Hypothetical Evolutionary Timeline

We Haven't Even Seen Humanity Yet (Top)

For the scoop on how civilization advances see How Human Civilization Advances. Once we have advanced to the next level, which is being enabled by the greater level of cooperation available to us through ISM (a scientific understanding of our instincts). The population of the Earth will grow tremendously. Once we have this much larger, vastly more diverse population a whole new world of realities will bloom into existence. Rather than 10 Geniuses we will have 10,000,000 and of them 1 will fly to heights previously unimaginable. The beauty of the future will be of such magnitude that it is incomprehensible in the current day. There will be a beauty such as comes forth only 1 in 500,000,000,000 and we will never see it in the current day. There are personality traits which haven't even manifested themselves yet. Likewise with every other aspect of civilization scientists, doctors, singers, actors, business men, etc., etc. Tomorrow such things will be reality.

Many of the advancements that Human civilization will experience are at this very moment resting dormant within the genetic, social, cultural structure of all those Humans on the Earth who still have not been introduced to modern scientific knowledge or economic processes. That would be the more than three billion peoples living in areas that are called the third world.

Have you ever thought of something, invented something and then watched as others used your thought or invention and made it even more precise? Well, this is what has happened in Asia with most of the advancements of Europe and America. One hundred years ago Asians didn't even have sufficient scientific knowledge to match Europe or America, but today they are setting the pace in many areas of world scientific knowledge. This exact same thing will happen ten thousand fold once the rest of Humankind are entered into the economic processes of the modern world. Third world people may look illiterate and ragged like they just couldn't think of many new things, but we can not even begin to imagine the complexity of evolution as it pertains to the spread and proliferation of knowledge and ideas. Those people have, each his own, a fresh, clear, new perspective on reality. Once we have included the entire Human race into this economic master piece called Human civilization we are going to experience unprecedented growth. I'll even go so far as to say that the picture of truth, science as it exists can not and will not be comprehended completely until after the inclusion of these now forsaken peoples.

We have a lot to learn. We have a lot to gain. And it's coming...

Mindless Ant Farm - ism (Top)

Frequently when people envision the future of Humanity they conjure up pictures of ants moving about robotically, mindlessly. I'm going to lift this misconception. Have you ever been in a relationship with somebody where you knew each other so well and felt so comfortable with each other that at times it wasn't even necessary to communicate? In other words the "I move when you move" situation without the need for explanations. People will be capable of elevating their lives, and our society to a higher plane in such an environment. Oh there will be antagonisms, to spur the growth of society, they just will not emanate from petty, impertinent, conflict. 

In the future this will be the unanimous reality. A pleasure which is incomprehensible at present. The general, unanimous feeling will be much like what we know as LOVE today. Consequently, far from being something retrograde, the completely unified society of tomorrow will be pleasant beyond your current ability to imagine. All this present day longing after money and separatism to provide oneself with higher solutions at the expense of others is in reality a less gratifying solution than will be unanimously available in the future. Thus we, as usual, are clinging on to a social structure which provides us with less than is possible simply because we are ignorant of the truth as is so frequently the case.

Togetherness is what we all seek because there in does the solution to all our needs reside. Those who do not feel this way are the result of a lack of cooperation and integrity in the present and past social structure. Once this structure is corrected these conditions will no longer exist. The people of the future will find all that a human seeks within society and will develop no separatist approaches to living, or devious characteristics. A loss of character perhaps, but then what is character except a crying out for the conditions which would not have created it in the first place. The love of wealth is precisely the same. People with excessive needs want excesses of money because society can not, did not, adequately provide for their needs. Once needs are adequately provided for the quest for excesses of money will no longer exist. 

A Few Words On Evolution (Top)

Look around you. What do you see?
Evolution; taking place before your very eyes.
We are but observers of the phenomena that we are.
Everything, everywhere, all the time, as there is no more and no less.
The matrix of universal reality, Human beasts within, performing instinctual functions.

This is my most recent and complete synopsis: Figuratively speaking: The entire Human race is not composed of billions of Humans. It is one Human with billions of arms. Each of those arms being an apparently independent beast. Each beast works constantly towards the proliferation of evolution and can do nothing else. You look around you and think, "John is working on his house, Sue is tending her garden". I tell you now nothing is happening here which is not evolutionary process. All that you see was written in the format of the essential structure of what we are and have always been. It only appears to be independent action because we lack complete comprehension. Evolution is the process of becoming what we are essentially and have always been. Regardless of who is doing what and where, they are all working on human evolution. Not a single action has ever taken place in Human civilization which was not a direct attempt by Nature to further Human evolution. And the sum total of all Human activity on this planet at any given moment is nothing more than the current point in evolution. The closer we get to completion the less entropy exists in the procession, likewise the less frequent occurrence of vastly deranged individuals. These vastly deranged individuals are evolution working "every possibility" to find the shortest route. This entire process is just energy transfer and follows the exact same laws as does the electrical current in a wall socket. All that any of us has ever done has been the direct action of Nature to forge the shortest path in this evolutionary procession which we call our lives. We are mechanisms of natural process and the things that we call our lives are nothing more than a series of steps in an over all evolutionary process which we did not initiate or have control over.

Barbarian Rule (Top)

Tribalism and Pagan Animism.

Mankind crawls out of the swamps as a sentient beast. His first impulse is to over power and conquer his fellows. This is the period of Barbarian Rule. Most Humans would not have been thinkers at this time. Humans probably existed very similar to our pets in the modern world. In a state of stimuli response. The state of stimuli response is characterized by thoughtless actions based on the immediate stimulus with a dull, non interpretable chaos occupying the mind between stimuli. Many completely illiterate Humans, even in the modern world, exist in this stage even till this day. It results from the picture of things around a person being beyond comprehension in view of the continued need to solve the pains of the body. It surfaces as the Human simply Not thinking, but instead watching everything closely (Darwin was referring to this in the "Voyage of the beagle", the superficiality of primitive peoples, while in the Tierra Del Fuego area.) and responding instinctively to stimulus. The few who had the time to develop thought came up with as a base philosophy consisting of the existence of gods who created and ruled all.

Hero Rule (Top)

Humans Manifest Great Power Like Gods.

There came a time in the development of civilization where upon select Humans were able to manifest great power over Nature via strength of mind or body. During this time the masses began to admire these individuals as they admired the Gods which set the stage for hero worship. This would eventually revalue the entire Human population to seek their source of meaningfulness in relation to their ties and activities amongst Humans rather than Gods. 

The values of Human kind are changing according to his level of economic development precisely as Karl Marx had stated. "Are men free to choose this or that form of society for themselves? By no means. Assume a particular state of development in the productive forces of man and you will get a particular form of commerce and consumption." - 1973 "Society And Social Change." Karl Marx & Engels, Edited By Neil J. Smelser

Consensus Rule (Top)

The Complete End Of Separatism.

Finally after many great battles between the countries, intellectuals, and common people Mankind will have arrested his differences and accepted a common philosophy, language, and form of economy. Separatism, at this point, will have been completely abolished. The people will be self ruling and the economic system which mediates their activities will have been completely secured and incorporated into the structure of the civilization. Great philosophers and leaders will only be a memory of a past that nobody will really want to remember. A past of barbaric pronouncements of self interest and tremendous waste.

God Centered Value Origins (Top)

Awe Inspired By The Great Commotion Of Nature Man Invents Pagan Animism. His First Philosophy.

The first vestiges of civilization saw intellectuals, philosophers, attributing all the activities of Nature to unseen spirits, Gods, who must have omnipotent power because they controlled all of Nature. And mankind walked lightly through a world of dreams with mighty heroes and terrible demons hiding behind every hill unseen but watching man. These gods defined Human reality as Good and Evil according to the deeds of a person.

God - Hero Centered Value Origins (Top)

Humans Manifest Great Power Like Gods And The People Take On A New Value System.

The whole process of the evolution of Human civilization can be summed up as the becoming of what we are essentially within the confines of this Earth. In my book Synopsis Of Human Nature I explained the "THE ILLUSORY HUMAN VALUE CENTERS". The search for self value results from the awareness of our meaninglessness Throughout the evolution of Human civilization what is basically happening is that Mankind is evolving into what it has always been essentially. 

The process begins in it's most elementary form with the advent of gods. It later progresses into the worship of Heroes. And finally it concludes with a worship of Humanity as a whole which I call mass centered value origins or man centered value origins. This progression, evolution of value centers, results from the nature of the problem confronting mankind. The further along we are in the evolutionary process the more we understand what we are and the more direct our solutions to the problem become. Man in his most primitive state, barbarianism, had little comprehension, thus gods (delusional unseen beasts) acted as our value centers. Later mankind's understanding of Nature expanded providing us with a broader base of power over Nature and this allowed Humans to view other Humans as their value centers (God - Hero centered value origins). The reason the Heroes even existed was evolutionary process also. It was Nature's way of spreading vast evolutionary reform within a mass of illiterates, or a lower qualifying population. By selectively imposing precise and advanced knowledge on the Heroes who could, would, and did then impose that more evolved knowledge on the masses Nature sought to expedite evolution through the most direct path. And as it is this acts as the sum of all World history to the present day. You can see in this a process of Nature pushing mankind toward evolving by forcing us to understanding ourselves. Utilizing always the path of least resistance. In this particular case it was the choice between bringing everyone all at once to a higher level of evolution, which is completely unfeasible, or subjecting select individuals to the conditions which cause them to individually evolve beyond the masses and then subjecting the masses to those individuals that they might impose the evolved knowledge on the masses. Later when this understanding is complete mankind's value center will be the mass of mankind.

Industrialization (Top)

Industrialization Changes The Surface Of The Planet And History.

The industrialization stage in the evolution of mankind is notable for two things:

1. Nature has subjected mankind to a more advanced form of economics through selected leaders. This more advanced form of economics is necessary to sustain larger Human populations at higher levels. Nature is seeking the proliferation of Human life without boundaries. In other words Nature will drive this vehicle just as far as it, us, is capable of taking her. (You must of course remember that we are Nature, but we do Not control it.)

2. And simultaneously advancing the value centers of mankind from Hero centered value origins to the beginning of the last phase in the evolution of value centers which is man centered value origins.

In this period we have the creation, expansion, and subsequent monopolization of commerce by the most adept leaders of the period. Those persons who Nature saw fit to subject to the necessary conditions which would stir them to these ends thus elevating the lot of mankind to a higher level of evolution. Precisely what has happened was necessary. For such tremendous expansion, covering each basic industry, could never have been accomplished by consensus. The masses would have simply argued until social chaos was the only end product. So Nature endowed the few, as she does over and over again in this evolutionary procession with the means and ability to overwhelm the many thus leaving them no choice except to become the slaves of industry which was the absolutely necessary evolutionary result as Humans require an economic system to sustain life. But as soon as Nature turns the winds of time in your direction she shifts and turns them against you. So it is that the machinery of large scale industry will now be restored to the hands of the people for whom Nature created it and the leaders will be deserted as tools which are no longer needed. I say this not from wish or dream, but from what I see as the inevitable process of evolution. Nature uses each and every one of us to achieve this evolution and has absolutely no regard for the welfare of those used.

The advent of Industrialization is but the beginning of what will eventually result in a tremendous and omnipresent machination of industry which at some point will have to be almost incorporated into the life of every living Human. Mankind will become the machine of production and the machine of production will be the means to the existence and proliferation of mankind. 

Industrial Expansion (Top)

The Next Stage In The Development Of Industry.

After the beginning of Industrialization there will be a period of chaos as Nature dislodges the leaders who created the machinations of large scale industry. Succeeding this chaos there will be a period of vast industrial expansion, which will be done through a semi philanthropic medium. This expansion will encompass the proliferation of modernism on a World scale and will need to be accompanied by advancements of both philosophy and language in the target countries and consequently will involve wars. Nature has no boundaries in her thirst for evolution. I don't know how this will manifest itself as far as who will be conquering who, but it will happen, for it must.

Final Evolutionary Stage (Top)

The Final Stage In The Evolution Of Man To A Classless Society.

When civilization reaches this point language will have been integrated and most of mankind's differences will have been eliminated. The profit of industry will have been completely incorporated into the economic machinations of human growth and progress. There will be few class distinctions as most people will be on the same economic level. There will still be a rich class, but they will be high ranking administrators of social progress. Nobody will be rich without being a high ranking social administrator, such parasites will have been eliminated. Everyone will speak a common language and all will cooperate for the promotion of the common good. Pets, sports, and other relics of separatism will have been banished first by government and then by the people themselves after realizing that this is a struggle with nature and they have no time for foolishness or wasting resources. Although races will have been greatly integrated specific races will still exist. It may happen that specific races may exist until the very final days in mankind's evolution to a classless society. But at the end of this evolution they will have been integrated. There will not be leaders anymore, in the sense that we know them now. Humans will have elevated themselves to such a level that leadership will be all but unnecessary excepting the central administrative apparatus of the world economic symphony. The incidence, also, of devious type humans will have been all but irradiated as the social problems which create them will have been solved. 

To look closely at this future society with the eyes of current man is to see a ritualistic, even boring society where in most human needs are immediately met by the economic symphony which will be our future lives. But in contrast progress will be astronomical in relation to progress of the current day as all humans will be actively involved in making progress. Populations will be very large compared to current and I can imagine cities like modern day New York being built in months.

End Of Finance (Top)

The Economic Means To Survival Has Been Integrated Into The Social System.

At some point in the last stages of the evolution of civilization the need for finance as we know it today and have known it in the past will be eliminated. Which is to say that money will be paid out and used for consumption without a middle man and probably without ever being seen. After all money is only a medium of exchange. Once the medium has advanced to a certain point it will function without entropy as will all other human systems. Entropy here is any reduction in the general applicability of social constituents which could otherwise enhance the lot of mankind.

Current History (Top)

Where we stand Now In Evolutionary Process.

We stand at a turning point in history in the current day. This is true because although resources have long been isolated from the mainstream population by various capitalists only now have we finally reached the point where civilization can no longer make progress under the existing social economic system. We can easily see this by looking into the financial predicaments of the various nations making up the planet. They have utilized the existing philosophy of capitalistic expansion to the furthest extent that they were capable and none of them have a clue where to go from here so they have resigned themselves to just plowing forward into whatever results by continuing to borrow and live in extravagance which none can afford realistically. The current world has been and is selling the future of all it's children for the extravagance of today. A day of decision is upon us. The economic system will collapse as do all capitalistic system due to the accumulation of wealth, but this time taking on more debt to resolve it will not be a possibility due to the tremendous debt which exists already. Consequently, an entirely new system of economics will need to be implemented. And with this new system will come a new philosophy as the old one is incapable of resolving these issues.

Many of these reforms could result from wars which might be on the horizon. Wars of unification which can not be avoided in the process of unifying mankind within one or fewer than existing systems.

The Reign Of Finance (Top)

What is Finance.

Finance is really no more than leadership. It is one man or group of men saying "Because you do not have the integrity, or social standing to enable yourself to make large investments we, the financiers, will help you for a profit". It results from a lack of organization on the part of individuals and portrays a lack of responsibility of society towards its citizens. At some point in the future this will no longer be the case and thus finance will no longer exist.
