Charles Darwin was a highly
aberrant ape, a product of a blind process which didn't have him in mind. All
of his “moral” pronouncements were simply aberrantly selected examples of
selfish gene promotion. Some (such as his abolitionism) may have been maladaptive,
and would eventually have been selected against. Others (such as his statement
that the “lower races” were destined to destruction) sound more in keeping with
the needs of biological fitness.
As a product of a blind and utterly
indifferent cosmos, Charles Roger was nevertheless something of a
pattern-seeker, and hence “discovered” a pattern he called “evolution”, which
he counterpoised to another pattern, called “Christianity”. The corrosive
effects on group selection of the former (and its attendant patterns “atheism”
and “agnosticism”), suggest that the aberrant apes ironically known as “Homo
sapiens sapiens” may be at a genetic dead-end, and that cockroaches (Blattella
germanica) or lice (Phthirapthera) may once again rule the land, if they can ween
themselves from their dependency on this particular creature and its “cultural”
artifacts (many of whom are peculiar, to say the least, from the viewpoint of
selection- and mutation-driven change, such as “Big Brother”, “Mozart”,
“Eurovision Song Contest” and “Mona Lisa”).
Of course, certain isolated
sub-populations of “Man” might still have enough survival skills to be selected
for survival by the blind watchmaker, including the flock known as “ISIS” and
the alpha male known as “Vladimir Putin”. As for the strange artifacts
mentioned above, the blind mechanism behind them might be an aberrant variety
of sexual selection. Like the male peacock, who spouts a huge tail for the lady
birds only to be ultimately eaten by leopards, “art”, “music” and “Youtube” probably
plays this function among statistically-cladistically relevant subsections of
the Homo pseudo-ape.
The exact biological functions of “the theory of
evolution” itself remains less clear (not to mention “the Big Bang” or
“quantitative easing”), but some kind of purely chemical explanation cannot be
ruled out, perhaps an aberrant behavior when eating certain kinds of fruit,
Homo having “invented” something known as “agriculture” (another version among
ants work just fine).
Yours truly, Robot Abrasax, Roswell UFO station 51, on
his way back to Havona and the Chief Controller. Over and out. CLASSIFIED
ADDENDUM: Whoever built us and our robotic race, “Homo sapiens sapiens” were
clearly not involved. Or evolved.
