The theory of evolution started really with Charles Darwin. He stated that all of the species we know today, are the result of billions of years of “natural selection” in which every trait that didn’t had a use, was modified for other. In other words everything that was useless evolved into something with a specific function. This theory was explained in detail on the book he wrote in 1859, “On the Origin of Species”. Darwin’s Theory of Evolution is a slow gradual process. Darwin wrote, “…Natural selection acts only by taking advantage of slight successive variations; she can never take a great and sudden leap, but must advance by short and sure, though slow steps.”

However, the evolution of human being started as soon as humans began to relate with other humans. Basically when society appears, is when humans see the necessity of living in a constant movement, to be changing, in order to adapt to other ways of thinking, or simply other ways of living. But this eternal change, will cause society to end right where it started, as “animals” that make only the necessary for surviving.

Thomas Hobbes wrote that life in a state of nature was “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short”. And some ancient legends from around the world, explained how was life in that state, in that nature state. For example a phrase from the Bible’s Genesis “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was chaos, and there was darkness over the abyss.” Many legends speak of the chaos that preceded creation. “Except for the whirling chaos, nothing moved: There was no Sun, no Moon, no stars. There was no day or night, no year, no seasons. There was no way to tell time. There was no reason to tell time. There was no concept of time. The beginning—the creation—was the beginning of time and space, of form and change.”

It was the beginning of society and civilization what gave life, and the world, a twist, there is no way to tell if this twist was good or bad, but something changed. Perhaps it was the beginning of consciousness. “Before the beginning” stories from every society exhibit these themes: darkness without Sun or Moon or stars, whirling chaos, something that glowed, no civilization, timelessness.

Social sciences analysis’s stated that it is impossible for men to grow alone; people need to be surrounded in order to learn from their environment. So society is needed, and the influence, whether if it is good or bad, some kind of influence shape the way in which every individual thinks.

Then if we analyze society was a group, it will always search for the way to learn more things, to exploit every resource given, to get to some answers. Human beings are always looking for the easy way to solve something; they need to have the answers to all. In this way humans create things, to help them to some duties, while they are “breaking their backs” trying to solve other things. But the more things they create, the closest they get to their primitive state.

Let’s talk about devolution, what is devolution?
1. The act or fact of devolving; passage onward from stage to stage. 
2. The passing on to a successor of an unexercised right. 
3. Law. The passing of property from one to another, as by hereditary succession. 
4. Biology. Degeneration. 
5. The transfer of power or authority from a central government to a local government.

By using these definitions the most accurate in this case is number 4 “Biology. Degeneration.” So, what is degeneration? 1. The process of degenerating.  2. The condition or state of being degenerate. 3. Pathology. A) Process by which a tissue deteriorates, loses functional activity, and may become converted into or replaced by other kinds of tissue. B) Condition produced by such a process.

So basically devolution can be defined as the degeneration of human beings, as the process in which humans deteriorate, and lose their functional activity, so they stop being humans, and transform into an animal, or even a vegetable, depending on the level of devolution that each individual has.

There are mathematical theories, like algorithms for example; an algorithm is a step-by-step procedure designed to achieve a certain objective in a finite time. When you repeat these steps, following a pattern for a period of time, is scientifically proved that you will end right where you started. Take the “Rubik’s Cube” for instance, this cube has been really popular among people, and it was thought that to solve it you needed a great ability, and intelligence, but actually is just memory. All you just have to remember is a series of steps, and do them repeatedly and the cube will get to its original form, in other words you would solve it. These series of steps are just algorithms. Then if they have been mathematically proved, those theories stating that if you repeat something certain amount of times, you will end right where you started. Consequently, the question arises, why not use this idea, or theory, and apply it to life, to society, to the world as everyone knows it? And, basically concluding, that there is no forward movement whatsoever, there is no advance; it is just a backwards movement, a path going down the hill, going back, to the basic primitive state.

A simple look to a newspaper, the TV news, or else, will show the fact that human beings, despite technological advances and other such things, continue to demonstrate their ability to cause each other great harm. John MacArthur, in his book “The Battle for the Beginning” refers to the human condition as devolution. But some say that humanity is the way it is, just because it isn’t sufficiently evolved. Some even say the animals are farther along because they don’t hurt each other to the degree humans hurt each other, or other species. John MacArthur says in his book; “Deliverance from this state -the human condition, a fallen state- will not come from any process of evolution, either. In fact, the whole creation-including the human race-is now subject to a kind of devolution, which no amount of education, enlightenment, environmentalism, psychology, civilization, or technology will ever be able to reverse.” What is needed is redemption.

Moreover technology is supposed to be a useful help to achieve evolution, but what this is really creating? The answer is quite simple, machines; people are being dehumanized by their own invention. Though, this is not a new idea, great thinkers, philosophers, musicians, and even writers, had thought of society becoming slaves of their own desire of evolution.

Let’s take Aldous Huxley, one novel writer; author of “Brave New World”. He wrote Brave New World in 1931, when technology wasn’t so advanced, but even so, he described the future, a not so far future, where machines, and the idea of progress, made everyone just like robots. He explains in his novel how the people with “power” controlled birth, something so natural in our epoch, and it was genetically modified, they could create anything as they pleased. This design of people even before they were born, created a “perfect” society, where the upper classes, decide what was going to be the future of every single individual, basically they created “humans”, with the use of their “advances” in technology. This idea of future is not far from what people is now living. Thanks to the many investigations scientists have carried out the possibility of modifying something genetically, is not a future dream it is reality. Is there much time left in order to start modifying society genetically, and the so-called leaders of the world stop leading humans, and start ruling machines, simple robots, created as they wish?

This idea of modifying babies before they are born can be seen as something impossible, but nowadays we can see this can be done. Now there are some techniques, in which the baby’s DNA is manipulated before birth, in order to get the best traits out of it. Something by the ideas shown in the movie “Gattaca”, in which parents could “make” their offspring in the way they liked, diseases could be removed, the possibility of becoming alcoholic, or drug addict, was controlled. Parents could chose whether they wanted a girl or a boy, their kid eye color, hair color, basically it was like if they took a giant piece of clay, and molded the perfect kid. In this society jobs were given according to the DNA of the person applying to it. The people that were born in the natural way, couldn’t get a good job, and had to work cleaning toilets in some big company, or cleaning someone’s house, they could only work in really bad jobs, which didn’t require education in any kind. It was a society like that of the past times, in which the white people ruled everything, and the black ones could only aspire to be in some low rate job. So the point is made here, that futurist society shown in Gattaca, was really a copy of the society after slavery was abolished, now not with the distinction between black and white people, but with natural born, and artificially made people.

Devolution in human senses is obvious when we start analyzing, how those sense have “grown” through time. Let’s start with the hearing sense. Now hearing music is no longer something for selected people, everyone has an audio player, and they can reproduce music in the way they want, or like. Not caring about the level of decibels that are arriving to their ears. Ear buds of every shapes and colors are made, and even the little children have them. This technologic creation is making that this sense devolve, people is losing their hearing ability faster, now is not only the old people who worries about getting deaf, the young ones are suffering this waste of something vital for the daily life, they are losing the audition. But is not only the hearing sense the one which suffer the human unstoppable devolution, another example is the taste sense. In the old days people used to eat at home, a homemade meal, something within a balanced diet. In this generation there are counted people which continue eating in this way, but the common denominator, is to go to a fast food store, buy a hamburger, that preferably due to the fast way of living, is already done, who knows for how many days does that hamburger been in that store waiting for someone to purchase it?, some others who are more devolved prefer an easy way to eat, and just buy something trough the drive through lane. We now consider a “quarter pound” a fine dinner. Finally, the sight sense, what gives us the image of how the world looks like. In nowadays the visual diseases are more common, why? The answer is really simple, technology; TV’s, computers, cell phones, makes our eyes to effort, to read something, or maybe just the combination of lights and colors, reduce the capacity of having a 20/20 sight. And the worst part of the story is that people know it, but they simply don’t care. Most teens today get their visual media from sites like YouTube.  Instead of sitting in a theater or in front of a high definition TV, they’d rather narrow their eyes at a computer and watch two minutes of distorted blocky clips of people “failing” or making fun of real movies.

Life in the XXI century can be called by many, an easy life. People have every tool needed; now there are computers, TVs, cell phones, etc. And they are used to make every personal relation easier, communication is simpler, basically everyday living is easy. But of course, there are always two sides in a coin. People have relied much on this “supposed tools” that they have become machines as well. They are no longer thinking beings, which question their surroundings, now there is no longer the man or woman who would stand in front of a crowd to support their beliefs. These “tools” made society an animal, a routine animal, so hard that if they are far from one of these “communication” servers, they don’t feel human anymore. Furthermore, just to think about the fact of how society is blinded with what is streamed daily on the TV news; every show even if it is a fictional show, creates a fantasy world that swallows the viewer deep into its guts. But this is not only a TV issue. Let’s take computers; now if someone doesn’t have a computer, he or she is not a person. The main idea of computers is to keep people busy, so they won’t think for themselves.  Society is just drunk, drunk with technology.

Technology the way people have created it, as a tool, as a useful guide to understand the world, has become a weapon also. There is no privacy guaranteed at all, there is no evidence that we are not being spied on. For example TV shows, they use a mechanism to know who is watching it, and for how long. Internet service, use something to know who is visiting which web page, and now exactly from where, by using the IP address. Some cell phones today can be hacked to enter the camera of the phone and see everything in the reaching ratio of it, or the calls can be heard from another place . What prove do people have that they are not being watched by someone?

This society resembles almost perfectly a novel written on 1949, by another visionary writer, far ahead from his epoch; George Orwell, with the novel “1984”, where government surveillance is shown, a totalitarian regime, and a public mind control. This novel presents “somebody” in charge of everybody; Big Brother, and how it controlled everyone using screens located in every home, these screens recorded everything done, and broadcasted it to people in charge to determine if the activities performed were dangerous to society. Also George Orwell mentioned how there were people in charge of modifying newspapers, by editing the news in ways that show that Big Brother was always right, and that everyone who tries to defy him, is a public enemy, and should be punished with a death sentence. What if today these methods are used, to keep us controlled? Just as rats in a lab. It is known by everyone that when we walk on the streets we are being watched, that there are cameras on malls, restaurants, and basically on all the public spaces, so what assures people that the government is not watching every move they make to keep them controlled?

So, basically there are no human beings anymore. There is no way to distinguish the difference between simple laboratory controlled animals, and humans. Now every single human being is controlled by one way or another, in order to keep him controlled, and organize his life. And as simply rat labs, humans let this world, this devolvement to absorb them. They don’t put any kind of resistance, and just go with the flood. Men are watched from every angle, and lose its freedom, by losing its freedom, become just a peon in a game, easy to manipulate, to influence. A great analogy to try to explain the idea, will be, that human beings basically become their own pets.

Society will end just where it started, as simple living things, unable to progress. Glued to a computer or a TV, or any kind of technological “advance” that allows them to “do nothing”, that thinks for them, that little by little makes them animals, that can’t think, or do something by themselves, because they are used to have a machine doing everything. And no matter how old is the idea, or how many times it is studied, people are just blinded from reality, and just refuse to understand and accept the truth, the way it is.

This devolution is not only harming human beings, but everything that surrounds it, nature, animals, etc. Nature in the way humans exploit every resource they have, and animals, in the ways that when they destroy nature, they are making a chain effect, and with low nature, or not nature at all, it is really difficult, almost impossible for animals to survive.

As humans return to its primitive state, it assures to take the world with him, so maybe the end of the world, will come first, this end that could have been stopped if humans weren’t so “hungry” of controlling everything. But no, humans have to assure to get every option to gain some power.

This idea of a future in which everyone is controlled, and acts just as machines, is not new, and has been treated by musicians, writers, and so on. Some visionary people that woke to reality, and saw many years before that the consequences show themselves, imagined that if people and society in general continued acting in the way they were, it will get back to the style of the primitive societies. And lose their human condition.

Just explain to me the reasons

Just tell me truth

If you can just stop lying

You have said goodbye too many times before

Why this time is different?

Tell me what did I do to push away?

I love you with all my heart, with all my soul

I gave you every moment, every minute of my life

Did you enjoy it?

Did you enjoy playing with me?

Does it make you feel bigger?

I’m not crying now

I did

But today is different

I don’t care what you do

I did

Just go…

Why are you still haunting me?

Just go

Please…

No sabría que hacer

Porque te he tenido siempre junto a mí

Empujándome de las orillas del camino para que no me desvié…

Ahora eres tu quien me necesita y no sé qué ayuda darte

No sé como volver

A tenerte junto a mí

Intento buscar las palabras que te digan cuanto me preocupas, cuanto me encanta escuchar tu voz

Palabras que te demuestren lo preocupada que me tienes… para mostrarte que me tienes viviendo

En un limbo…

Sé que eres fuerte y que no importa nada seguirás adelante… pero todo en la vida acaba, y aunque yo no quiera que

Tu camino termine tan pronto, tal vez no haya nada que yo pueda hacer, solo intentar día tras día, hora tras hora, minuto a

Minuto, que te des cuenta que mi vida sin ti seria un caos… que te necesito para continuar, que quiero que veas cada logro

Que consigo, no quiero que la historia que llevamos escribiendo acabe tan abruptamente

Y sigo intentando y fracaso cada día una vez más

Y así las palabras que escribo poco a poco dejan de tener un sentido coherente… y son simple ideas de lo que no te he dicho

Y que tal vez nunca te diré… y cada letra mas es una lagrima por mi mejilla

Personas como tu pocas…  haberte conocido hizo que todo en mi vida tuviera sentido…

Sencillamente te quiero dar gracias por todo que lo has hecho por mi… porque tú sabes lo que es mover el mundo, por que

Mis caprichos te han hecho hacerlo más de 100 veces… y mi inmadurez no permitió que te dijera cuanto te quiero, y ahora

Que te siento tan lejos, y que nuestro camino parece estar a punto de terminar me doy cuenta de todo….

No quiero perderte ahora…

Resiste!

Enciendo la radio, miro al frente y me percato de que ya no puedo seguir aqui, tan estatica!

Necesito avanzar,

necesito seguir un camino,

que nadie quiere que siga,

necesito llegar al punto donde ya no pueda regresar,

donde todo es oscuro y se encuentra la calma.

Empiezo el camino,

no se a donde es que voy especificamente,

pero la luna siempre me a mostrado el camino y esta noche no sera distinta,

me decido a simplemente seguirla, encontrar el camino,

abrirme por donde sea para tener a la luna siempre delante de mi,

y parar cuando ya decida ocultarse.

Ando, y ando, y ando, y ahora las estrellas son mas claras,

ya las luces de la cuidad no me ciegan…

Everything is so peaceful. I close my eyes for a moment. I open them again, and there you are; quiet, just staring at my eyes, waiting for me to break this silence.

I analyze your expression, I concentrate in your eyes, there is something reflecting on them, but it is not me. “What is in your mind?” –I ask you.  “It is not you anymore” –You answer.

I feel everything inside me becomes a giant puzzle, and every little piece falls apart, everything is shattered. I can’t mutter a word.

“Have you found yourself? Have you found your voice? Where have you found it? In a mind too twisted to interpret? Where have you found your heart? Did you ever realize it was there?” –You continue talking. “You will keep the smiles, the moments, you can still pick up the pieces and glue the puzzle back together” –You say to me and hug me one last time and turn your back and begin walking, walking away from me.

I look at your back, every time further away, while I feel the tears rolling through my cheeks, and I just think “Smiles are for happy people, moments are for people worth remembering, puzzles are for people with too much time”.

I wipe the last tear from my cheek and scream to you “Good bye”.

muy seguro de ti mismo, sin duda.

Pero una falta total de ego te hace invencible.

EL VACÍO ES INDESTRUCTIBLE.

–Mario Mendoza (Buda Blues)

Y ese dragon ya estaba cansado de ser gordo, y no entendia por q lo era?

Entonces decidio empezar a hacer ejercicio y nada no bajaba de peso…

Entonces el dragon se emputo y se hizo un bypass gastrico

Pero se dio cuenta q ya no comia tanto pero ahora le sobraba mucha piel

Entonces se hizo una cirugia plastica y wash! quedo asi re papasote

Pero el dragon era rarito y no le gustaban las dragonas XD

Y se enamoro de una oveja q era muy pachoncita xD

Pero la oveja era de un mundo muy distinto y no le gustaban los dragones lindos

Y sabia q no podia estar con el dragon pq era muy peligroso

Y entonces el dragon se deprimio y se fue a mcdonalds y se comio una bigtasty

Y PRUM se engordo otra vez y penso q ya no le iba a gustar a la oveja y se puso muy triste…

La oveja lo vio asi todo triste y se fue a reconfortarlo…

Y le dijo q no era pq fuera gordo si no pq el era muy grande

Y ella era muy pequeña y las cosas no funcionarian

Entonces el dragon se invento una forma para q la oveja lo quisiera

Y  le llevaba a la pequeña oveja una bigtasty todos los dias

Y la oveja solo comia bigtasty de dia y de noche….

Y se fue engordando cada vez mas y mas…

Y  luego quedo como una oveja mutante y ya no le gustaba a los ovejos

Y se deprimio y siguio comiendo y comiendo bigtasty

Y se engordo tanto q ya veia al dragon como alguien de su misma especie…

Y tun tun tun…. se cuadro con el dragon

Pero todo el mundo los miraba raro y la oveja ya no se sentia linda

Y luego llego un man asi re alzado y empezo a atacar al dragon

Y  la oveja estaba tan deprimida q no hacia nada (re piroba la oveja)

Pero luego se dio cuenta de q si mataban al dragon ya nadie la iba a querer…

Asi q se paro apenas como pudo y se acerco al man alzado y le dijo como

Y el man le dijo

Y  la oveja se emputo y tun tun tun…. se lo comio!

Y se dio cuenta q el mansito sabia igual q la bigtasty!!!!

Y entonces ahora solo comia mansitos alzados y TRUN se hizo chocapic

Y se acabaron los mansitos alzados del mundo y la oveja y el dragon vivieron felices…

Hasta que les dio un paro cardiaco por haber comido tantas bigtasty y tantos mansitos alzados JAJAJA

Little white spots

Surrounded by grey masses

Everything looks old.

Over a black paper how much color could exist?

Over a black paper there’s a big white circle

That illuminates it to see the monochromatic figures

How the combination of black and white can produce colors?

Beautiful colors that can only be seen shaped like this over a black paper.

Yellow

Blue

Red

Green

Even purple

Comes to life over a black paper

There is a rainbow forming around the big white circle

Is not a big rainbow

It is small

Unique

Only few can notice its beauty

Over a black paper everything looks infinite

There is no time nor space

Over a black paper every rule

Every law

Comes to pieces

Because over a black paper everything could happen

Or not happen at all.

Everything is destined to be repeated

Everything follows a pattern.

Can we break this never-ending path?

We change our ways of acting

Our ways of behaving

We even change our ways of thinking

But everything continues in the same way.

We are looking always for an answer

How many repetitions do we need to find it?

I’ve learned my lesson

Or at least I think I did

This was enough…

I won’t pass through the same once more.
