Grovelling for Survival
Andre Willers
25 Apr 2013
Synopsis :
Evolution is 1/3 competition and 2/3 cooperation . This is
reflected in human word frequencies . humans grovel through alliances , or
plain abasement .
Discussion :
1. The 1/3 ratio’s have been established in in http://andreswhy.blogspot.com/2008/01/infinite-probes-in-optimization.html
. They are universal , but interpretation can be tricky .
2.See Appendix A . The synonym-antonym ratio’s . This can do
with considerable expansion , but the pattern seems clear . Cooperation is
favoured by 2/3 .
3. Why grovelling ?
Because most social systems are hierarchical in a fractal
fashion .
The Sierpinsky systems optimize on obedience . Ie grovelling
. Every human is both a tyrant and a groveller .
4. A teensy conflict . There is a bottom floor on the
optimum number of grovelers , namely 1 263 .
5. This churns the system .
As the system grows more efficient , there is less room for
new entrants . This leads to revolution .
Typical is Luther : “Here I stand; I can do no
otherwise. God help me. Amen!”
Speech at the Diet of Worms (1521), reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary
of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 186; and in Bartlett's
Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).
6. How to grovel :
Amazingly , I could find only one website on this important
social skill . http://evilhow.com/tiki-index.php?page=How+to+grovel
Are we supposed to grow up knowing how to cooperate , grovel
, compete ? They laughingly call it socialization . No wonder there is such a plethora
of human and physical ruins due to civil wars . See http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=16105240#editor/target=post;postID=2256036101825330840;onPublishedMenu=template;onClosedMenu=template;postNum=18;src=postname
I could not find any Dummy or Idiots guide on how to grovel
. Or anything on Google . Yet it is a fundamental skill to survive in any
hierarchical social system .
7. How to be a bully
.
The companion volume .
Obedience in 1/3 of the population can only be compelled .
(Laws) . For this we need enforcers . Bullies .
8. Most humans are simultaneously bullies and grovelers . The
trick is to do it so the social is fabric
is enhanced .
All that yakkity-yak
about discipline and leadership .
This can be trained , but can we have some manuals ?
9.Teenagers :
They really need it . Even whenthey want to grovel , they
don’t know how to . This appears as rebelliousness to the parent .
“Hear and tremblingly obey !”
