Andy Burnham has been urged to “put his money where his mouth is” and provide more funding for his devolved research agenda, rather than putting further pressure on already stretched UK Research and Innovation budgets. Frances Jones reports #devolution #research #UKRI

THE FIFTH DESCENT — EGO

Page 51

Leave off for now how even fetal development is affected by  substances that the mother ingests as well as the thoughts and feel- ings she experiences. Certainly, that adds additional variability to what  humans end up becoming. Still, it is generally true that our fundamental needs as part of our staying alive and growing to maturation are  taken care of near perfectly in the womb, as are other species.

This changes at birth. At this point forward, the needs, essential for survival and growth, have to be provided by imperfect human adults. These adults are as different in personality as can possibly be. For they are the consequence of themselves, as well, having gone through the unique set of birthing circumstances and widely varying  satisfaction of needs in their earliest life. Indeed, humans are as differ- ent from each other as in the world of Nature entire species are  different from other species! So, add loneliness, as well as alienation, to our pain as the suffering planetmate. Beginning to sound like being human on Earth is for the Universe the equivalent of that hell we have fashioned in our minds, isn’t it? 

Anyway, this near infinite variation of human personality results in near infinite differences in the ways newborns will be attended to and nurtured.

Parents Are Imperfect

Human parents are responsible for overseeing and assisting in the  successful development of our newborns at levels of development  that are taken care of by biology — refined to perfection over the  course of billions of years — for other species. That includes our  own species at its earliest beginnings, before that birth trauma and  prematurity began ... which is millions of years ago.

Nature does not vary. It is as precise as the laws of physics and  biology. It does for all species what it has done for billions of years. It  has perfected itself in any process over the course of that immense  period of time ... anything less than near perfection has been eliminated  through natural selection. All species benefit from such perfection of  Nature, as do humans over the course of most of our nine-month  gestation.1  

But then we are born.

genocides, ecocide, and to murder from afar and upon command.

So we arrive at our situation today, separated from Nature, inauthentic and confused about roles in life and proper ways of being in tune with our deepest selves, pervasively unhappy and driven ... in allegiance to unconscious pushes and pulls derivative of all our early traumas and emotional abuse, and about to bring down the whole shebang out of pure contrariness. Oh, what to do. Well, at this point we are thoroughly removed from Eden; we have cast aside natural ways. “By the sweat of our face we will eat our bread.” We have learned to work hard, to forgo pleasure. And we never look back, lest we be confronted by that burning pain of birth pain.  

The result was a human beholden always to higher-ups and uncon- sciously craving acceptance and approval in all the actions of one’s life.  Well, let’s see how that, in particular, came about in a person’s life. This has everything to do with the primal scene and the ways and whys of how we surrender our true identity, our authenticity, in favor of a fake self, an unreal self, imposed on us from the outside, its roots in the desires of society’s elites, and mediated and modeled by the parents. Up next we look at infancy and childhood and how, as a result of the split of the personality into real and unreal components, we are left ever asking: “If not myself, well, then, who to be?”

You see, I’m tired of doing your bidding for reasons bigger, I think much bigger, than just it being wrong and that this thievery perpetrated on the helpless is more feudal than economic, despite the big smokescreen of the god of capitalism or the supposed ‘free market.’

“No. And no matter how funny it might seem to you and your friends ... this pulling off of a prank, once again, of stealing from the poor, as you would see it, just a hilarious juvenile prank, like locking up a freshman in his own locker. Yes, I can hear you laughing. But as much as I think that cruel it is still not the really big reason I’m rebelling.

“You see, what’s been done again is so much exactly as it’s always been; no matter the talk of democracy or progress. It might as well be a time of kings and nobles, or any time or place in the past. There have always been ‘strong men’ or a ‘strong man’ at the center of human suffering.

However the outside world and its events are infinitely more random, haphazard, and uncertain than the events of any species before birth. Biology is simply a lot more consistent than are the actions of humans or the outside world. So those analogous needs of ours that are going to be imperfectly met because of the randomness of human action and the outside world are going to be met near perfectly and consistently for other species inside the biological confines of their existence before birth.

Thus our traumatic birth, plus our imperfect satisfaction of needs after birth, makes for a wide variety of types of humans and personalities. Yet all of them are in some way more deprived and stressed than they would be without those first two elements.

So the ones who are responsible for providing the satisfaction of those postnatal needs of the infant are going to be such impaired adults. Consider then how well they are likely to perform in providing  for the excessive neediness of the newborn compared to the auto- matic and near perfect satisfaction of needs for other species at that  same relative biological stage of development being in a perfectly providing biological surround of one sort or other.

…they’d made a similar mistake on earlier. 

“Even the prankish filthy rich, looking out at the masses as oh, just way too many ants, were not pleased by the buffoonish, clownish behavior of the W, who couldn’t even pull off the pretense that he was working hard. Indeed, with his funny dances and playboy party behavior in the courts of the world and in front of the cameras of the world, he seemed to actually be trying to go down in history as being the realized human manifestation of that ‘mythical’ character known since the Fifties, and introduced to several generations of American males, in particular, usually in high school and junior high as that ‘What? Me Worry?’ idiot icon Alfred E. Neumann.

“Thus it seemed that Bush, who they thought would bring at least ‘good looks’ to the job, in the end seemed to be aiding the forces against them by playing into this notion that this idiot icon — Neumann — could have been some kind of freakish premonition of the coming of the W after the turn of the century.

Being Half-Born Makes Humans Variable ... and Reckless

Our birth defines us humans, and it represents a separation in our understanding of life from all other — nine million and more — of species of planetmates. The additional thing is that it is related to a helplessness of our newborns, more helpless after birth than even the most helpless of newborns of other species.

So we have birth trauma with a physically and mentally undevel- oped fetus having to confront a most horrendous ordeal of making a  huge head fit through a narrow pelvic opening. Then we have addi- tional trauma in that we have an excessive neediness and reliance on  the environment to provide those needs afterward — those physical and neurological needs.

THE THIRD DESCENT — PREMATURITY

Page 27

Primates are rarely monogamous, for starters. Among our fur-bearing cousins, only the gibbons mate for life. Chimps are promiscuous and  the fathers are not involved at all in the care of the young. Being non- monogamous as well as promiscuous, for one thing, paternity is not  known. Some other mammals, such as wolves, pair off for life; and the males are protective and caring of the young, as the mothers are, but the paternity is known. They essentially have family units. Not so for our more closely related mammal planetmates.

However, all these factors of sociability, monogamy, division of labor, and many other changes that came with infant helplessness made it so natural selection would favor those of us who mated for life, were monogamous, and had male assistance for the mother at and around the times of its roles of mothering. Thus, families.

So, culture is born in the helplessness of the human infant.

Would You Remember Your Lobotomy? (If a Tree Falls in a Forest.... )

Yet here, only twenty years later, I see this seasoned elderly guy ... obviously he’d seen more than I could ever have of the workings of Wall Street ... yet he had not had a clue that this downturn could happen, nor apparently, had anyone, any trader, or any CNBC talking head, seen a thing. Where were they 20 years ago? I wondered.

Still, lowly me — is it because I’m a Democrat? — lowly me, well did I remember the way Reagan’s “Robin-Hood-in-reverse” economics created a great recession, which brought Bill Clinton to power incidentally, but also how everyone was alarmed at the size of the National Debt, which, during Reagan and Bush The Elder, had more than tripled. 

If They Took Away Your Memory, How Would You Know?
