Accurate. Those who survive reproduce. War tends to eliminate the best and preserve the worst. Modern war is very democratic in butchering everyone so no one reproduces.
Darwin by the way was not original. Before Darwin popularized the idea others had it as well.
It's not completely true. Those who know the futility of war would attempt to avoid it. They might not be chicken but rather just not stupid.
Modern Europe is descended mostly from farmers. I suspect that big data, and all that dna testing, has reported some unpalatable truths to the boys at the top.
Poetry is important. In all respects despite also studying Political Science (I used to joke it was Political Silence) and History and my last year of college (12 year undergraduate dropping out, dropping in) Philosophy (2 BA degrees English and Poly Sci with minor in Philosophy and graduated at 30 then promptly moving to SF) I think to this day English major as an Undergrad was superior.
Poets I never encountered. Ideas I never encountered. Symbols that in their time were quite powerful and in some respects once decoded for the post-modern mind still are.
I took the middle path. Then jobs kept going under or I did. As long as I recall I had a very Bronze Age aristocratic Greek attitude towards manual labor. Of course my neighborhood was construction workers and ex-military. Intelligence was scorned. Toil and fun were King and Queen. I wanted leisure but had no money. So I adapted to a no money life as much as possible. And in expensive San Francisco or expensive Sacramento that required hard emotion and cunning intelligence. After Covid though I feel that though in some respects a better life has been had since no no job compelled me to vaccinate, no peers so no pressure to vaccinate, no deep interest in attending events that required vaccination-even at this late hour my private library requires vaccination to attend their membership meetings or enjoy the Holiday party. With tremendous reluctance I did mask on Amtrak a couple times and when the law required to buy food.
Please, don't buy into popular myths like "sexism." Men and women ARE different and, with hardly any exceptions, they both have tasks that they can perform better than the other sex can. Okay, now with all the sex-altering chemicals in the environment, that may have become a bit more difficult to tell.
There is a joke about the idea you are mentioning:
The man has been living in a happy marriage for 20 years. Finally, his friends can't take it anymore and ask him,
"How come you never have an argument with your wife?"
"Easy. Twenty years ago, we agreed that I make the big decisions and leave the small ones to her."
"And?"
"There hasn't been a single big decision ever since."
Most Europeans are descended from Neolithic farmers. Don't tell the rich.
And Apes & monkeys have a common ancestor at (I think) about 8m years ago. Well that's according to current belief anyway. But boy those academics lie a lot.
Hilariously accurate, I might suggest sheep instead of chicken though.
Maybe only about 15% of the population actually practices being free; one of the things that people need to be free from is fear.
Being a strong individual takes perseverance, and the example spreads locally. Previous generations were definitely strong, because they had a sense of responsibility and practicality.
If you study ancient history, there's a pattern to all this, I refer to it as the "Human Cycle."
Today, something must have tickled my funny bone, but everyone needs comic relief every once in a while. :)
Being relatively free, in my experience, means navigating between being poor and becoming rich.
Previous generations had firm beliefs that today's people can only hardly guess.
As for the human cycle, civilization always ends up the way it is ending up now. The only difference is that it's now global, which might mark the end of it altogether. If I were God, I would certainly close the curtain; it's becoming boring.
"means navigating between being poor and becoming rich" Yup, that's the idea.
Even just above the poverty line we still have a lot more luxuries than most of our ancestors ever had. Freedom is getting more elusive however. I would always chose freedom over money, but you need just enough $ to buy a small degree of freedom.
I was thinking lemmings BTW. It seems "the crowd" will even choose death over breaking from the ranks and societal norms.
Those, who are afraid, are already dead, but they still do not know it. The "covid" crowd is phased out, but quite inconveniently, the process doesn't distinguish between them and the rest of us.
As for being a lion, I prefer to be "as smart as a snake and as gentle as a dove." Either way, I wouldn't fit in. Never did. :)
The thing about living in fear of (whatever) is that you're in a neurotic feedback loop which causes you to further focus on what you don't want.
Because what you think about regularly, and especially with strong emotion (good or bad), eventually manifests in your reality.
So, the rich scared of being the poors will end up just that (because all is never enough, so you end up with nothing), and the cowards worried about dying of a 0.035% lethal disease will die from taking the "cure" for said.
Oh, there was no "covid," only the symptoms, most likely caused by the brand-new 5G installations (electric installations have been causing "flu" epidemics for 130 years.
People must see and learn this. Dr. Martin Pall and Dr. Thomas Cotton had excellent articles early on during this explaining how every time the Earths magnetic field was interfered with radar, satellites, etc a flu epidemic occurred. Fascinating! Can you get this out, please. Thx.
Because "covid" didn't exist... Well, if you ask me, the Rockefellows' meningitis "vaccines" seems to have killed a lot of people in 1918, and it may have already had some of the same components as the recent lethal injections.
Maybe. I'm not sold that viruses don't exist. But I'm also certain we don't fully understand what's happening, and the status quo is probably lying on many points.
It doesn't matter if viruses exist. What matters is that the whole of humanity is about to be enslaved or exterminated based on the premise that they do:
On the former: Maybe, or maybe the slavers get exterminated. Or maybe a bit (or a lot) of both.
The latter: Gaston Naessens did a lot of research decades ago, and MIT ripped off his Somatoscope to make a patent on an optical microscope that exceeds traditional microscope resolutions. This is important, b/c anything you see in an electron microscope is dead and covered in gold atoms. Naessens ' Somatoscope allowed him to observe living processes at a super high magnification. So, SOMETHING is going on down there, but exactly what, we don't know (or aren't being allowed to know).
That's what I told my daughter ("the weak die"), when she was given "asthma" (an invented illness for a condition most likely caused by antibiotics and by "vaccines") puffers. She said she didn't want to live like that (and she didn't even know that the steroids would turn her into an elephant in a few years), so she followed my advice and when she was suffocating, she withheld her breath. She recovered within a year.
In the 1930s, European wheat was crossed with North-American grass, which may be a major cause of "celiac disease." Pesticides certainly cause all kinds of conditions, including "asthma."
Not all sugars are created alike. High-fructose corn syrup has been ingested by Americans for several decades, and it's bad for them. The only worse things are artificial sweeteners that truly mess up metabolism.
"Nutritionists" consider rice as bad as a source of carbs, while white rice actually detoxifies (organic, please). My wife and I buy European flour and pasta that don't give us a heartburn.
Accurate. Those who survive reproduce. War tends to eliminate the best and preserve the worst. Modern war is very democratic in butchering everyone so no one reproduces.

His grandfather Erasmus Darwin being one.

The pool of men would get depleted from war, but not the women.
The weak (chicken) men got to stay home and have families with their choice of women.
So the best women mated with the worst men.
What did we end up with.
It's not completely true. Those who know the futility of war would attempt to avoid it. They might not be chicken but rather just not stupid.
Modern Europe is descended mostly from farmers. I suspect that big data, and all that dna testing, has reported some unpalatable truths to the boys at the top.
I was being a bit chicken and egg.
What truths are you meaning.
Who they thought their fathers were.
And how unsuccessful the attempt to keep all the money is in the pool of ancestors.
Thanks for explaining what you meant. It's a much more fun comment now.
T.S. Elliot. :)
We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats' feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar
Shape without form, shade without colour,
Paralysed force, gesture without motion;
Those who have crossed
With direct eyes, to death's other Kingdom
Remember us-if at all-not as lost
Violent souls, but only
As the hollow men
The stuffed men.
Very appropriate for our times Stegiel.
Hollow people who, masked, cannot look you in the eye.
Eliot wrote of the aftermath of WWI, we're going through the start of WWIII and people are hollowed out already.
Might be good to invest in a few volumes of poetry for reading in the dark days ahead.
Poetry is important. In all respects despite also studying Political Science (I used to joke it was Political Silence) and History and my last year of college (12 year undergraduate dropping out, dropping in) Philosophy (2 BA degrees English and Poly Sci with minor in Philosophy and graduated at 30 then promptly moving to SF) I think to this day English major as an Undergrad was superior.

Yes, when no one has any money you will still have all of that.
I spent my life, until recently, working. Getting through a list of jobs each day, looking after family, being smart with family money.
Also was sexist in that I thought that men should be looking after the big picture while I looked after the domestic front.
Never paid politics any heed. Didn't waste daylight hours on book reading, not so indulgent.
Would see things differently in retrospect.
I took the middle path. Then jobs kept going under or I did. As long as I recall I had a very Bronze Age aristocratic Greek attitude towards manual labor. Of course my neighborhood was construction workers and ex-military. Intelligence was scorned. Toil and fun were King and Queen. I wanted leisure but had no money.

"And?"
"There hasn't been a single big decision ever since."
Oh, dear. That was an exceptionally intelligent contribution; I am pinning it.
I got that from reading a book years ago-The Orphic Voice. She goes into some detail on Erasmus.
it’s not the fittest who survive, but the most protected...
so true! Just great! Thx.
I never saw 'the point' in reproducing. I owed no one anything. I certainly could (and do) help
some when I can as I meet them and know them, if they're interested.
I bought a big set of animal encyclopedias made a long time ago now, which should
show anyone how foolish evolution is. Things do devolve, as Ray explained.
Yet, perhaps there is evolution of other things within the species.
I liked how people put that fears tend to become real, and often people don't realize
those are fears. Maybe it is fear that drives the very rich to ruin other people.
And we've all noticed at some point how often the working poor, in other countries
can be happier and very giving, not worried about anything at all.
That's interesting to me.
Evolution or not, the same question applies as the one I say to flat-earthers and the like:
"You may be right or wrong, but what difference does it make when it comes to the way you live your life?"
Chickens, why not?
An alternative is rabbits; I'm sure, Darwin would find the connection there, too! :)

Be Lions, not lemmings!
On the finances, you are are on the same page.
Those, who are afraid, are already dead, but they still do not know it. The "covid" crowd is phased out, but quite inconveniently, the process doesn't distinguish between them and the rest of us.

Solar flare activity also changed the magnetic field, which seems to coincide with medieval plagues.
Maybe, I'm open to just about anything at this point.
But IMO, why not both?
Because "covid" didn't exist... Well, if you ask me, the Rockefellows' meningitis "vaccines" seems to have killed a lot of people in 1918, and it may have already had some of the same components as the recent lethal injections.

Irony often shows up in the human condition. Unfortunately society must reflect that.
its not survival of the fittest, its death of the weakest
It's fast becoming survival of the wisest, death of the dumbest.
To me, it looks like only certain locations will work, smart or as dumb as a nickel.

thats interesting, i had asthma for 30 years, when i changed my diet it went away. grains/carbs and sugars are inflammatory
