1. Thou shall not centralize power

We are born with power inherent in us. Why cede it to governments (capitalist, socialist, royal, and whatever other brand)? Why forever run after parties, however revolutionary, thinking they will do the right thing when in power… when we know from experience this is usually not the case?

Cultural Evolution

In all terrestrial organisms, information is transmitted between generations by means of the genetic code; and genetic evolution takes place through natural selection acting on modifications of this code.

In human cultural evolution, information is also transmitted between generations by means of language and writing.

This second mode of evolution gave our species enormous adaptive advantages. While genetic changes are random and slow, cultural changes are purposeful and rapid.

For example, when our ancestors moved out of Africa and spread over Europe and Asia, they did not adapt to the colder climate by growing long fur, but instead invented clothing.

16 December 2020 (FAO)* — A vegetable that tastes like bread? A lesser-known cousin of the artichoke? A food that is both a vegetable and a grain? Who said that fruits and vegetables are boring! In the world of fruits and vegetables, there is much to discover.
