VICTIMIZED BY MILLIONS
STAGES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MIND
                                                                                                                      DARWIN, FREUD, PIAGET, WILL AND ARIEL DURANT, AND RECENT HISTORY:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Take my word for this if you don't have the training, or understand what you can: "On the Origin of Species" postulates movement to higher levels. Charles Darwin saw the constant, slow, gradual change over enormous lengths of time described in Charles Lyell's "Principles Of Geology", and mistakenly applied the concept to the evolution of life. The absence of the required varieties in the fossil record, he attempted to explain in Chapter 10: not much of anything was preserved and available to us anyway. THE CONCEPT OF ADVANCEMENT IN SPECIATION AS OCCURRING DURING STAGES EXPLAINS WHAT HAS ACTUALLY BEEN FOUND IN THE FOSSIL RECORD. The argument that speciation requires geographical and geological isolation, which occurs randomly, has no effect upon this, because such processes always take place, due to the slow and continuous movement of the Earth's crust as demonstrated by Plate Tectonics, and radical climate change caused by the eruption of mega volcanoes and rare, very large meteorite impacts:                                                                                                                                          THE BEHAVIOR OF THE EARTH IS AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENT OF THE EVOLUTION OF SPECIES IN STAGES, WHICH WOULD OTHERWISE BE IMPOSSIBLE.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    MANKIND HAS ALTERED THE EARTH'S BEHAVIOR BY CAUSING CLIMATE CHANGE! MANY SPECIES ARE PRESENTLY GOING EXTINCT DUE TO THE EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING!                                                                                                                                                                                              See "variation in species", under "contact".                                                                                                                                                                          SIGMUND FREUD postulated that the human mind consists of "id", "ego", and "superego" (animal urges, the self, and the conscience). Functional conscience is absent from "criminal" mind, which consists entirely of dark, depraved animal aggression ("id") and the self ("ego"). There is no conscience present to control the satisfaction of those animal urges! Criminals are at a lower stage of development than non-criminals! Mind consisting of merely two components, is a "species" different from, and more primitive than mind having three components!                                                                                                                                                                  JEAN PIAGET studied mental growth in children, and postulated STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT: ALL STAGES PRIOR TO ANY GIVEN STAGE MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE IT IS POSSIBLE TO BEGIN THAT STAGE. THE THINKING IS QUALITATIVELY DIFFERENT, AND MORE ADVANCED, NOT MERELY MORE OF THE SAME AT A HIGHER LEVEL. COMPONENTS OF MIND ARE ACQUIRED IN STAGES OF LEARNING!                                                                                                                                                                                DO THAT FOR HUMAN HISTORY, AND YOU GET WILL AND ARIEL DURANT: SUCH VOLUMES AS "THE AGE OF NAPOLEON" OR "THE AGE OF THE ENLIGHTENMENT". NOW CONSIDER MONOLITHIC CRIMINAL THOUGHT PATTERNS INVOLVING TAKING BY FORCE, WITH AN ABSENCE OF FREEDOM OF THOUGHT DEPENDENT UPON A DIVERSITY OF IDEAS. GERMANY AND AUSTRIA WERE ALWAYS MILITARY STATES FOLLOWING ONE MAN AND OBEYING HIS COMMANDS: GERMANS OBEYED THE KAISER, AUSTRIANS OBEYED THE AUSTO-HUNGARIAN EMPEROR, AND WHEN FORCED INTO UNWANTED DEMOCRACY, AND AN ECONOMIC DEPRESSION, BOTH WERE WON OVER BY ADOLPH HITLER, THEIR "LEADER". AND THE "MASTER RACE" MADE NO MISTAKE ABOUT THE REST OF THE WORLD BEING ITS SLAVES! DO SIMILAR EVOLUTIONARY THINKING ABOUT NORTH KOREA ("WHERE THE PARTY LEADS, WE WILL FOLLOW!"), OR BIN LADEN, OR AHMADINEJAD: MONOLITHIC THINKING AND SEVERE UNREST OR DISSATISFACTION WITH THE CONDITIONS OF LIFE IN CERTAIN AREAS, WHETHER THEY BE POLITICAL, RELIGIOUS, ECONOMIC, OR MILITARY ENTITIES.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             A DIVERSITY OF IDEAS IS ESSENTIAL FOR MENTAL GROWTH IN ANY ENVIRONMENT, ESPECIALLY TO BEGIN, AND PERHAPS TO COMPLETE THE STAGE OF MIND WHICH DOESN'T VICTIMIZE OTHERS, NOT MERELY BECAUSE OF PUNISHMENT, OR BECAUSE IT'S WRONG TO DO SO, BUT ULTIMATELY BECAUSE THAT PERSON OR GROUP OF PEOPLE DO NOT BEHAVE IN THAT MANNER DUE TO HOW THEY THINK AND WHAT THEY HAVE BECOME MENTALLY. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY WON'T FIGHT BACK WHEN ATTACKED, OR WON'T KNOW HOW MUCH FORCE IS JUSTIFIED TO STOP THAT TYPE OF DAMAGE. WE CAME FROM THE GREAT APES PHYSICALLY, AND PASSED THROUGH SUCH DEVELOPMENTS AS NEANDERTHAL MAN AND AUSTRALOPITHECUS AND MANY OTHERS, UNTIL WE COVERED THE PLANET AS HOMO SAPIENS SAPIENS, OR MODERN MAN. BUT OUR EVOLUTION OF MIND IS STILL PRIMITIVE: CIVILIZATION IS A RECENT DEVELOPMENT, AND MIND EVOLVES BY INTERACTION WITH AN ENVIRONMENT. WHAT CONCERNS ME IS "APE", OR "CRIMINAL" MIND: "WE DON'T CARE! WE'LL JUST TAKE WHAT WE WANT!", AS OPPOSED TO "HUMAN", OR "CIVILIZED" MIND: "YOU CAN'T DO THAT, YOU JERKS! THAT'S A HUMAN BEING, NOT AN ANIMAL!".                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           ADOLPH HITLER'S LIBRARY AT BERSCHTESGARTEN DIDN'T CONTAIN A SINGLE BOOK WITH VIEWS CONTRARY TO HIS OWN IDEAS OF WORLD CONQUEST. ABRAHAM LINCOLN SAID, "AS I WOULD NOT BE A SLAVE, I WOULD NOT BE A MASTER!", AND MOTHER THERESA SAID, "ONLY THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND THE TRUE NATURE OF SUFFERING, CAN SHOW COMPASSION TO OTHERS." YOU WILL FIND THE SAME BASIC IDEA IN JUDAISM: "THOU SHALT NOT KILL!"; IN ISLAM: "ANY MUSLIM WHO MURDERS ANOTHER MUSLIM, SHALL NOT ENTER PARADISE!": THE WORD OF ALLAH HIMSELF, THE HOLY KORAN; AND IN RELIGIOUS, LEGAL, AND OTHER SUCH SYSTEMS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. ONE THING IS UNIVERSALLY FORBIDDEN IN THE VARIOUS SOCIETIES ON EARTH: DESTRUCTIVENESS WITHIN ANY SOCIETY TO INNOCENT PEOPLE, OR THEIR PROPERTY. "LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS" FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL: HE HAS NO RIGHT TO VICTIMIZE OTHERS, AND OTHERS HAVE NO RIGHT TO VICTIMIZE HIM.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   NOTE THAT THE EVENTS OF HISTORY ARE A RANDOM PROGRESSION THROUGH TIME: IF THE ARCHDUKE FERDINAND HAD NOT BEEN ASSASSINATED BY PURE CHANCE, WHEN HIS CAR STOPPED FOR A PASSING TRAIN AT A RAILROAD CROSSING IN SERBIA, IN FRONT OF A YOUNG ANARCHIST WITH A GUN, WORLD WAR I WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED AS IT DID. IF JAY GOULD HAD NOT ATTEMPTED TO CORNER THE MARKET FOR GOLD, THE GREAT DEPRESSION WOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED AS IT DID. AND WITHOUT WORLD WAR I AND THE GREAT DEPRESSION, ADOLPH HITLER WOULD HAVE REMAINED ON HIS SOAP BOXES IN PARKS IN VIENNA, AND THE THIRD REICH AND WORLD WAR II WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED AS THEY DID.                                                                        HISTORICAL EVENTS WOULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT. MILLIONS OF OTHER FACTORS CONTRIBUTED THEIR FAIR SHARE TO WHAT ACTUALLY DID HAPPEN. ALL SUCH FACTORS AND EVENTS FORM A RANDOM PROGRESSION THROUGH TIME WHICH WE CALL "HISTORY".                                  BECAUSE THE PROGRESSION IS RANDOM, WE CANNOT FORESEE FUTURE EVENTS, USING THE PAST AND PRESENT TO DO SO. AS JOHN F. KENNEDY OBSERVED, "THE ONLY THING CERTAIN IS CHANGE!". HENRY FORD MAINTAINED, "HISTORY IS BUNK!".                                                                    THE RANDOM PROGRESSION OF HISTORY ADVANCES THROUGH STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT WHICH I TERM "EVOLUTION OF MIND". MAN IS CURRENTLY IN THE "CIVILIZED" STAGE, BECAUSE HE LIVES, FOR THE MOST PART, IN CIVILIZATION.                                                                         CIVILIZATION NURTURES "NON-CRIMINAL" MIND. THE "CIVILIZED" STAGE PROGRESSES TO LARGER PERCENTAGES OF "NON-CRIMINAL" MIND, AND LESSER PERCENTAGES OF "CRIMINAL" MIND, UNTIL "CRIMINAL" MIND GOES EXTINCT, MILLIONS OF YEARS FROM NOW.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       ALSO NOTE THAT THIS PROCESS DOES NOT DEPEND UPON THE EXISTENCE OF PARTICULAR INDIVIDUALS, OR UPON THE DETAILS OF SPECIFIC HUMAN LIVES, BUT UPON HUMANITY ITSELF, PROCEEDING THROUGH TIME IN THE PROGRESSION OF LEARNING TERMED "EVOLUTION OF MIND".        THE RANDOM NATURE OF THE PROCESS GUARANTEES ITS SUCCESS: IF PARTICULAR INDIVIDUALS HADN'T BEEN BORN, OR IF THE DETAILS OF THEIR LIVES HAD BEEN DIFFERENT, THE DETAILS OF THE HISTORY OF THE PROGRESSION WOULD BE DIFFERENT, BUT THE PROCESS ITSELF IN HUMANS WOULD CONTINUE UNCHANGED, FOR AS LONG AS THE SPECIES SURVIVES.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     NOTE THE RANDOM NATURE OF THE DNA OF INDIVIDUALS, AND OF ENVIRONMENTS ENABLING THE DEVELOPMENT OF INDIVIDUALS, DESCRIBED IN "apes and humans", UNDER "contact": SPECIFIC INDIVIDUALS THEMSELVES ARE BORN AND DEVELOP BY PURE CHANCE. "EVOLUTION OF MIND" IS BASED UPON A PROGRESSION OF RANDOM EVENTS; DETAILS OF THAT PROGRESSION WHICH HAVE ALREADY TAKEN PLACE, CONSTITUTE HISTORY.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         See "DARWIN - FREUD - PIAGET", under "about".                                                                                                                                                             See "SEVEN PROBLEM CHILDREN", and "CRIMINAL MIND AND ANARCHY - ADVOCATING THE STATE OF NATURE", under "home".                                                                                                                                                     See "TWO DEFINITIONS OF MENTAL ILLNESS", under "home"; and "apes and humans", "recapitulation", "morality over time", "future evolution of mind", "variation in species", "God and Man Evolving", "Eternal Mind using Random Chance", and "Advancement as Intrinsic to Evolution", under "contact".
