On Evolution
Someone made fire. Someone was first. Until that knowledge was stolen that individual was the most powerful person on the planet.
It means something to be first; to be most. It means a great deal. It means you have an opportunity to reproduce with the highest frequency with the best mates. It means your offspring have the greatest chance for survival and a greater opportunity to make their own fire.
I personally believe that human evolution has run its course. We live in a world where the people that can create value for our species have a tendency to wear condoms and live in a bubble. Individual evolution has been replaced by something else. Continuing on is now a contest between communities. Today I only see organizations evolve. Today the corporation that is first, the most effecient, with fewer scruples gets to manufacture the best products with the highest frequency. The wealth, and the investors that carry it, become the future.
Today in class I was instructed to not fixate on the move I am visualizing. “Be adaptable. Identify the other opportunities as they present themselves.” In the same breath I was told to stop thinking. The situation changes faster than I can analyze.
Hmm. Identify. Act. No analyzing. Trippy.
Later, after being man handled, I was told to relax. “Loosen up. Don’t try to oppose force with force so much.” Which was of course followed with a tid bit on being explosive and powerful.
Made me want to put my head through a stack of taekwondo boards.
Jiu-Jitsu is so beautiful.
My improvements have been recognized and I received my second stripe.
Lissy gets to enjoy this eventually. I am letting myself enjoy it. Little Isla Hope is certainly a tough chick just like her mamma.
