Primitively evolved ego is exploited for purposes of creating order out of chaos and power over others.
Equatorial cultures don't exhibit culturally perpetual traits like true altruism and false altruism which leads to a more sophisticated culutre and paves the way for more pre-emptive thinking.
They will be less advanced as a result of very fewer wars being fought in their part of the world because they have very little to fight over.
We are ultimately on a production line of biological hereditary processes and cultural perpetuation produced by mechanics, with just as much good manifesting from what ever badness occurs in life.
As a result of being the most aggressive and lethal species on the planet we evolved survival traits such as the act of subservience and sinister false altruism.
Centuries of warfare has paved the way for human thought!
(There are still cultures on the planet lacking in subservience, sinister false altruism and true altruism who struggle to advance)
Centuries of warfare and the tribally motivated act of taking naturally occurring hallucinogenic substances and inebriating substances have acted to weaken or strengthen our otherwise primitively instinctive aggressive responses to conflict, this has strengthening our inhibitor capabilities before the heat of the battle so to speak.
This better evolved inhibitive strength has given us more time to THINK, the one who keeps his cool normally wins) (The brain evolving into the more sophisticated lethal tool at the moment)
The trouble is that we have no choice other than to strive through the trouble cultures inflict on our selves which gives us sense of purpose and good reason to exist, this perpetuation of culture enables us to grow stronger and advance, it also gives us a sense of place being how we evolve.
(The ego mostly needing to know why and where it is, giving it’s self place and purpose, this is hard wired into the brain because historically if the self is out of place from the perception of the majority this has proven to be potentially lethal to us.)
Is this why white van man syndrome is noticed amongst our culture?
White van mans empowering lonely job (The ego lost) can give rise to thoughts of exceptional-ism and potentially grandiose feelings and narcissism. This is because white van mans ego is lost, he needs to be checked thus sometimes drives irrationally, (the ego saying where am I, I need ot be checked because I am in fear of acting out of the ordinary)
If there is no naturally occurring trouble for us to battle through you can count on the primitively evolved ego causing some, either for it's own sense of purpose, sanity and sense of hierarchical place while it defends it's own success succeeding at the demise of others. E.G.(Recognise and exploit weaknesses, Keeping others in trouble, socially divided and in modern times economically controlled with prime and sub-prime Guilt/Guild investments.)(Social Engineering)
These standards are set by peers, learned and then perpetuated throughout cultures all over the world.
(“A bit stone age if I do say so myself”)!
Mountbatten said to Ghandi "It costs a fortune to keep you poor".
The more knowledge we have acquired, the better chances we have had of survival as a result of exploiting our learned knowledge. (Hence. “Knowledge is power” which has been exploited by the most successful in society to aid their success over others)
(Sometimes in the past and still today, what we have not know about has killed us)
The ego, a level and standard of perception of ones self, (Mostly attributed to suburban cultures) is an instinctively adopted and evolving mechanism which causes the conflict we need in order to advance.
The downside is that it needs to create why it is doing what it is doing if it has no idea in the first place, whilst sometimes justifying the necessary horrendous deeds it has historically had to carry out to it's self.
(This explains the origins to our historically insane beliefs) E.G. Creationism: Witch Craft, Voodoo and human sacrifices to Gods.
Life is not sane or rational, and neither is man or his beliefs.
Mans created beliefs are as a consequence of the ever evolving ego.
Religion was and is a product of the primitively evolved ego, and has been exploited for purposes of indoctrination used for the greater good, but of course we know that
out of the greater good comes the greater bad.
If God exists, it 's between God and individuals. (The truth, right and wrong, his/her conscience which may be answerable)
"Cogito, ergo sum" (Usually translated in English as: "I think, therefore I am"
Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death." - Albert Einstein, "Religion and Science", New York Times Magazine, November 9, 1930
Man creates go in his own insane image. He needs someone to forgive him for the terrible treacherous deeds he he has to commit as he strive to succeed at the demise of the next man.
