Shocking: Who is mankind?

Trying to define mankind by his distinctive functions such as ability to talk, write, reason, creating objects, walking on two, or instituting political systems is not satisfactory.

First , we can always discover other species that can do one or more of these functions; and

Second, barely 10% of our current population of mankind satisfy these functional capabilities or potentials:  Most of us are either physically or mentally handicapped, imbeciles, degenerates, immature, and unable to read, write, speak, do the rudiment of math, communicate with next door communities, or think rationally.

All these civil wars and preemptive wars, crimes against humanity, and despoiling the environment for one reason or another disprove basing mankind on sane mental or physical abilities for survival.

Is mankind defined as a parental lineage of procreation by man and woman as other species?  Why not?

Does the fetus belong to mankind?  Can we claim a kid less than ten years old is part of mankind?

How about a woman giving birth by artificial insemination from a total stranger she never met?

How about an ovary fecundated by a sperm and the fetus engendered out of a woman’s womb?  It is feasible.

Does this new-born creature has the same human rights as one born from a natural process?

How about mankind specie bred “clandestinely” in “farms” in order to extract valuable detachable spare parts and organs?  It is feasible and maybe available and currently under production.  If this business has received the legal stamp of a recognized government by the UN, would the “farmed” man stop being considered as a legal entity with mankind rights and dignity?

A kid is genetically born brute, egoist, violent, cruel, and quick-tempered.

If a kid doesn’t do major harms very frequently it is simply because he feels weaker, less armed, less smart, and downright far shorter:  He is simply intimidated and has a sense for survival.

A kid is a carnivorous creature, a savage as good as any ferocious beast.  This savage beast, if not nurtured and trained by the humanist adults and left to grow in imbecility and in force then, this kid will eventually wring his father’s neck and fuck his mother.

Kids are trained for the basic rudiment of civility; he is a rough member of the community of mankind and needs constant nurturing and constant vigilance that what he was taught is seeping into his awareness.

Compassion is not a genetically inherited trait in mankind:  It is nurtured.  Having a sense of fairness in our dealings and relationship is not inherited but nurtured:  Left to our own volition and impulses, mankind is the worst egoist and greedy specie.  Multinational financial corporations are the striking proof in capitalist systems.

Constant vigilance of parents and communities over kids behaviors is not primarily guided to preserving a kid from harming himself, but to not do harms to other kids and adults if feasible:  A kid learn what can hurt him and avoid it but he needs adults to teach him that harming others is BAD.

A community of chimpanzees already does an excellent job in vigilance and for good reason.  A kid naturally grows with unbridled and unscrupulous egoism:  Everything must be the object and subject to his instantaneous pleasures and desires.   A kid is a natural sham to civilized mankind.

Unless the kid is not trained and nurtured by the community to abide by a set of ethical standards and moral values, he is surely following his natural trend and ending up a wicked and nasty adult doing harms out of self-sufficiency in his ignorant good conscience and bad faith;  he will eventually experiment with the notion of doing harm for harm sake.

A kid may kill another kid and doesn’t feel remorse of conscience, just a surprised another experience, until adults teach him that his deed was outrageous and not the behavior of mankind.

Why should we feel sorrier when a kid is killed than an adult mankind?

A killed adult is part of culture and civilization of mankind that has been assassinated.  A killed kid is another naturally born savage who was a potential in mankind civilization and who just looked lovely in his weaknesses and unformed civility.

Who is mankind?  

Is it the long lineage in civilized life of teaching, educating, nurturing for many years as a new-born has grown to be a cruel kid and then transformed into a humanist adult?  An adult bound to resume his ethical and moral development so that he may leave his culture to the next generations?

The first line of defense or preventive actions is in the closest community.  Once this community give up on generating a civilized generation then, civil war is imminent.

The second line of defense is the schooling systems where kids spend their formative years to be included in mankind community.  If the schooling system fails to train a reflecting kid and instead cram him with illusions that satisfy his desires then, imminent civil war is lurking.

The third and weakest defense line is State providing internal security from violence, famine, miseries, affordable health care, legitimate power based on fair representation…  When the State fails in its responsibilities then, civil war is a viable potential.

Who is mankind?

Isn’t it this lineage in culture to bringing a naturally born beast into an adult humanist man?

Primitive tribes must have done a better job than modern institutions in preserving mankind. 

Our current State and international institutions designed to maintain and develop our cultural and civilized heritage lack the will, the means, the teeth, and credibility to extending proofs that mankind is potentially a different specie.
