Stumbleupon Have You Had A Robotomy?
August 14th, 2010, Gary to
himself.
Q: Why
are so many people stuck in boring, unhealthy jobs and have unsatisfactory lives?
A: They allow
others to think for them, and through misuse have lost their natural creative ability.
The neo-Darwinist view of evolution is very dangerous because it effectively excludes
consciousness, mind, intention, creativity and all that is subjective and valued in people, and reduces people
to being simply victims of their genes and therefore mindless machines in a constant, competitive battle
to survive.
This so-called 'scientific' and objective way of understanding ourselves dehumanises
us, and is mainly responsible for the development of machine-like job roles in vast factories where the goal is
efficiency - not humane and creative ways to live.
It is very dangerous for the future of our species because this causes us to despair
and hate our mindless jobs, and by extension, ourselves.
This then becomes a vicious circle, and people become victims and blame
others for their problems.
The courageous way out of this destructive pattern is for people to take
responsibility for their lives, which really means to learn how to respond creatively to their life
challenges, to learn to think for themselves and understand that the industrial/ materialistic system can only
provide more 'stuff' but rarely inner peace or joy.
