Chapter  2

By Mankind or Man I mean, all the human beings as a group (as opposed to the humanoid beings) or in the singular, man or he or him, etc., I mean the complete human system, male, female and offspring, one without the other is incomplete and cannot exist.

Man and woman stand equal beside each other, each complementing the other's strengths. Together with their offspring they are a complete viable system. Our Creator did not create the female as an after thought, he created her as an integral part of a system that could survive and prosper in an extremely challenging environment. Each one plays a vital role in the success of the human race.

The man and the woman are designed differently, both physically and mentally. (Just as our Creator also did with the other animals.) Each one has their own physical characteristics and mental traits to carry out their specific tasks. The man is stronger, more aggressive and territorial. His job is to hunt for food and provide shelter for his family, to protect and guide his family and to provide his genes for his family’s offspring.

In modern society the man’s tasks are becoming less exclusive, with the woman now assuming many of his tasks. This is not what nature intended but since we are masters of our own destiny perhaps the Human System can get away with it. Eventually the only exclusive male task may be that of a sperm donor.

The woman's body, hormones and temperament are specifically designed to make, nurture and rear new people. Her body harbors her eggs. Each month she “lays” an egg (which is physically demanding in itself). When one of her eggs is fertilized, she holds the embryo safely in her womb and nurtures it until it has developed enough to be born.

When the baby is born her body produces the milk to feed it while it is young and helpless. She provides nurturing and guidance until the new person is mature and ready to go out on its own. The offspring are also a vital part of the system, they are the new people who will carry mankind into the future. Each one of these three types of people are equal essential parts of the Human System.

¨ Human babies need much more care and time to mature then any other animal. To accomplish this, nature realizes she needs lots of help. First, to fertilize her eggs and then long term, to help her raise the children to maturity. In the past this is where the man came into the picture. He provided his genes to complete her egg and get things started. Then he helped to raise the children.

His job was a matter of life and death in the past when the mother and children needed a man for protection and to hunt for food. In our present society this is no longer the case. Women are now able to provide the material essentials for their children without the aid of a man although it is still hard to raise children without the positive guidance of a father figure.

Women can now raise all the children they desire without the help of a man, since the government will provide the necessary aid. If she needs economic help the state will subsidize her children. She is encouraged to have children since the more children she has, the more assistance the state will provide. This policy has resulted in an expanding abundance of fatherless unguided children living in our country.

These children lack the positive influence that a mother/father team contributes to the family. Instead, in many cases, they are influenced and dominated by street gangs. These unguided and misguided young people contribute greatly to the chaos, violence and terror that now grips large sections of our cities. Large areas of our cities are not safe to live in or travel through.

An alarming percentage of people in these areas are murdered each year. Merchants who would serve these communities and create employment for the people are afraid to establish their businesses in these areas. Perhaps the government should reconsider their policies that have had such a negative effect on its population.

If our government is going to replace fathers economically, they should also provide the moral guidance that the fathers provided these children from the time of birth and is now lost. This is something they totally ignore. We spend billions of dollars subsidizing the material needs of these fatherless families but nothing for their moral guidance.

¨ Since the transformation, children have been extremely imaginative from infancy onward. Although a baby has a tremendous potential it is a rather empty thing at first. They soak up everything they experience (good or bad) and store it in their subconscious memory for use throughout their life. If they experience anger, violence, dishonesty and prejudice etc., it becomes part of their psyche for the rest of their lives. If they experience gentleness, understanding, love and if sound moral values are instilled in them, this becomes a part of them.

Just as they learn the habits and language of the people around them (family, friends, neighbors, television, church, school, etc.) they also learn their disposition and values however subtle they may be. This is the type of person they become for better or for worse. We can either continue to build bigger prisons or we can begin to build better people, the choice is up to us.

Positive storytelling and guidance is an extremely important influence in rearing children from the time of infancy onward, throughout their whole life. When a young couple marries, in addition to their love for one another and their desire to build themselves a nice little family, the young man sees his wife as a steady sexual partner, a companion to whom he can entrust his sexual desires and depend upon exclusively for life.

He will not have to constantly find new sex partners as most other mammals do. Both the husband and the wife each sign over their sexual independence to the other and become totally dependant upon each other for all their sexual needs for the rest of their life. A really big commitment.!! (Its a little like signing up to eat at one particular restaurant for the rest of your life. You had better really like the food they serve.)

Having a steady sex partner is a strong inducement for the man to stick around and create a family environment for the children. (This inducement has grown weaker with modern morality and government intervention.) This is basically what nature had in mind when he designed women this way. She is able to do this because she is always physically sexually receptive unlike most of the other animals. Sometimes its pretty demanding activity when one partner’s sexual needs are much greater then the other partner’s.

The wife's sexual priorities are different then her husband's. She regards her young man primarily as her own private sperm donor, ready to fertilize some of her eggs when she is ready, a partner to help raise and support her children and finally as her mate to whom she will now depend upon solely for sexual enjoyment. The brides now each have their own private sperm donor, the companionship of her husband to help raise her children and her exclusive lover, just as nature intended.

Marriage is a serious lifetime commitment for both the man and the woman since they both become completely dependent on each other to hold up their part of the bargain. Both must work at making marriage work. If one or the other does not, the marriage could be in trouble.

It is easy to see in the nature of things, throughout its history, women had the much tougher role in propagating our species then the man did. Her time and imagination were pretty well taken up just having babies and rearing the children. In the old days the man's job was demanding too, hunting for food and protecting his family.

After the last ice age however, some creative innovators invented farming and began to domesticate certain animals. This was a tremendous change in the lifestyle of people. It released the husband from always hunting for food for the family and gave him more time to be creative or to get into mischief. He did this with a vengeance.

While the wife was busy having babies and raising the children, (she also was given the new chore of grinding the grains into flour and helping take care of the domesticated animals). On the negative side, the husband was now free to go off and join a band of warriors to fight, conquer and plunder other tribes (while other people grew food for his family).

Depending on where and what age that he lived in, there were always battles to be fought. He could join the Celtic warriors and conquer Rome (they did this around 360 BC). Go on escapades with Alexander the Great, Hannibal, or the Romans (they eventually found out the Celt's weakness and conquered Gaul and Briton). The Mongols, (the toughest fighting force since the Romans). They conquered nearly every city they ever attacked. Their territories ranged from the Pacific Ocean in Asia to the Danube River in Europe and a large part of Islam.

They ruthlessly plundered and slaughtered people by the millions. The Huns, the Vikings, the Turks, Napoleon, the Mayans and the Aztecs (when they weren't warring they were sacrificing people by the thousands to satisfy their “gods”). These were some of the more famous warriors. No matter what age or where they lived, men were always looking to fight and plunder. The important thing was to be on the winning side so you didn't get your head chopped off or become a slave at the end of the battle.

Not all the warriors were ruthless adventurers however. They also fought in the fields with George Washington in our Revolutionary war and made the founding of our country possible. The Indian braves of North America fought many battles defending their tribes against the encroaching Europeans but were finally overwhelmed, ending their ancient way of life.

In our Civil war, the Union troopers fought their brothers to stop the spread of slavery. At Stalingrad, the Russian tribes stopped the invading German tribes in one of the greatest battles of all time. At the Battle of Midway our naval pilots stopped the advance of the Japanese Navy. There are countless other cases, throughout the history of mankind, where warriors fought for noble causes.

On the more peaceful side, man now had more time to invent all types of innovations, tools, etc., create all types of new works of art, philosophize about everything, use his creative imagination to its fullest extent. He no longer had to get up every morning and hunt for food for the family. You can imagine how much we would get done if we had to go out and hunt for food before we went to work.

What a great invention this farming was, while other people grew food for his family, man could now go out to explore the world, discover new lands. (A great majority of the men did however, stay home to help raise the children and defend their families, only the more adventurous strayed.)

While I just stated farming was a great invention that allowed men more freedom to use their creative abilities, which enabled us to raise to our present standard of living, on the negative side, it also started a human population explosion that will eventually overcrowd the planet with people, squeezing out and destroying the habitats of most of the other animals. (From 1825 to 1988 the human population expanded 500%, from one billion to five billion people).

In Africa and Brazil the farmers are currently destroying the wild habitats and replacing them with cultivated farms just as they have done for thousands of years all over the world. The Mongols had a particular dislike for farmers and killed them by the millions. They felt the farmers were destroying the grasslands that their animals depended upon.

Man could now establish towns, begin trading with other people from far away lands (he invented money around this time). Eventually, he would build a rocket that would fly him to the moon. He could do everything that men do when they don't have to hunt for food to survive. Soon great cities, pyramids and walls were being built all over the world, (mainly by the slaves captured from the fighting and plundering). Civilization had begun.

All the while this was going on, the women were busy having babies (the adventurers came home once in a while), raising the children and grinding the grain. They didn't have much time to use their creative imagination nor were they allowed to. With the invention of birth control methods and women's rights, their time has finally come - in this country anyway. (In many parts of the world women are still completely dominated by men.)

Women are part of the Human System. They however, are not clones of men, they think a little differently then men and their priorities are a little different so their creativity will be different. Women's creative imagination and power are now being felt in our society. They have already altered the political course of our country since they gained the right to vote. Who knows where it will lead to in the future. I know it will be very positive in any event. Maybe it will keep their minds off of baby making.

If the farmers keep growing more food and the women keep having babies faster then a gatling gun can spew bullets, and doctors keep vaccinating everybody in sight, our planet will have over ten billion people squeezed on to its surface in a hundred years. (A very conservative figure considering our population growth at the present time.)

The Human System may be too successful!! In any event, it will be a tremendous challenge for the Mind of Mankind, to set a course that will enable our species to survive far into the future.
