Are Human Beings Equal?
The DNA among all humans is startling similar. Research from Stanford place it as high as
99.9%. If this is accurate- it is what makes human beings equal. Everything else is up for grabs.
The inputs that result in inequality are seemingly without end especially in our era of social
justice. All are based on violations, egregious or not of modern notions of morality, ethics,
justice, etc. Subcategories of, gender, race, sexual orientation, personal identity, equality of
outcomes and environment are contemporary hot buttons. These competing grievances are not
equal. Some are considered imperative or crimes against humanity others are not. Often
overlooked is that the definitions, on which they are based are fluid and change over time in
response to social, cultural and technological inputs. For example, the contemporary definition
of the word gay describes sexual orientation not emotional state. Are there metrics which are
common to human action and not subject to, for better or worse, manipulation? What follows is
a distillation of all these inputs with the requirement that they are consistent and common, to a
greater or lesser degree, to all humanity. Generally speaking, to what extent are they?
Aggressive
Prolific
Curious
Adaptive
Mobile
Innovative
These attributes have consistent definitions and easily discernable results/consequences.
Geography, resources, environment, etc. influence/determine the extent of these characteristics
in addition to whatever people innately possess. All toll, equality is rare. In regards to human
interaction, when group of people (A) who possess these attributes in abundance encounters
group of people (B) who do not- what happens? Displacement (i.e. the act of moving someone
or something from one position/pace to another,) occurs. Often, it is the violent removal of
group (B) although sometimes subjugation ensues. Its counterpart can be found in nature; a
species, flora/fauna, with attributes encounters a native species does not possess and the
indigenous is displaced. There are, of course, a myriad of factors and permutations that impact
outcomes among human groups and individuals but is one looks deep enough the
aforementioned attributes come into sharp relief. If the historical record is any indication look
to Human DNA for equality
THE ZOOKEEPER SYNDROME (Foreign and Domestic) The transnational, globalist mindset is akin to a zookeeper. First some context. History is replete with ideologies that seek to save people from themselves or a foreign contagion. Until recently this impulse, as illustrated by the 20th Century, have been political ideologies. It sought to cleanse a people from the errors and machinations of the past. If the “authors/instigators of these ills were foreign, so much the better. In any case, salvation from historical, social and economic maladies required a reset of just about everything. More often than not it was accompanied by a sea of blood and violence. The objects of salvation (the people) often died, ended up in the same circumstance or worse off. I’m of course, referring to Communism, Fascism and National Socialism. Some will say what about Capitalism? Whatever the ills of Capitalism it behooves one to consider the alternatives offered during the 20th Century. Some have said that hi
