I just had a thought. It’s difficult to stay alive, but not because of biological reasons. We are all born with good cells, for the most part, that will carry us into old age if we simply eat a decent diet and avoid self harm.
What’s difficult about staying alive is navigating the exogenous variables. There are the daily threats to our lives, like getting hit by a bus. But there are also generational changes that force people to adapt. Nothing ever stays the same.
For example, I’ve been noticing for a while that I’m way too comfortable doing business on my smart phone in bed before I get up to go to my desktop. It turns out that it’s a documented phenomenon people in their teens and twenties call ‘bed rot’. I’m 57 and dealing with a new threat to existence caused by a technology that did not exist a few years ago. (I am writing this essay using the bed rot method)
The next big threat will be coming from any number of technological advances, from AI to CRISPR. Governments will be become increasingly a threat to our livelihood and existence. Look for robotic dogs and drones coming to your home soon.
We even have to make sure that we are not killed by man-made weather. The Geoengineering has already caused numerous large storms that have killed many people. I escaped a few big hurricanes last year. Those were not normal hurricanes.
It’s much more complex now to stay alive with evil governments forcing deadly vaccines into us, and so forth. A big percentage of the population was not smart enough to dodge the gene shots. (there are many secret plans to mass poison us, from fluoride in the water to sulfur dioxide and aluminum in the chemtrails. Bill Gates has dreamed up other plans, like mosquitoes)
This is how humans have evolved by natural selection. The climate would fluctuate and force certain portions of the human race to adapt (1.2 to 0.7 million years ago, the Mid-Pleistocene Transition was the most extreme). That’s why we developed big brains. Only those who could adapt survived. Prior to this period, humanoid species had small brains. (the invention of fire to cook meat also helped brains grow).
We focus on our biological health to delay death. However, that is the easiest part of living. Adapting to constant external threats is the hard part.
The Bee Gees song Stayin’ Alive and the film Saturday Night Fever come to mind. They are about people navigating the dangers of Brooklyn and modern life.
- Well, now, I get low and I get high
- And if I can’t get either, I really try
- Got the wings of heaven on my shoes
- I’m a dancin’ man and I just can’t lose
- You know it’s all right. It’s OK
- I’ll live to see another day
- But we can try to understand
- The New York Times’ effect on man
- Whether you’re a brother
- Or whether you’re a mother
- You’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive
- Feel the city breakin’
- And everybody shakin’
- And we’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive
- Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive
- Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive
- (Hey, yeah)
