I have written this to express my thoughts on the current nature of
society. I woud like some comments expressing peoples opinions on the
matter.




Evolution of the mind is the future. Survival is based on what a
organisms mental abilities are, and how they use them. If Homo-sapiens
survive in these conditions, where mental abilities define survival or
extinction of individual organisms, Homosapiens would develop a
physical body that would increase the chance of survival in the
conditions that they live in. The mentally successful would thrive. I
picture a person who lives in this kind of future as one that would
look like an alien in movies. as a people of this kind we would lose
the ability to fight without the use of technology, as fighting
without the use of technology would not become an essential survival
attribute, therefore eliminating it's need in a future evolution.

If survival is based on who is smarter, any evolution that would occur
in a prehistoric environment would not occur in that environment.
Traits that could possibly ensure the future of human survival in the
distant future, may never have a chance to imprint itself in our DNA.
I am not talking about traits that could be achieved at any time in
the chain of human evolution, I am talking about traits that could
only be attained through evolution in a direction different to the one
that we are currently following.

Imagine a world in which people lived in family groups, without
technology that bases survival on mental agility, but coordinated the
evolution of the mental aspect and the physical aspect of the body.
homosapiens are at a time where they have the choice to accept a
future as a mentally agile people with decreased functions in other
areas or to continue evolution in a way so that they have a chance in
the future to continue mental evolution coordination with physical
evolution.

Think of how a body is structured. A body has cells, cells do every
task a body needs to survive. when single cell organisms evolved into
multiple cell organisms, those different cells coordinated to increase
the capacity of functions that organism had. If the mental aspect and
the physical aspect of homo-sapiens evolved in coordination,
eventually the body will evolve to create new aspects to deal with the
situations that threaten the survival of the homosapien species while
coordinating the evolution of the mental aspects and the physical
aspects of our current abilities in order to ensure the chances of
evolving into a species with increased abilities.

We must as a species realise that the mind and the body evolve in
different paths, in order to ensure equality in the chain of the
evolution of the homosapien species we must consider the following
options, decrease the chance of survival based on physical ability to
reach a level equal to the chance of survival based on mental ability,
and keep a happy medium throughout the world with every race, or
remove all variables that promote survival based on mental ability,
let homosapiens evolve into more physically adept people, with
possibly evolution leading to another factor to balance as well as the
chances of survival based on physical and mental abilities.

With whatever decision homosapiens make I hope DNA is preserved so
that evolution can be steered if any mistakes are made.
