I touched on this subject before in my Natural Selection post, but I’d like to elaborate on it a bit more. Note that it is written from a Western perspective, which is what ‘we’ refers to. If you haven’t read that post, what I basically meant was, if Africa somehow became equalised with the rest of the world, only they would go up without us going down, therefore making this very unsustainable. We are not going to sacrifice our way of living for theirs. So, disregard that for now and bear with me. Just imagine that now, Africa is now on par with us.
Equality Catastrophe
18th March, 2010Natural Selection
27th February, 2010Rather than the usual fare on my blog, I’d like to present a philosophical ideal.
In ancient history, natural selection had made those, who were most fit for survival survive, and therefore pass on their genes. This system had sustained us for centuries, eventually creating the human species we are today. However, somehow, somewhere, we started to civilize. What this meant was that humans gradually started to ‘equalize’, or at least regarded as equal. As medical science advanced, everyone could get the same level of health care, regardless of their capabilities. This is totally contrary to that which had propelled us so much further all those years ago.
AdSweep Online Beta
12th January, 2010I’m hereby releasing a beta version of the new online AdSweep. Seeing as it’s beta I haven’t had that much time to debug, so please send me bug reports through the usual channels. As for the YouTube ‘bug’, I’m going to include the code by default, please disable AdSweep on YouTube if you mind having to reload sometimes. It now has a button in the top-right, which allows you to disable it and download all the rules to cache.
