Out on a limb

In today’s delayed Slogpost, The Slog has a small gloat to celebrate correctly identifying Elon Musk as a free speech destroyer after all, and asks whether those in charge of the World today are really Homo sapiens…or an unremarked evolution therefrom

The future’s in The Slog

This is what I posted about Elon Musk and his pending acquisition of Twitter inNovember last year:

‘ Musk likes to court an air of mystery and indulge in silly titles and pranks. He’s happiest when sailing close to the wind, and engaging in jolly japes. What a card – oh how we laughed: and oh how he loves daring the media to ponder whether the Joker might not be joking at all….our Elon is a bit of a tease: he just can’t resist positioning his activities as a bit of a larger than life giggle. His technique is to disguise nefarious things cleverly in full view….Elon Musk in April 2021 named his employer as the US Secret Service when declaring his political contributions….as “a joke”….But then the Surveillance State had another job for the Boy Wonder…the long-overdue destruction of already heavily censored Twitter. I think he works for the Unelected State more on a fairly long leash than any kind of submissive blackmail. But there is no doubt in my mind that he is a much-favoured son of those I regard as The Enemy. His anarchic management of Twitter this past week has been exceeded only by those tweeters who – barely a fortnight ago – proclaimed their hatred for the censorious goblins they now seem hell-bent on depicting as heroes. Herein lies the twisted genius of handing this mess to Elon Musk. His ‘job’ is, very obviously, to take the original anti-MSM leakology of Twitter and destroy it utterly.‘

The adoption of red bold italic at the end of the above extract was added yesterday – almost a year on – to emphasise the CIA funded nature of the destruction. You don’t have to take my word for it. The maths (or math, depending on your relative Big Pond culture) were recorded from the horse’s mouth in Fortune Magazine under this byline four days ago:

Bear in mind that, in order to help finance the purchase of Twitter, Musk fell back on the funding vehicle In-Q-Tel, which is completely owned and funded by the CIA. Indeed, as ‘his own tax returns demonstrate, Elon Musk is a fully paid-up member of the US Deep State.’

I predicted Musk would ‘take the original anti-MSM leakology of Twitter and destroy it utterly.’

Now read what Establishment publication Fortune has to say: the social medium X has lost so much value, ”the vehicle [Musk] paid $44 billion for is now valued at $4 billion”.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is a view with which cheeky Elon concurs.

Destruction. Job done, Mission accomplished, nothing to see here except yet another very silly conspiracy theory.

I freely admit to initially asking myself this question on the basis of sample-of-one observation. On the other hand, the observer is not the sample: and my research among people who think themselves Human does add up to a largish number now. In the first place, from 1971 to 1978 my entire corporate life was taken up with interviewing consumers; and secondly, retiring early gave me the gift of investigating issues for reasons well beyond commercial considerations.

This excerpt is from a well-respected dentistry site (my emphases):

‘ Wisdom teeth are known as vestigial structures. These are parts of our body, such as the tailbone, that once had a use but no longer do in our modern lives. Wisdom teeth served a purpose long, long ago when we foraged for foods like twigs and tough, raw meats. Since we no longer need that extra grinding power our bodies have evolved away from them.‘

But there’s more. According to a new study in the Journal of Anatomy, the human race is evolving at a rate faster than it has done at any interval in the last 250 years. So for example, the study also shows that babies are being born with extra bones in their feet and legs – as well as an extra artery in their arm. People keep the artery for the duration of their life. According to the study, only around 10% of people born in the mid 1880s had it.

Now this is sensational stuff: 150 years is but a tiny blink in the evolutionary eye. The extra artery is a reaction to more hand skills being required to survive in an industrialised mass-production culture; what happens when AI bots take over those tasks….as they are clearly close to doing?

Evolution is a fascinating science, because we have a lifespan if we’re lucky even today of only 90 years…so most of us are guessing at how our earlier species evolution happened, and how long the process took.

These guesses prove yet again that science is never settled: this, that and the other assertion in the 1950s that Variant A could not mate with and produce children from the sperm of Variant B have pretty well all been proved wrong.

We know some things about what sort of catalysts speed up the process – ironically, one of the more common ones is climate change – but put evolution in a mass media context where there is no longer any trust….and, er, what happens then? What damage will more reptiles like John Connally, LBJ, Jeffrey Epstein, Tony Fauci, Peter Mandelson, Alastair Campbell and three-ys Zelensky do to our evolutionary process?

However, the single biggest requirement for speedier evolution (nudging climate change into second place) is tribal isolation – something that, in the age of air travel and surveillance, is increasingly unlikely to occur.

There are huge ramifications from all this, but my focus today is solely on what one might ask of the normally somewhat sketchy evolutionary expert, viz, ”Would we notice if our species underwent a macro evolution that was invisible to the naked eye?” So what I’m wondering – and this one’s somewhat ‘out there’ – is ”Have we noticed massive behavioural differences, but not seen them as full-on evolution?

Are the people we’re up against evolving, whereas we the 1in8 aren’t?

Noises off or SFX (depending on your entertainment medium) as the naysayers mutter, ”Oh my God, Johnny Slog has now really gone round the bend”

But don’t rush to judgement on this one. I do realise I am atypical to the point of eccentricity and beyond; however, while amino acids noting differences in diet were until quite recently thought to be the method by which the urgency of need for evolution was judged, this is no longer tenable as an over-arching theory.

We have large blood-fed brains and upright stature because we needed to spot predators quickly and then outrun them.

We developed new arteries to the fingers to help us be deft in assembling mass-market production-line durables.

Neither of these has a fiddle-stick to do with diet, climate or isolation.

There is a God-particle involved here, and our soi-disant ”science followers” can’t deal with it.

So let’s take this line of thought further.

I still believe there is plenty of evidence to suggest that not only was Homo erectus a somewhat gentle Human variant, its extinction was partly down to the more ruthless Homo sapiens version of our tangled family tree: there are too many sudden reductions in the erectus population to ignore the probability of genocide by sapiens….and far too many limp explanations of their extinction such as ‘laziness’ – about as unscientific a term as one might imagine.

But like it or not, Homo sapiens ”triumphed”

These folks were erectus

These crouching cliches give themselves the name sapiens

The first row of mugshots suggest to me, in turn, stand up comic, woman who wants more in her life, Piscean thinker and harmless cruisin’ Bro.

The second row give me little beyond words like ideological bigot, psycho & socio, smug monopolist and ruthless quasi colonialist.

Grant me if you will a line or two in which to very happily recognise the flaws in my analysis. For sure, if erectus had actively sworn to stay well away from sleazeball sapiens and thrived on such separation, we would not have any of the following:

*Welfare *Free medical care *nuclear weapons *automobiles *airports *Costa del Sol, *sweat shops *Cinema, *overpopulation, *Taxes, *LGBTQ, *Theatre critics, *CNN *The BBC, *Political Correctness, *Neflix or *Paedophiles….the last of whom would surely have been clubbed to death by Mr & Mrs Ougoowa after observing his inappropriate behaviour towards their seven year old daughter Loliugwa.

I’m not saying that all these things are bad; I’m merely pointing out that a species not so dumb as to have pc- blinded anthropologists inflicting cultural gifts upon a species whose track record screamed short-termism, material obsession, greed, exploitation and self-interested opportunism might have done one helluva lot better.

In brief, the Rogues’ gallery above suggests the stark difference between self-starters with a non-violent outlook and limited aspirations versus ruthless power-freaks happily homicidal on the subject of religious catechism one minute, but an athaeistic DemiGod complex the next.

So this is the hypothesis: are we – the 1in8 erectus of our time – up against Homo lupus – the wolf in sheep’s clothing killers whose evolution has gone unremarked?

Only Time will tell. But I am bound to remark that many of the views held by Bidenite, Macronite and Sunakite New Worlders strike me a well below the standards accepted by my own older demographic as ”Human”.

Over the last few years spent selling up in France and putting down routes in Africa, I’ve seen – to varying degrees – enough cheating, depravity, naked disloyalty, unpunished crime, lack of accountability, fraud, serial lying, investment scams, paedophilia, opportunism, bent property deals and media falsehoods to last several lifetimes.

I thought the dog-eat-dog bare knuckle infighting of the advertising business was pretty bad. But the last four years have seemed qualitatively worse. I don’t know if my hypothesis is right or not. I just know it feels that way.
