In a world growing and advancing as fast as ours is, it would be disastrous and utterly unwise to do anything that even comes close to reverting to our primitive ways. we are so medically advanced that we are on the edge of cancer rehabilitation breakthroughs. There is no need to reintroduce natural selection when we are advanced enough to avoid it in a healthy manner.
In fact I believe that we are still very much a part of natural selection. you cannot blame the homosapien for utilizing the very thing gift that god has granted him. The gift of advanced intelligence and that of our imagination. it would be insulting to our species and of life itself to not embrace our morals and human emotions and to not want to save and protect every being of our human existence.
Nothing that we build or synthesize on this planet should ever be considered unnatural for we are just as much a part of this planet as any other living or nonliving thing. is the imagination that we have been blessed with, the imagination that allows us to create something as simple as a scalpel or as advanced as a robotic surgeon not as much a part of our natural beings as our very own hearts and lungs (rhetorical question). We have not taken ourselves out of natural selection but are advancing and adapting at a pace that can not be compared to by any other multicellular complex structure of this planet. I feel that it will always be true that we will be second in line to bacteria and viruses but that does not make them a threat to our existence they are merely a goal for our advancement and adaptation.
I know this really doesn't have anything to do with your post, but the title reminded me of a little childhood memory:
ReplyDelete"Christopher Robin says that he likes that too, but his favourite thing of all is to do Nothing. Pooh ponders that for a bit, and then asks Christopher Robin how you actually do Nothing. Christopher Robin explains that Nothing is what happens when people ask you what you're going to do, and you say "Oh, nothing", and then you go and do it, and Pooh says "Oh, I see". And Christopher Robin further explains that it just means walking along and listening to things you can't hear, and not bothering."
