HOW SURVIVAL and SUCCESS are LINKED

one perspective on what is happening in todays culture, is that we are still compelled by our fight for survival ...

Originally and over millions of years this drive was needed to survive the long centuries of hunger and freezing - this survival-energy belongs to all the "successful" species - it is the driving force which every succesful amoeba must have learnt, and which is our genetic blueprint, - but now - we apply this energy to the dimension of individuals seeking identity and confirmation ... because success=survival

the trauma of millions of years of cold and hunger .. and many other unimaginable forms of suffering .. leads to an understandable fear, and an understandable over compensation.
------------------------------------------

In the "civilised" 1st. world there is simply no reason to be always driven to act compulsively trying to find more security --- and yet our genetic bluepint drives us ... because success=survival

... in our modern mass-individuals culture our fight has become for the survival of the ego - and we are all lost in this same fight for, (or have given up the fight for), the recognition, identity and confirmation of our individual egos ... this is how we measure survival/success these days.

i dont think its greed --- and its nothing evil .. its just stupid -- a blind dumb habit - because we cant adapt quickly enough to the new conditions - we will need a few generations.

systems

when we put together the God hypothesis, the ego hypothesis and buddhas process hypothesis, ... (pantheism, stone circles) ... then we get a sense of the depth of the present question ... all these are different systems which over the centuries, thinkers in different cultures, have developed to cope with life and how the culture understood itself and its individuals, to give cultures a sense or reason, and people a belief ...

so, how can we develop new systems which can cope with what is actually happening on earth now? - the UN and the security council are maybe the first attempts ... internet is the new idea publishing medium - how can it be used?
