Subject: Darwinism writ large.



I’m lucky, as my legs slowly fail me my brain roars ahead pondering the complexities of people and their actions. I tap away on the iPad to let off steam by creating a different world, a world of sentences and ethical meaning. It’s not the same as doing a stint in a hostelry or providing food in a soup kitchen but it helps to fend off the despair which according to the media  surrounds me.  The lack of affordable homes, the inadequacy of the education system and the implausibility of medical treatment free at the point of need when many can afford to pay
Why don’t the well off pay for their Tailer Swift concert seats, why are so many things tax deductible through the companies accounting system, freebies galore “put it down to ‘expenses”.
Why do women continue to bear children when it’s beyond their individual sustainability, or is it yet another right, this need for power over the child.
Which ever way we look there are multiple inequalities, crazy religious groups who demand a hearing at the point of rebellion. Executive reward and pampered life styles, irreconcilable class divergence and political posturing, crimes which go unpunished and are swept under the carpet as being of too large a cohort to challenge.
The list goes on and for many they do not get a mention in their neuro plasticity, so involved in the shallow end of life and protected from their stupidity by a society which professes compassion but are NIMBIES at heart.
So where are the “upland lawns”, they can only come from our own mind and it’s decoupling from actual events as being non personal but that’s not to say we don’t observe them
The term ‘wholistic’ symbolises the bringing together and interplay of everything each having a part in the life of another. To grasp what it means to be and share the ‘wholistic’ view one has to share your ideas with others and whilst the internet is ideally the perfect tool for that task it is also used as a device to disrupt people through virulent argument. The media channels where guests are brought on to define their thoughts about incompatible subject matter and pit their opinions which of course only leads to confusion. There are so many ill defined concepts such as right and wrong now that the ‘religious message’ has been dumped for pragmatism.
The high priests of religious dogma have been shown to base their opinions on a surety which does not fit the accuracy demanded in the world of today. The mysticism of ‘hand me down story telling’ has no place when set against the accuracy of carbon dating, the moralistic definitions don’t cover so much of our real life, even our definition of life itself is being challenged, not in a superstitious way by ethical and moralistic teaching but by the conclusion that we are not special instead we are ‘Darwinism writ large’ with all the flaws which “natural selection” brings.
