Message"Thus, billions of organisms die early so that a few
better-adapted individuals can grow."
This raises the possibility that the same process happens in humans, and
that, as a result, many people are dying earlier than they need to."
This sounds unnervingly like justification for one of the agendas of the NWO, global population reduction, especially the "useless eaters".They promote the Neo- Darwinian view of evolution which includes the Disposable Soma theory. They also back research into life extension technologies, but only intended for the wealthy elite few.
I'm still formulating, but I sense that this issue, Sacrifice is key to the nature of Immortality. Sacrifice, its a loaded word, conjuring images of bloody altars and Aztecs etc but it basically means to make sacred. The Altruistic theory put forward by Longo suggests that ageing is an act of sacrifice for the good of the community(gene pool). This article resonated with me because I have pursued this question for some time now through contemplation on the theme of the Sacrificial King put forward by Frazer, Graves and others. Is it about transformation or scapegoating?
Was it orginally about Transformation but becoming debased into scapegoating where others have to take the blame for the shadow side of the community.
How does the Taoist Immortal relate to the sacrificial King? If you have ever read the poem Gawain and the Green Knight you will know what I mean. The Green Knight ( an Athurian embodiment of the Green man)who suffers decapitation but survives,symbolising regeneration comes across to me as very similar to a Taoist immortal, one who has merged with nature and capable of transcending death.
Did the mystery of regeneration (Immortality) become debased into the dead letter ritual of sacrificial scapegoating?
Sorry if my ideas seem off the topic here, but I can't help seeing the connection between modern science and this ancient tradition,instinct.
