Dead Memories Of A Psychosocial

On the subject of the Weak

“The goal of evolution is not to become human.” Evolution is to become more resilient to the environment a species is exposed to.

I am of the school of thought that we, humans, are animals. We are mammals after all. Our DNA is 90-something percent similar to that of apes.

And, with regards to evolution, we are in the same boat as any other animal to adapt and survive the environment we live in.

The environment? Yes, the Concrete Jungle. The world of business, the world of cut-throat competition, the place of the haves and the have-nots. And this is where i will begin with my ‘thesis’ on Social Darwinism.

For far too long we have been content with mediocrity and entitlement. Whether these ideas are born of certain ‘belief systems’ or ‘herd mentality’, which does not see any drawbacks with the current state of things, i cannot be certain. Today people seek recognition because of who they know, who can get them that recognition. Gone are the days where one received recognition for what they did, for the skills and intelligence they possessed. Now it is, “It is not about what you know, but who you know” but let me say this, sand is washed away by a mighty raging river, yet rocks stand testament to the path the waters took. When your mediocre work faces the raging scrutiny of time, it is then that it will be washed away and buried in the deep waters of the sea where no man treads, while the most gifted and intelligent will stand in testament to the hard, creative work of their age.

Tell me again that it is about who you know, and i will show you the millions of people that seek a shortcut to achievements that take years of hard work to cement. I will show you poor souls who loitter around the gates of success waiting for an opening so they can slip through and claim what is not theirs. Tell me its about what you know and i will show you people who boldly walk up to the gates of success with the keys in their hands.

For opportunity does not present itself in a pretty dress adorned with flowers, but in a muddy worksuit, reeking of blood, sweat and tears.

Then i will say, “It is the survival of the fittest.” Let the strong rule over the weak, let the creative and hard working enslave the mediocre and lazy. In this Concrete Jungle, for the species to survive and continue to leave something worthwhile for the future, let those that cannot, be done away with and those who can, let them carry the torches of the generation.

Let the strong prove their mettle on the grand stage of time, and let the mediocre perish under the intense scrutiny of reality.

For when we accept the true laws of our universe, we attain power in the knowledge that will help progress the species into the future, this is true wisdom.

Social Darwinism will force a change to occur, a change that has been long held back. This change will seek to revert the balancing scales and redistribute the scattered to well organised units of the strong and weak.

In passing, the strong are not necessarily born so, and neither are the weak. But it is their disposition that makes them so. In that light, i cannot be viewed as crude or blunt in my ‘Devil’s advocacy’ but i should be merited on what i have proposed on the sole grounds of sensibility and conciousness of the state of the human race in current times. It is safe to say, if things do not effect change then we are all doomed, and who will answer to the next generation as to what we did? What achievements we gained? No one because we will be all extinct.

Should in the 23rd Century we still have not corrected this faulty system, rest assured that no one will remember the works of those that came before us, their hard work would have been for nothing.

For every generation will build on the foundation left beforehand by those that dug the holes and mixed the cement. What do we do? We build new structures where no foundation has been laid and that will mean the future generation will be burdened with repairing all our mistakes because we sought the easy way out.

Now is the time for the water and oil to separate, now is the time for a change in social pecking orders. If you are not prepared to be a part of the Evolution then by all means you are entitled to die out and make way for the worthy.

In conclusion, “Survival of the fittest.” will guarantee a solid future for all, while the burden of ‘Entitlement’ will be our doom, the End Of Days we have all been seeking for.
