Almost perfect

The most succinct description of the man. We're getting close to the ideal (everyone has his own), acquiring more and more skills and abilities. We change ourselves, the world, their heritage. Our children are the same "first people" completely devoid of knowledge. Our task - to train them, to give them a part of themselves to help get closer to present-day realities. Make a little better.

This applies not only to children. Any other product activity can also improve as you like, up to infinity. But who needs such a masterpiece? Often we demand things from only one thing - to perform their functions. We do not want that they were perfect. This is not necessary if we survive. But what if the person ceases to survive and begin to live?

Pay attention to Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Hierarchy of Needs, six of which are peculiar to both people and animals. Only seventh need, the need for creativity, self-actualization - is peculiar to man. And it is activated only when we do not have to survive. Only in tranquility, security and peace, we can create. Yes, if we have the incentive, the result can be both better and worse than without it. But here are beginning to play the role of personality characteristics.

While the man survives, he does not strive to be better. For him, it makes nature. We do not need to learn a foreign language, forcing herself to step up for the sake of power, if we were in another country. Environmental conditions themselves contribute to this. But after learning the spoken language, it is unlikely we will need to develop a higher level. However, in his spare time, with personal motivation, we can learn textbooks by grinding a particular rule.

Now, we still have to survive. Thus, we can not achieve perfection. Ideal cut off from the real world and his request to our address. All we need - is to solve the problem of basic needs, that is already happening in the developed and civilized countries. Cult fast food satisfies hunger, leveling certain moral norms and shift the boundaries of intimate - in favor of a quick discharge of sexual tension, the importance of addressing the needs of the establishment, as a method of dealing with stress and total control, security in our name. Fundamental, animal instincts, recede into the background - behind the rational, sublime, spiritual. To deal with the need - to expend energy on something that takes time, disturbing the peace of the nervous system and provokes impulsive behavior. Spending time on the suppression of instincts - is silly. It is foolish to those who are constantly busy. Who is working every minute, developing a certain type of activity. Who sleeps on the job, it remains on overtime, who is sitting at a desk from 8 to 10 and is not disrupted in the bar on Friday night. For such people, facilitated norms that they will not use. And what about the rest? The cult of entertainment and freedoms. What for? Otherwise, disappointed in, throw it and commit suicide (or will lead daunshifterov style of life). And this is very bad for the country.

Almost perfect people, are the world, filling it with everything that can create, or to what can reach. Gradually, we move ourselves, pushing evolution. Somewhere we stumble and fall somewhere solve the problem as fast as never before. The end result will never be satisfied, because it is constantly changing, at the same time as we change.

Leave a possibility to change a little bit of personal freedom and resources for action - the overall goal of trans-humanism, immortalism, technogaianism and other currents. After all, the ability to change themselves and the world - it is life itself. And it is very sad when it ends in a step from the ideal, which you and I can become.
