So, are we moving forward, or actually crawling backwards to where we came from...?
DareWin said that if you wanted to Win the evolution's game,
All you needed to do is adapt to it in the fittest way.
But wouldn't the dar-Winners be the ones creating the actual game and its rules, and thus surviving?
Pour more poor: It seems that humanity, for many specific reasons, is not moving forward, but probably sideward for quite some time. Generally speaking, there are more poor people in our days, more crimes, more atrocities, more racial and religious differences, while there are more resources and product solutions available, more security means, more wealth, more information and knowledge... Something is going wrong there...
Diver-cities: Cities were supposedly originally created to gather people in an organized fashion, to minimize the long distances, to improve services, health care, unite people together, and to give more opportunities. In the western world, it seems that a lot of things went wrong in the process of fulfilling that purpose. Cities are unquestionably where the air and water are more polluted; where there is more crime and more injustice taking place; where people have less space; where distances that are meant to be shorter become much longer with traffic; where the arts are meant to express the stories of our time and educate us but many times are filtered; where people abuse substances and destroy their lives; where children are less safe and free to play... where; where; where... in the cities.

Why; why; why? There is an amazing amount of inefficiency in our days, and an ineffective allocation of resources. Technology has advanced so much, yet many things around us, vital things, still remain prehistorical. People, companies and governments tend to focus on evolving services and attributes for their own profit's sake, and not sharing that knowledge with the rest, because they will lose power and shares... But, at the same time they are lying about it and delivering a benevolent image to the world. They, and we, are not learning from that. When it comes to chasing profit, one will forget the original goal and purpose to help, evolve, and improve (if that is not for profit as well)...
Cut the (cr)Act! If only we could stop the act in the middle, stand up, and leave or demand for it to stop. We are the ones paying to watch the show, right? So why aren't we doing it? No one wants to stand up or out from the crowd (or too few do). It's called social pressure... or more generally, fear. We still feel fear, even though we know what causes it. And it actually does not exist... It's all created in our heads. There are unwritten rules, and from all those small little fears that one feels, we fail to act or react to something we are morally and personally opposed and against. For instance, we see a homeless person in the street, but we are afraid to approach and help him or her and even engage into a conversation and support that person, because society will think we are either crazy or our status is insignificant to us, or bla bla bla... And there, we lose our humanity. Even at work, you shouldn't be open and kind to people, because that will show signs of weakness.. For what??
Darwin might have been right, but besides analyzing the "perfect fit" theorem, he should have restated that the one who makes the actual environment to thus better fit in it, is the one who survives in the end. A bit of a grey tongue on the blog today, but better out than in!

Speaking about work, it is funny how it has become a synonym to (economical) slavery. Especially these last few years, with this crisis (that curiously doesn't seem to be leaving any time soon), people are fired after decades of work, without a tiny bit of humanity or a grain of gratitude.
Wages are cut,
expenses increase,
sales and services drop,
and myriads of businesses cease...
...their operations. OK, that is a logical argument. But even if that is happening, we are most of all humans in this evolving "civilized" society we have created, and have to still act as humans. If not, then let's act like animals without any laws and norms. We are simply stuck in the middle of animal behaviors and civilized dont's. How confusing is that!
Common knowledge: The paradox is that we know how governments and companies work. We know it for quite some time. We have tons of movies, documentaries, stories, wikileaks, songs, news, and examples explaining to us what is happening out there and what is the main purpose behind all this. But we continue to deceive ourselves and believe that the next time something happens, it will be different. We fail to learn from our mistakes, from our own paradigms. Why oh why to we Devolve?
Afraid to react: Our societies have become more self-centered societies, where people fail to react and decide collectively. Yes, they do indeed protest and strike, but has this ever brought any significant result? Are governments affected more than the citizens of a city during a strike, or is it the other way around? We are too comfortable with all our things and possessions, with all our everyday indulgences and rhythms, and the hope we prosper even more, that we are afraid to react and lose everything, even if we are aware of how unfair our lives are. We don't know who to blame; or we do know but are too confused to be certain about it.
A fishy wish: Why aren't we reacting to any of that? When many companies all of a sudden make their services worse, so that they can charge more for the "premium" services which are not other than the normal services. Well, interests are the toppings, and money is the flavor that everyone wants to taste, and feel the satisfaction and pleasure. Add some spoons of marketing, and voila! You forget about the unfair conditions, you forget the reasons you fight, and you give in to the wonders of bla bla bla. You are in a fishbowl but with all the decorations you feel you are in the Pacific Ocean. We just don't get the message even through repetition. And that is Devolution...
