assistance needed by mothers has pushed for single male-female units — monogamy — with exceptions to the contrary pushing  through only occasionally and to various degrees in only some cul- tures, but if so, especially among the well-to-do in those societies. For  in some societies, men with excess resources have the luxury of time for such dalliances, the resources to facilitate them, along with, importantly, the power to keep from being pressured by others in the group to do otherwise and to be like the rest in the group, for example, through moralizing. They are above such restrictions as falls upon the rest of their group, and in such a situation, we see the tendencies of men to manifest as they would.

The point is we have polygamy and polyandry as human potentials, but polygamy — that is, one man with two or more women —  vastly trumps polyandry in terms of its occurrence. Furthermore, and just ask any woman, it is the man who is more likely to cheat. That is more than just a complaint or criticism from women, it is actually the case, statistically, and in virtually all cultures. Whether it is considered “cheating,” however, is culturally variable.

“...our conception, gestation, and birth... can be seen to form our underlying myths ... but much more than that. They also create the very foundational templates upon which we build our view of reality — physical, social, emotional, spiritual, and philosophical....”

Carl Jung, decades ago, in many thoroughly encompassing works, expressed concepts similar to mine regarding biocultural patterns undergirding reality. He saw them as archetypes and cumulatively they comprised our collective unconscious. Among other things, this collective unconscious was a pattern, common to all humans, underlying and configuring all our thoughts, beliefs, and perspectives on reality. So it is species-specific. According to Jung, the collective unconscious with its archetypal forms shaping how we think comprises the hereditary remnants of and is the human equivalent of what is called instinct in animals.

Lots of cool questions here, and I note especially the ones about #animals #animalbehavior or in #anthropology #archaeology. A favorite: 84. Can we learn what emotions animals are experiencing? #science
