Survival of the fittest brain

I was talking to my friend Jon about my take on survival of the fittest. Weirdly I think about this stuff a lot because of reality TV. When I see the commercials for survivor I think, I am diabetic, I would never survive without the modern comforts that I have. If I got stuck in the woods with no carbohydrates would I know what to eat to stay alive?

Modern nutrition, vaccines and medical technology have usurped some of the importance in having physical strength or stamina. Someone like Steven Hawkins who is medically fragile and not able to speak without technology can communicate mind boggling quantum gravity.

Thinking about modern ways of conceiving via in vitro fertilization also adds another layer to who is surviving now. I wonder what it will all mean in another 100 years. Will the entire idea concept of who is fittest be completely different?

If we did not have all of these tools to help us survive what would our society look like now?

Autism and Scientology

I did write a blog about my thoughts on Jett Travolta's untimely death and whether or not I think he is Autistic.I got almost a dozen emails asking me where my post was.My desire to discuss autism is tempered by my gut. I am not going to publish it. An innocent child is gone.I do not know anything about this child or his medical history.I know he was sheltered from the media and looked well cared for.

I do not have to make money from my blog and do not wish to feed into the machine of corpse pickers in our media who ghoulishly delight in the sorrow of the famous.The adults who chose to be in that industry are one thing but the children they have should be left alone.

The rest of it is left to god or Buddha or whoever you pray to at night.I pray that his parents can go on through what must be the most terrible pain a human can experience, losing their child.

Blessings,
