Why I stopped arguing with my dog.

I had an epiphany the other day. Well that's not strictly true. More like, a creeping suspicion became fully realized the other day.
I forget that humans are the product of evolution and part of the animal kingdom. (This is debated by one of the groups  I will be discussing in this post.)  No offense to any Neanderthal Americans out there, we apparently have bit of Neanderthal DNA in us. But at one point in our history, Neanderthal and Cro -Magnon lived together. Neanderthal died out but Cro-Magnon flourished and became us.

We are still evolving and seem to be at a crossroads again.  The latest hallmarks of development in humanity are forward thinking, progressiveness, open mindedness, definitely more advanced. The old version of humans?  The neo neanderthals? Fearful, violent, superstitious, and lets be honest, dumber. So my epiphany? We've been arguing with another species. Ham Adams was born out of this impulse.
Now I see the silliness of it. It's like arguing with my dog.
It's silly to get mad or expect reason instead of a steamy turd on the living room carpet. If you are reading this and say to yourself, "Ham, I didn't evolve from no monkey." Sorry, you are part of the evolutionary dead end group.  If you are counting on an invisible man in the sky, astrology, or some other form of magical thinking to intercede on your behalf? Dead end.
Think life and happiness is all about the obscene acquisition of green bits of paper? Dead end.
Think weaker members of the tribe should be left to fend for themselves, there's only enough for me!! Dead end.
Think color of skin, sexuality, or superstitions different from yours matter? Dead end.
Think you should pray for me? Well. Thanks. I'll think for you.
Unlike homosexuality, for some this may be a choice. I know for me evolution means finding myself  embarrassed by my neolithic roots once in while. So at first, evolution seemed more a choice but like many things that frighten cave people, thought inspires more and more thought. That used to scare me too. And there may even have been a time in my life when I may have wanted the new information to stop and turn it all over to the lord. Now I'm happy and comfortable with the ever increasing darkness that comes with ever increasing light.

 Not sure how the Neo Neahnderthals'll die out. I'm guessing dietary, fatty bacon & chicken sandwiches etc. or hopefully shoot each other with those guns they seem to love so much.

So  Modern man, thank you for fire, the wheel, and the other developments of the last 30,000 yrs, but you're outdated. We need to go to different planets, cure cancer; end hunger, poverty, illiteracy, and can't use a species that panics at every new thing that comes along. Like the Neanderthals before you, we will carry some of your DNA with us. (Although a more advanced model than you we are still human and will fuck and even have a baby or two with morons) But you've served your purpose and belong in a diorama in a museum somewhere.  Not in public office or in serious debate.  There, there. Don't be sad!
You are going to a magic kingdom with rides to eat fried dough with Jesus for eternity after you all die out. Okay?
