my research indicates the world is going through a complete transformation. i could be wrong.
but if i am not wrong, then there is something significant happening right now. if so, why aren’t more people “waking up” to see what is occurring right before them?
edit:
i will definitely not be doxxing myself by sharing any of my research projects, custom tools or other resources that could identify me.
what i will say is there are enough of you here who understand what i am saying to speak plainly…
from my position in space and time, we coexist in an era of great opportunity. right before we begin mining and colonizing space, truly epic times. only a few will notice which way the winds are blowing. if you have the guts and savvy to figure it out by doing your homework, i say take full advantage of your observations. whatever your ambitions are. it’s okay to be a little selfish and make real change happen.
The world has been radically transforming for 2000 years. The rise of agriculture, the dark ages, the printing press, the discovery of the new world, the renaissance, isaac newton, the industrial age, the combustion engine, the atomic age, etc. There’s no evidence that current transformations underway are any more or less radical. It is a constant and uninterrupted transformation. We are biased: current transformations feel more profound to us simply because we are living through them.
For all the benefits of a cerebellum, humans are wired to focus on their immediate needs: food, shelter, water, sex. Yes, the higher brain can put a man on the moon, but that doesn’t put dinner on the table tonight, or pay the rent this week.
With limits to our energy, time, and attention, we (statistically) each focus on the here and now. Anything “down the road” (like climate change), is “tomorrow’s problem”. It’s not malevolence; it’s our wiring at a biological level.
The development of a cerebellum on top of our lizard brain was necessary to assure survival. But it came with some critical drawbacks that needed mitigation: We became aware of the nature of our mortality. We could spend precious energy consumed with tasks that gave future benefit (like farming or making tools). The equation stood to be unbalanced. The squirrel who spends his energy collecting nuts still needs to eat today’s meal. Humans couldn’t stand around helplessly fearing their own eventual death. We were therefore gifted with the ability to easily ignore transformative changes around us, and ignore knowledge/wisdom that our cerebellums deduce; instead simply adapt to whatever our environment gives us.
This manifests mostly as procrastination and avoidance. Inaction does not imply ignorance. We are behaving as we are currently designed to behave. All the wars, violence, theft, torture, and cruelty are manifestations of our lower brains, and evidence that they retain control. What humanity doesn’t grasp in its smugness is that we are not finished yet. Our evolution is not complete. It will require perhaps a hundred thousand more years for the slow hand of evolution to winnow out the petty behaviors that drive us. If we survive that long, we will become altruistic beings motivated by rational thought, acting to effect both our short and long term needs.
Until that day, the space aliens will do what they always do: have a quick look then turn around and go home.
