Are you Evolutionary or Revolutionary?

In 1963, Leon Megginson made an interesting point about survival and adaptation. He challenged the common belief that only the strongest or most intellectual species survive. According to Megginson, it is actually the species that can best adapt and adjust to their changing environment that have the best chance of survival. He referred to Darwin’s “Origin of Species” to support his argument, emphasizing that it’s not about strength or intelligence, but about accurately perceiving the environment and successfully adapting to it. This perspective offers a different lens through which to understand the concept of survival and evolution.

One of Megginson’s former students shared a valuable lesson they learned from him. They recalled that Megginson highlighted how Charles Darwin’s message was often misunderstood. Darwin didn’t say that only the strong survive, but rather that those who accurately perceive their environment and successfully adapt to it are the ones who survive. This insight challenges the traditional notion of survival of the fittest and emphasizes the importance of adaptability. It reminds us that survival is not solely determined by physical strength or intellectual prowess, but by the ability to understand and adapt to the ever-changing world around us.

Does Education help, or are we ‘designed’ to behave in certain ways?

Education plays a significant role in shaping our behaviour and helping us navigate through life. However, it is also true that some aspects of our behaviour are ingrained in us, almost like a design. Take, for example, the experience of living alone. A relative of mine recently moved into a flat and mentioned that one downside is the absence of someone reminding you to put things away. Now, most people would find that amusing, but I couldn’t help but recall the lesson I was taught growing up – “A place for everything and everything in its place.” It seems that some behaviours are deeply rooted in us, regardless of education or external influences.

When you combine the impact of education with military-adjoined schooling, like the CCF, it becomes clear that being organized is not solely dependent on external factors. You can be trained to be as organized as possible, even in the harshest conditions, like sitting in a muddy puddle for days on end. Meanwhile, there are others who struggle to even close a cupboard door and yet have the audacity to act entitled. It’s frustrating, and it often leads to distancing oneself from such individuals who refuse to face the challenges of reality. Nobody ever said life was easy, and that’s precisely the challenge we should be preparing ourselves for. So, why is it that these important life lessons seem to be fading away from our education system?

RE: Summarising our recent webinar.

I’m really fascinated by the discoveries and rediscoveries we’re making. It’s intriguing how particles, although not necessarily conscious of being particles, behave in a way that suggests a collective awareness. It’s like witnessing the evolution of a self-building nanobot. That realization makes ‘us’ incredibly advanced, like biologically recyclable robots, for the same reasons.

Hydrogen, for example, can imitate molecular bonding networks that it can perceive as a unified whole. It’s mind-boggling how we, as humans, embody the pinnacle of the artificial intelligence we often imagine, yet remain unaware of the intricacies of our own functioning. As irony would strike, it’s like we’re on a journey to uncover ourselves and comprehend the profound implications of it all.

I find it absolutely captivating. We exist on a planet, within a solar system, in a galaxy, within a vast universe, surrounded by countless other entities that we’re still trying to comprehend, all composed of the same fundamental elements. And all of that has evolved independently to reach this point, where it can recognize itself through us. It’s truly remarkable!

In essence, my education seems to be a deliberate step taken by evolution towards achieving minimal self-organization. It’s similar to how chaos can possess a capacity for apparent order, just like the absence of education. The only distinction, in terms of nanobot awareness, is that the latter presents an opportunity for a ‘revolution’ rather than evolution.

It is fascinating that it’s up to each individual to embrace or overcome that opportunity. I personally love living in the jungle because it aligns with who I am, and it’s a testament to my ability to adapt and survive in such an environment. Nevertheless, not everyone harbours the same inclination. Perhaps there’s another reason, unknown to me, behind the imperative of neither arranging nor disposing of anything. It’s a mystery, an enigma that both intrigues and captivates me.

The indicators of a larger, interconnected phenomenon are undeniably extraordinary. It is truly astounding how they materialize and the function they fulfil. Equally captivating is the recognition that most people, similar to other creatures, are unaware of these ongoing processes. Perhaps, the capacity to comprehend and adjust to the constantly evolving environment, as mentioned before, is being carried out ‘for’ us, and ‘we’, educated or not, are merely transient travellers on that path.
