Survival of the fittest.
Manage episode 522526148 series 3651147
While humanity has historically been focused on physical survival - a pre-occupation that persists, and in more recent times, that focus has evolved into physical "thriving" - advancing what the species is capable of achieving, and enhancement of physical comfort and pleasure with reduced labor or effort, the risk of ultimate extinction has actually increased, as basic skillsets have eroded, and automation and machination has replaced human labor in almost every way. Is it fair to assume then, that our next survival instinct will be solely focused on our spiritual survival? While survival prep will continue to compete with more spiritual pursuits, will we ultimately find ourselves opting to reinforce our spiritual strength in resolute acceptance of the inevitable physical end we will all face? Is physical survival really the goal of human evolution or is there something greater?
