When we have to fight our fears.

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

This post is the four­teenth 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!

Our fears. Our doubts. Our demons. How do we face them? Should we face them? What if we went back to the his­to­ry of our small com­mu­ni­ty? In one of the pre­vious posts, we des­cri­bed the context where a com­mu­ni­ty would have enough indi­vi­duals to pro­vide for let’s say double the needs of the indi­vi­duals in the community.

This would mean that, for a varie­ty of rea­sons that we will look at, some indi­vi­duals would spend the majo­ri­ty of their time mee­ting their needs, as well as those of the com­mu­ni­ty, while others would struggle to find occu­pa­tions that contri­bute to the sur­vi­val of the group.

Do you see where this is going? Not yet? Let’s keep going. In a context where eve­ry­thing is a ques­tion of sur­vi­val, we can believe that the inter­ests of indi­vi­duals will be most impor­tant­ly to ensure their own. A power play is taking place. A game of fair­ness, a game of who contri­butes more than others.

If we took the levels of our basic needs, we would qui­ck­ly end up with what we could consi­der a food chain, where the stron­gest domi­nate the wea­kest, where the best posi­tio­ned domi­nate those who are less so.

To be continued…
