Chapter 66
Mismatches
66.1 Who Are We?
The infernal machinations of human mentation loom as a furnace where misgivings are further battered like atoms subjected to the steam of their reactivity. A
human would be rare and hard-pressed to escape the ingredients of this peril:
Intuition, logic, illogic, impulse, paralysis, and horror all ravenously accrete into
a subject that can be tentatively psychoanalyzed, with no outcomes; a science of
Self destined to become the chatter of a most charitable, gullible, and prolific
solipsism. Ipseitous self-regard is the psychological mismatch in a world of biodiverse-rich opposition to the solitary mirror in which humanity has entangled itself
(Fig. 66.1).
Let a propositional heresy be substantiated as preamble before all the egocentric forensics necessarily to follow. Exhume the evidentiary mob. The 90+ species
represented in cannibalized bones at a Zhoukoudian Cave system in suburban
Beijing, with its Acheulean hand axes, chopping and cutting tools, all the hallmarks of forced stressors. We can easily surmise that these killing objects of stone
did not originate with Homo erectus or H. heidelbergensis, but in the likely confines of informal conceptualization millions of years prior. The neural complex
leaves few genetic clues, and even if it did, the correlations between parts of a
genome and parts of a concept is but the prelude to an astonishing realization:
Ideas are not readily undertaken, exploited, or tallied by natural selection. Rather,
with the continuing hindsight, accumulation of victims, and the gaps in natural
history their endlessly unsettling eviscerations (mutations, variations) have incited,
and speak to evolution working in its own merciless ways to first isolate the offending taxon, prior to an otherwise defeated world’s final ultimatums and biological
choice for dealing with, and dispatching so rogue a species.
