Evolution The violent spirit to forge a civilization vol 1

(Rodrigo GrandaB_hQJo) #1

—Mastery of elemental forces


«According to the American Association for the


Advancement of Science our bodies and their


interaction with the violent struggle against nature


is a process of 3. 2 million years of evolution (^) [ 2 ]. We


went from a primitive, low-tech existence to being


surrounded by ubiquitous technology. By pervasive


advanced and inscrutable technology and therein


lies our ppredicament: ─How can we be a creature


of nature, which has spent 99 % of its existence


using simple tools, which grew our brain mass to


thrive and master the elemental forces still present


and untamed in a high-tech world?»


«So contrary (to what one might think) to the


first societies, the human being is an entity perfectly


delimited by its fear of the environment, it is a


product slowly and progressively elaborated by the


intervention of natural forces and entities, while


engaging in an armed struggle against other


societies; and it will discover the use of


supernatural phenomena to control with fear the


members of its society and its territorial rivals. This


event of survival of the first more organized


societies helps to establish a first dichotomy that


divides the territory between a space that will be


inhabited and an ordered one.»
