The need for the death of man and his politics
Then they all die. But do they actually die?
Opinion: Politics can easily be defined as whatever is done to ensure the leadership of a society towards survival from nature.
In biology, all living cells (bacteria, viruses, and protozoa), as well as clusters of cells (goats, birds, people, and snails), live through a very brief life cycle whose aim is to simply create other cells, age, and then die off.
The reason they die off is as a result of the accumulation of errors within the genetic code, which is actually the benchmark of all life. The difference between the DNA of a snail and a human or even plant cell is therefore negligible in biology.
It is as if the whole Earth is just full of one cell, replicating, duplicating, multiplying, and surviving in many different forms.
Every multicellular organism therefore has material from other living beings or cells as part of their bodies. Our skin resembles and behaves like the skin of a tree leaf.
Then they all die. But do they actually die?
There are many lines of thought as regards mortality, but I shall use a range of scientific ones to elaborate why no living thing really dies.
In mankind, mortality is automatically a disadvantage to life itself, as if just one of us in this WhatsApp remained alive for 1,000 years. By then, the being would have attained so much knowledge (intelligence) and made so many mistakes (errors) that his or her presence on earth would be a bias against any living being.
He could be president or an absolute dictator on earth, and nobody shall have a way of eliminating him as he is immortal anyway.
How the DNA solves this threat to continuity is by simply erasing all the memory in the mother cell (aging and death) after it has duplicated (giving birth to a child).
This ensures that the exact cell and the exact DNA from the mother or father cells do not die, but whatever it accumulates while the cell or being is alive (e.g., feelings of hate, revenge, love, directions, locations, etc.)
Plants have the same reason, but since plants, unlike humans, have intelligence as the power point for survival, a tree of 20,000 years old would have had her root networks cover the whole forest floor, and that would be the end of all trees on earth.
The Lioness’s power point is her knowledge of how to hunt. A 5,000-year-old lion alive today would eat all antelopes for no good reason, really. Just because she has all the tricks for tracking them. The rest of the lions wouldn’t eat anything forever. End of Lions and Antelopes on Earth.
Just as in the above, human politics too survives on the death and erasure of memory of everything ever utilized from the past.
Imagine that just one living human today had remained alive and knew which tricks the Bacwezi used to vanish. That person would be the King of East Africa.
It may seem as if it’s an advantage to preserve standards and leadership models that worked in the past to this very day, or from today to 3,000 AD, but that would be the end of society as these erasures of memories in human systems enable the opportunity for new and fresh ideas and concepts to prevail while not being bogged down by immortal dogmatist political concepts created from as long as our cave and tree days.
