Evolution ALWAYS wins

Evolution on this planet works the way it needs to and the institutions and people who live here do want they feel they need to do in response. Evolution is an unstoppable force that has its own plan for us. We are simply riders upon this rock.

That sums up the dynamic. The plan is also simple and obvious if you want to spend a few moments reviewing and previewing the Plan for the Evolution of the Planet Earth.

Over the last 300 years with some notable experiments throughout history evolution has done the following:

Evolution is separating the brain from the color of your skin and currently, it’s separating your brain from your genitals and whatever you choose to do with them

We even come up with cute labels - LGBTQ2+, culture wars, critical race theory, wokeness - attempting to make sense of it. It all means the same thing. You are not the color of your skin, you are not your genitals or whatever you do or don’t do with them.

You are your brain. Period.

In my bestselling book "Minds at Work" the basic postulate is simple. You could have an office of people's brains floating around without their bodies and as long as they can still communicate the office would function just fine. Virtual meetings anyone? Unless you were in a profession that needed your hands or feet - and even those professions now need you to be able to think and use your brain - your brain would be enough. We have entered the evolutionary era of The Brain.

There will always be people who try and put the evolutionary truck in reverse and move the planet’s evolution backward. There are also enough people who understand - even if they cannot articulate it - that we have moved into a new era. Take less than a minute to review the various three key eras of this planet – Agricultural, Industrial, and Knowledge - that have occurred over the last 100,000 years of recorded history.

The difference in the time frame for each of these eras is amazing. The Agricultural lasted 10,000 years. The Industrial replaced it and lasted for 300 years. It is the third most recent one - The Knowledge Era - that is now upon us. With it comes an emphasis on brains, not brawn, brains that have no skin color, brains that are not connected to your genitals, brains that exist only in their own bubble-gum colored organ.

Critics abound. All you need to do is read, listen to, or look at any news. They want your skin color to gate your every action. They demand that your genitals drive whatever conversation or activity you choose to do. They use this out-of-date lens to look at books, movies, TV shows, teachers' teaching, anything, and everything, to decide if it's acceptable to whatever point in evolution they are most comfortable.

The nicest thing about this planet is that we all have a very brief time limit to push evolution along, or try and pull it back. Slow it down and reverse its course to take us back to where we used to be.

NEWSFLASH: Their time will be up soon, BUT evolution is a force without any limits of time or space.

As it moves forward, along that clichéd arc of history, the planet and all of us will eventually move forward with it. We will someday be brains regardless of skin color, genitals, or any other limiting physical or tribal issues.

What comes next is anybody's guess.

Brilliant black doctors are brilliant. Brilliant gay artists are still brilliant. Brains all over this planet will start to come together more and more and discover new drugs to heal you, dramas to entertain you, peaceful solutions to imaginary ancient borders, new toys and games, and much more serious things will be created ideated, invented, developed. It is the natural outcome of this evolutionary era.

And as Bugs Bunny might say to Ron president-wannabe DeSantis “Well That’s All Folks”.
