Denial of Truth

"Recent analyses of fossil DNA have revealed that modern humans occasionally had sex and produced offspring not only with Neanderthals but also with Denisovans, a relatively newfound lineage whose genetic signature apparently extended from Siberia to the Pacific islands of Oceania." That's an excerpt from an article titled, "What We Learned About Human Origins In 2013 Will Blow Your Mind," that appeared on the Huffington Post site recently.

So, here we are in the 21st century, a marker ridiculously based upon the birth of a possible mythical Jesus. The entire human species (i.e., chimpo sapiens) is mired in ignorance and self-destructive foolishness. Why? By "decoding" the human mitochondrial DNA and Y-chromosome, a nearly complete legacy of our species has been mapped. We are clearly descendents of ancient chimpanzees and apes. Yes, smelly ol' chimps. Yet, the majority of people are locked in denial, oftentimes of a violent nature.

Typical Truthful Hottie

The nature of denial is clear. If our animal legacy was universally accepted, then all of our core beliefs about human exceptionalism, dominion over the planet and other species, belief in "race" and bloodlines, religion, politics, culture, "civilization," and the whole gamut of human concoctions will be reduced to sub-moot. Absolutely nothing will make sense. And, clearly, we will come face-to-face with our animal origins. Our eternal stupidity will be exposed. The "inner animal" will be laid bare.

Take for example, the inane depth of ignorance that I was privy to overhear, courtesy the paper-thin walls at Slob Manor (read: rental housing). The "chef," consuming yet another full meal at 9pm, was engaged in a discussion with Alan about the alleged "energy fields" of the human body. Both of them apparently have invested in "crystals," essentially bogus, albeit expensive, stones that have some kind of alleged supernatural powers. Mind you, Alan has three computers set up in his room to triangulate a force field within a central region where, I assume, he sleeps. So, we already know where Alan's coming from ... the "New Age" religious cult.

Ultimately, the catalyst of their curiosity is morbid fear, that is, the fear of death. The "chef" is the perfect dupe to fall into the "New Age" ruse. His obsession with organic food and "holistic" (read: shamanistic) cures alludes to a deep fear of mortality. Consuming six pounds of ginger root is not going to prevent him from dying.

The real truth is available for those who are open to it. The human genome map is one step. The science of quantum physics is the other. In other words, the Church of Evolution and the Church of Quantum Physics have their doors wide open for us. The sooner we all join the congregations and "baptize" ourselves, the quicker we can resolve much of human stupidity.
