Goodbye Alpha Male

ad

I have told my buddy Pankration and Noviceaas about this piece that I have been working on and decided to post it even though I didn't take it as far as I wanted. All I keep hearing in my head is “moving forward in reverse”

I was watching a national Geographic show a while back. They were diving in an underwater cavern that was protected because there were these special fish. These fish had not seen sunlight in so long that this species no longer had eyes. Consider evolution being guided by environmental and external pressures, this fish no longer needs sight, so why should evolution preserve it? The eyes were a waste of energy and unnecessary.

On the Galapagos Island lives the flightless Cormorant. It has reduced its wings size and can no longer fly. You could argue that this is still evolution and call it the adaptation of species but some would call it “de-evolution or devolution”. The seriousness of this is that an ability that is lost could possibly be lost forever.

A misconception is that species evolve or change because they need to adapt to environmental demands. This is a fallacy called “teleology”. 99 percent of all species that ever lived are extinct. There is no requirement that species always adapt successfully. Another misconception is that increasing complexity is the necessary outcome of evolution. In fact, decreasing complexity is common in the record of evolution.

While writing this I keep reflecting on our worthy ancestors before the agricultural period and how freaking brutal and bad ass they must have been and their children learning how to survive at an early age. Now we all live in a box and our kids stay in the house with video games and suffer from ADD and other diagnosis that could possibly be turned on because of the Epigenetic Effect

Lets talk about the “Epigenetic Effect” : The term 'epigenetic', which literally means 'outside conventional genetics', is now used to describe the study of stable alterations in gene expression potential that arise during development and cell proliferation.

Now the Alpha Male... Aside from Sports, law enforcement or the Military I can’t think of a place for an alpha male, how many people do you know that have gotten great promotions and pay raises while they are some of the most unqualified illiterate people? Employers LOVE nut huggers. Companies love “Yes People” They don’t want an Alpha male, they want a yes man (A Dummy). I turn on the radio in my truck and the commercials are trying to dumb me down. And just in case I don’t think it’s funny the there is laughter after the punch line. Do you ever just listen to the TV and not watch it? A lot of the commercials and some shows are actors who act mildly retarded and there is also laughter to remind you when to laugh as well, programming you. I think the genetic alpha male expression is not being turned on. I think that we are "trying" to adapt to a society that is not normal for us and this is this why so many people are seeking mental health.

I would love to see this get heavy into some sociological, psychological concepts as well as political science

alpha males are high self-esteem men.... and In prisons, they proven that most of the people have high-self esteem.
