100 years since WWI Armistice.

Here's three images that contain  useful information.

The first two are the results of a survey of 'un-developed' indigenous, tribal, aboriginal societies... it reveals some clear patterns about social behavioural characterisitcs.. Check it out...

and

This survey makes clear that some societies are bully systems, and others are not, that there is a spectrum of behaviours that emerge, and the key in terms of violence, abuse and bullying is the way the society relates to and treats their children. There is further evidence gathered since then to show how this plays out in bio-social-psychological detail.

Empathy is healthy, bullying is not.

This is the core of human integrity.

Our egalitarian ancestors were biologically healthy in the truest sense of the word, utterly sustainable (Austrlian Aboriginals peoples are 60,000+ plus years of continious culture, who thrived through two massive climate changes without losing genetic diversity...)

Biological health includes healthy bonding, healthy sense of self and community, sensitivity, active liminal consciousness, empathy, creativity and robust health because the food is clean and there is plenty of varied physical activity involved in living in the wild..

The ability to notice and respond to enviornmental changes is also part of that healthy biolgical mandate... ad thatand get this - ALL this behaviour is learned, none of it programmed by genetics, all of it influencing and thus influenced by epi-genetics and situation/circumstance of growing enviornment.

For example the eye is programmed to see, but what it sees is largely learned - people from vastly different environments see in the same manner, but what they are attuned to notice in the most subtle of environmental variations is learned, by experience and either would be lost in the others environment. Eskimo's in the Desert, Bedouin in the Rain Forest.

We live within a bully social system, that is itself and institutionalised unresolved post-trauma outcome.

Wghich is why the tradition of describing nature as 'brutal' , as a struggle for survival, is a aprojection of the brutality of the hierarchical mind-set - bullies are fundamentally insecure, and so for them life is a struggle for control.

Hey ho - I know who we are.

And we are not of the Institutional mind, even as we are conditioned by it...

Now this....

I created this as a memorial to all those who have been murdered in wars.....

There are many people who survie war, who live with the trauma, the flash backs, the fear, the confusion, the depression, the desperation, the loss, the grief, the hatred and the love, courage, resilience and the urge to heal - way beyond the troops who 'serve'...

Trump claimed that some "just are not strong enough to handle it."

He was trying to be honest....even kind, in his strange way....

What he missed was that no-one is strong enough to endure chronic, organised violence and no-one ought ever be put in that position, not least civilians... we are not biologically adapted for such behaviour.

100 years on.

No-one ever needs war.

Thank you for reading this blog. All we need to do is be really honest, responsive to the evidence we find,and ready to reassess when new evidence emerges. The rest is easy.
