"Things are in the saddle and ride mankind."
-- R. W. Emerson
False things are in the saddle and ride false events; false events
are in the saddle and ride false humankind. These novel things
and events (unprecedented in our 250,000 year-old species)
form a cycle carrying humanity outside Earth's evolved Living
Nature, outside human nature and well-being within Nature.
Indeed, mechanical things have gotten into the saddle and ride
natural, evolved humankind. Moreover, the events and
activities generated by those things, in turn, generate more
novel things, which, in turn, generate more novel activities
and behavior. Human natural selection of natural, culture--
the natural objects, phenomena and relationships of authentic
human lifeway and culture-- is replaced with quasi, sham,
de-human, artificial selection, alien and invasive to humanity
and other Earth-life.
A new, un-natural cycle of novel things and events ride upon our
natural, human species carrying it outside of its evolved human
nature, being, spirit, reality, culture and lifeway. 'Civilization'
creates, generates and integrates a megacycle of these artificial,
alien cycles, spinning authentic human being, time, place and
reality outward from Earth-life's human evolution that has
culturally (and genetically)blueprinted (designed) the well-being
and sustainability of humanity on Earth.
We are, thereby, very gradually separated and removed from our
evolved, natural, human matrix-medium-culture-environment-
society-habitat-ecosystem-spirit-complex-- our human nurturome.
