On the nature of human conflict

Billions of years ago, as lighting forced energy into the primeval atmosphere and oceans of the Earth, this infusion of energy forged and fused new bonds between the existing chemical compounds, and much more complex chemicals were built fairly quickly.  We tend to call these "organic compounds", but, really, all highly complex molecules tend to be called biochemicals, simply because only such complex chemical compounds can form the bases for what we call living organisms, which are, by their very nature, highly complex.  There is no such thing as a living being that is as simple as the average rock, or grain as sand. Now, of course, all chemical compounds have different properties, different tendencies to attract other chemicals of different types, different levels of stability.  And, it is perfectly natural, and inevitable, that certain chemical compounds might have more of a tendency to attract and accumulate related and highly similar chemical compounds than others, mimicking and expanding their original structure rather spontaneously.  And, of course, that is really all we need for life.  Self-replication.   I believe we are seeing, almost in its primeval form, this process in the current behavior of Donald Trump.  Donald Trump is a vain, self-absorbed old man, who has gotten his way his entire life.  Now, he is totally senile, and doesn't know what he is doing, but, his primeval instincts remain, from instinctive memories billions of years old.  Donald Trump is trying to replicate himself in influencing the world, and in totally destroying the White House, and Washington D.C.  Like primeval life forms, Donald Trump is attracting the people and materials he needs to try to achieve this goal of making the world in general, and Washington D.C. in particular, resemble his own bizarre and disgusting self as much as possible.  And, it is truly awful to behold. I think we can see in the origins of life, also, the origins of all human conflict, and all warfare, throughout history.  Different groups of people, attempting to impose their own visions, their own selves, their own natures on other groups of people, who are also playing the same game of attempted self-replication.  And, because this is all living beings have ever really done, there is nothing whatsoever more important than this eternal dance of self-replication, at all costs, however destructive it may indeed be, to everything, and anything. #philosophy #metaphysics #biology #biochemistry #originoflife #exobiology #history #philosophyofhistory #politicalscience #chemistry #donaldtrump #trump #funny #psychology #psychoanalysis
