External threats

The main impetus to mankind coordinate their resources. Nothing brings as it makes the external enemy. We can come up with a lot of social and cultural institutions. But the eternal good pleasure and not in the least bring us closer to the goal. On the contrary, these "concessions" only hinder development, making it impossible to fully relax.

Is there such a threat now - is not an issue that we have to wonder. The fact remains that a threat exists. Diseases of aging, the impact of the meteorite ... such risks is very much, but in spite of them, humanity managed to survive. So far succeeded.

So what is the essence of our life, if not in the constant struggle? Think about it, because it made us struggle to evolve. Healthy competition - it's the same war waged by other methods. We have not improved the animals, we continue to consume resources, unable to stop in time. Roughly breaking the balance and harmony (which scream on every corner), we are outraged consequences.

What is the essence of our development? Exponential growth, as a consumer, or in this evolution are separate branches, to create something new. Something more advanced. Something that is not yet available to our consciousness, and is unlikely to be as narrow as we look at the world around us.

In the world there are a variety of ideologies and trends. Some are designed to encourage those qualities that are similar in animals and humans. Others - focused on self-restraint and control of the body. But both are no conditions of change the human shell. Religious movements, cults and organizations - a promising new life after death. But no one suggests the absence of death. Also ideologies, which are based on transhumanism and immortalism. They, first challenged the human body, namely all its defects and weaknesses.

When we say "nothing human is alien to me," we do not mean the human and animal characteristics. Cult few weaknesses that is actively supported by our brain, so also is encouraged by society. When basic needs, the nature does not need another "something." Instinct is silent - it's okay. With this logic, one could argue that the marginal lives - is the foundation of life. At that time, like everything else - the excesses that hurt human nature.

External threat - is the desire to be the best animal on the planet, with no prospect for further growth. Each of us is doomed to exist. But not everyone will accept this way of life.
