The Self-destructive Gene
Excerpt from essay titled, ‘Unpopular and Unpalatable’
“The five previous extinction events were caused by either geological cataclysms or extraterrestrial incursions. This is the first time a planet has been brought down by an idea.”
If one looks at these issues through the filter of genetics, then western civilization’s DNA has been infected by a self-destructive gene which has been incubating, mutating and spreading (exponentially) in all the wrong directions since we advanced super-humans first came up with the ‘idea’ which led to the invention of agriculture some ten-thousand years ago.
Even today we can trace the infection back to a very precise moment in human evolution, to the exact moment when the self-destructive gene first began to infect its unsuspecting host. That precise moment was when early modern humans first began to take control of Planet Earth (away from nature). That precise moment was when early modern humans first began to manufacture their own system of self-serving and elitist-driven laws which were independent of and disassociated from the higher laws of nature.
That precise moment was when early modern humans first began interfering with nature and its ancient and time-enduring laws of balance and order. The poisons inherent within the ‘seed’ of human interference were so virulent and insidious that they infected every branch, every leaf, every twist and turn, and every future generation of western civilization’s development. The cumulative effect of ten-thousand years of unchecked growth and mutation (of the self-destructive gene) is the now-imminent collapse of the human system.
