its beginnings. It is out of that favor of darkness in reason and the retribution inherent to it that
we Sapiens Sapiens are our species only survivors.
It is within that archaic memory of survival of the fittest that we Sapiens Sapiens with an
evolving development of abstract-cognition in service of the limbic, in service of our assertion
that our Id conjured phobic-might is right, have imagined and invented ourselves beyond the
bow and arrow, to deadly nerve-gas, deadly bacteria and viruses.
We have invented ourselves rockets that carry multiple war-heads of hydrogen bombs and
through genetic engineering there is more vicious and deadly inventing to come. We have done
all this and will continue to do this in our inherent potential in limbic-retributiveness, in our
assertion of limbic-tantrum-conscienceless-might.
It is as if we Sapiens Sapiens in our loyalty to our limbic-nature have no choice but to join in a
suicidal blind-faith with “Nature’s” conscienceless-limbic-nature, no choice but to join in
“Nature’s” cycle of extinction and creation.
It took us only 20,000 years to get from the bow and arrow to the atomic bomb, and 6,000 years
from the first wheeled vehicles to spacecraft, and star-wars technology. Dare we imagine, on a
screen of conscience the many thousands of wars our species have fought, the many
hundred of millions upon hundreds of millions that have died in all the limbic-phobic politics
of might is right.
Dare we imagine how many have died in the collateral-damage, in the resulting famines, and
diseases in just these 20,000 years of our Sapiens Sapiens inherent Potential in memory and
cognition dragged to lower-purpose, dominated by our species most ancient-archaic, limbicretributive
memory and cognition.
It seems almost silly to speak of education as the solution to our species acculturated and
therefore educated limbic-drive to extinction. But what more civil means within which to
impart the skills through which one can as successfully practice free-will in intellect, as they
have been taught to practice phobic-will in intellect. What more civil means does a society and
a people have to overcome the limbic-driven, blind-faith and rush to retribution that more and
more acculturates and educates our species, and organizes our planets cultures, societies and
politics.
If within education, art is to accomplish anything of relevance to the evolving of our inherent
potential in memory and cognition, such that it serves the survival of our species. Art education
needs to organize curriculum to serve our Sapiens Sapiens potential to create a memory,
cognition, art, and culture which in its dominance in abstraction in cognition and free-will in
intellect, deconstructs our acculturated history of limbic dominance in cognition. Education can
no longer see progress as simply an ever growing pool of cognition in abstraction, can
no longer see progress as an ever growing development of intellect, that is blind to its,
acculturated, inevitable-service to the limbic, especially with educations present focus on utility
and vocation. Such blindness spells the inevitable extinction of our species, as more and
more power of destruction comes to serve our acculturated loyalty to our ancient heritage of
limbic-compulsion in desire and greed, with their retributive-machiavellian devices. I reference
