When we have to pitch in.

I lis­te­ned to this while wri­ting this post, try it while you read :o)

This post is the tenth in a series of posts about a reflec­tion on our abi­li­ty to social­ly evolve. These posts should be read in the order of their publi­ca­tion. For example, star­ting with the 6th would make no sense to the rea­der. Hap­py reading!

So what about those people who haven’t been able to deve­lop a taste for inde­pen­dence. First of all, it comes from a sense of secu­ri­ty. To be convin­ced that life, our parents, socie­ty, will take care of us, no mat­ter what. Isn’t that won­der­ful? To be able to count on all the good Sama­ri­tans in our socie­ty to ful­fil our basic needs? To be hou­sed, fed and clo­thed, albeit modest­ly, at no cost.

The first advan­tage would be to create pity. The good old pity that makes us so uncom­for­table that we feel guil­ty for not hel­ping the object of this pity. But beyond this poten­tial­ly catas­tro­phic situa­tion lies a com­plexi­ty that is beyond com­pre­hen­sion. Only a great social debate could over­come such a question.

In order to avoid this kind of situa­tion which can only wor­sen over time, socie­ty relies on edu­ca­tion in order to deve­lop a taste for inde­pen­dence and a sense of res­pon­si­bi­li­ty. Some socie­ties have opted for free edu­ca­tion, a simple “pay later” prin­ciple, while others have cho­sen to fund pay-as-you-go edu­ca­tion. In any case, one thing is cer­tain, there can be no social evo­lu­tion without edu­ca­tion. Edu­ca­tion is the key to an evo­lu­tion where even if in the future, there were only 1% of the world’s cur­rent popu­la­tion, it alone would allow the eman­ci­pa­tion of humans from the constraints of bio­lo­gi­cal life.
