Unnatural

If you look at Nature, there are trends like entropy and scarcity, and a natural arms race to change oneself to fit the world.

Those that do not pass on their genes, are forgotten.

Consciousness and being Human seems to be unnatural. Adding complexity, until a new possibility reveals itself. We change out view and understanding of the world, which allows us to change the world to fit our needs.

We remember the ideas of those that came before us with a massive social intelligence, shared through books and stories. Here are some of the great ideas that we are able to imagine, despite the fact that they are not natural.

  • Tool Use and Leverage. From bicycles, to bow and arrows, to computers, amplify our power.

  • Investment and agriculture. A shift to change from a scarcity mindset, to a belief in abundance with planning.

  • Physics and mathematics. The belief and conviction that we can understand and explain nature with a mathematical language.

  • Germ theory and Antibiotics and vaccines. Making ourselves less weak

  • Money and representative wealth.

  • Electricity and computing.

I am proud that humans change nature and use natures building blocks to better reality and make it unnatural.

I am proud to be human.

P.S. I hope the next paradigm shift is that of understanding and using gravity.
