PRODIGAL HUMAN Page 50 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.

is it ethical to study a community you belong to? a fish doesn't see the water: insiders get context but miss the strange. from a bird's eye view you see everything: outsiders see the weird but miss the nuance. are you a fish or a bird in anthropology? #anthropology

PLANETMATES: THE GREAT REVEAL Page 28 …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.

THE DESCENTS OF MAN Page 23 • Nineteenth Descent — Soul Murder ... control of thoughts and self, avoidance-denial of pain, ultimate loss of empathy and conscience (the sociopaths of today and of history) and, thus, the ability to engage in war, hate crimes, burning of Jews and witches, 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 unconsciously craving acceptance and approval in all the actions of one’s life.

Why We Can’t Get No Satisfaction Let us now add another factor to this development of supposed intelligence and culture. As I have been saying, altricial means humans are born helpless. We would die if not cared for. Secondary altriciality of humans, and only humans, means our brains and consequent functioning are even less advanced than other species at birth. We are, in essence, born premature relative to other species. We are born even more helpless. And the later development of our brains comes in a social, not biological, surround. The period after birth requires that the newborn get its needs met indirectly, that is, through someone else. In the womb, one’s needs are handled automatically by Nature and biology. One does not have to cry in order to get nutrients. However, the human newborn, in order to get its needs met in that time of dependency must communicate. At the same time, it also helps to be non-fussy, to smile a lot, and to be adorable. So these social requirements — conflicting as some of them are (that is a whole other story; we’ll get to it) — are put upon our infants. Humans thus learn sycophancy and conformity right at the beginning, even prior to any enculturation in society which might push those tendencies even further. THE THIRD DESCENT — PREMATURITY Page 27

Of Course, Of Course Just at this point, the Mister Ed chart markings of the DOW began that nodding, as if to say, “I’m tired of being propped up. I just want to lie down, to let my head hang low, to rest, to not have to confirm self-serving theories of rich people, using their wealth to make the biased and twisted thinking of their underlings to be sounded endlessly above the din of the moaning masses who year after year see their costs going up, wages stagnating, and their efforts, doubled, tripled, and beyond without being able to get their heads above it.

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.

Sure, we admit this faculty is imperfect. Yet we also believe that we can get it more correct using the methods of science. We believe that its incorrectness lies in faulty logic or faulty data. Both of which are correctible. Going along with these vanities, we concoct gods with the same characteristics. Like our supposed reason, the Judeo-Christian-Muslim god is one who is separate from all creation, not immersed in it, and is a kind of grand manager of all events ... even as we imagine our intellects and reasoning ability to be. Hence, we create a god in our image, not the reverse as we say in our Western theologies. Incidentally, this is not the kind of god we created during the majority of human experience when we were primal humans. So this egocentric, ratio-centric, if you will, perspective, this ego- aggrandizement is the product of civilized and patriarchal cultures, occurring as our burgeoning controlling fetish came into full bloom.
