From an evolutionary perspective, the humanity is heading for a disaster.
At the primitive level, we are going from monkey brains full of life with emotions, feelings and observations to monkey brains with no emotions and feelings at all. Our primitive human brain has three ways of learning – emotions during childhood(strongest), feelings during adolescence(stronger) and observations(strong) during adulthood.
With the modern lifestyle, we’ve already lost emotions to an extent and now we are losing feelings too. After losing feelings, most of us are getting very strong at the observation skills (analytical skills) – which describes the modern psychopathy capitalism structure; and some are losing the ability to observe – which completely stops the body’s will to live – cause the evolution wants to weed them out to make the species intelligent and better.
From an evolutionary perspective – when someone loses emotions, they get depressed – they can’t reproduce, when someone loses feelings they become a psychopath – either they don’t wan’t to reproduce or they won’t be able to find a suitable mate(because they are either way too picky or are perceived as not nice). If someone loses observation skills, they get dumber and they won’t be able to find a suitable mate either.
And dumbs, psychopaths and depressed are not living their life the way a human is supposed to.
The happiness, sadness, disgust, fear, surprise and anger is leaving the humanity and that’s what made us the super species that we are now.
We are getting more observational/analytical than all the past generations but the feelings and emotions are moving away from our lives at an alarming rate. Some primates are emotional and some are clever. Humanity ‘was’ both.
Children learn and laugh when something makes them happy. They cry when they encounter something unpleasant. When a kid’s feelings get hurt, they cry. When a kid felt genuinely happy and loved – they felt happy and nice. They tried to become a better person and wanted to make the world a better place. When an adult was great at observation, they left more knowledge for the coming generations. There was no next step after that.
Humans never do anything bad when they feel happiness (positive emotions). That’s what made us gentle and nice and that’s what we call humanity. Humans are always at their best and they wish the best for others. They have mercy in their hearts.
That’s all we were until the modern medicine and technology evolved. We are going from being emotional societies full of life to feelingless and emotionless individuals.
Imagine a generation where everyone is either psychopath or depressed.
We were not supposed to live this long – both in terms of age and time!!!
