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.

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.

THE FIFTH DESCENT — EGO Page 49 …more dependent and of lower status. We must rely on the “good will” of Nature and are no longer connected to it. We have become vulnerable. Now, as I said, this is indeed what happens with our altricial nature. We have a secondary altriciality, which means we are born more helpless and premature than any other species. We are only half-ready for life at birth. We are half-borns, essentially — only half ready for life at birth ... relative to other species. What this means is that there is a huge gulf between us and all other species, all other planetmates, in all things ... beginning with the way we view Reality. For humans, more than any other species, see Reality through a fog of trauma, stress, pain, neurosis, and ten- sion unlike anything known to other beings. We are the suffering species; we are the ones uniquely commissioned to forget through trauma and then learn again through pain ... bringing to Reality whatever unique perspective, or Experience, implicated in that. What this means has profound ramifications for everything about our existence, including our situation today, as we stand on the brink of an apocalyptic ecocide and humanicide, unlike anything expe- rienced, or even imagined, on Earth in its previous four and a half billion years.

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. Commiserations to Teilhard de Chardin for having gotten it backward, regarding his Omega Point, under the nearly unbreakable spell of the overweening anthropocentrism which arose in tandem to such sociopathy, sharing many of its qualities. Indeed, while this evolutionary “advance” — sociopathy — came into play with civilization, especially among elites and Controllers, these tendencies can be seen to characterize and be at play in the majority of human personalities at this time in history. While mostly recognizing these traits in their most extreme form, most humans will fail to see the reflections of them in their own selves. Unfeeling, insensitive, greedy, narcissistic, anthropocentric, and self-centered people will not know they are that way. And seeing everyone around them as much the same, they will hardly know it can be any different. This is where we are today and why we need to return to our primal personalities, our most authentic identities and ways of being, in tune with Nature and the Divine. THE DESCENTS OF MAN Page 21

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....

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.

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. THE THIRD DESCENT — PREMATURITY Page 25

All so its elites can wield control and power maximally. Propaganda, Positive Thinking, and Pharmaceuticals Hence, methods of mind control developed, ever modified and perfected. It took the form of things similar to the positive thinking and the pharma- ceutical suppression we see in modern times. For both serve to aid one in running away from the trauma and pain within and to delude oneself that everything is different than it really is. Such a delusional trance of fake happiness — “just put on a happy face,” “smile, though you feel like crying, smile, what’s the use of sighing” — was needed to avoid the huge loss of self-esteem, and thus effectiveness (“use”) that would come with a knowledge of all that one was enduring ... and all unfairly ... if one compared oneself with Nature. Indeed, one did keenly feel an unfairness in one’s life. Though it would not do for it to be acknowledged; it was another “inconvenient”

This practice continues right up to modern times where we see, as some kind of goal or achievement, the control and orchestration of individuals and groups and their every tiny movement, every action, to be in “lock step” with others, with absolutely no individuality or non- conformity at all. Clearly we see this in boot camps, where they march in formation, stand at attention, frozen, only moving in a way that is in complete synchrony with the others in the group. In ways like this we are told we are nothing ... we are on the level of a tool, or a thing. It has its beginnings even with the marching to and from class in grade school ... to and from lunch ... to and from the lavatory.... Do not get out of line! We are told our lives only have value as determined and put into action by higher-ups. For only with such complete conformity, such machine-like regi- mentation, did Controllers feel that they could be safe from insurrection. Only with it could they feel that they could elicit actions from their subordinates in which the underlings would put their lives at risk for the ends of the elite. Or do any other thing, however disagreeable, that the Controller would not want to do. Look to any parade, any military… THE DESCENTS OF MAN Page 19
