Natural Selection - Race

How are species created?

Factors:

Time

Geography

Climate

Plant and Animal life

Hydration - rivers, lakes, rainfall etc.

Random factors - earthquakes, volcanoes, meteors, viruses….

Isolation

If all these factors are present a species develops sub-species and if these factors persist these sub-species become distinct species.

We call this process speciation. For the retards.

No culture, no civilization, no trade is necessary.

These enter factor in later….

What is a race, or subspecies?

What is a species?

A population that can reproduce.

What is reproduced?

Range of traits, relative to environment circumstances.

Environment determines which traits are advantageous and which are advantageous - naturally selecting the advantageous ones.

For the retards.

This process also determines niche survival and reproductive strategies, determining which traits will be selected, as advantageous, or ideal, for that particular niche, wihtin a particular environment.

Random factors (chaotic energies being part of the environment) produce mutations that may be advantageous, disadvantageous, or neutral.

Humans systems do not cause genetic differences, they simply exacerbate them, or establish them - institutionalize them.

Can a member of one race fall outside his racial range of potentials?

Yes…due to the random factor previously mentioned.

This exception to the rule does not negate the rule.

A beneficial mutation will propagate and become part of the racial category’s range of potentials.

Internal differences are a given.

Range of potentials applied to both species and sub-species categories, simply delineates the category’s identifying traits - traits displaying its potentials.

Probabilities.

A member of any category will fall within this range, or may fall beneath or above it - outside this range - due to the factor already mentioned.

This is part of natural selection.

Free-will is essential for this to be a fact, otherwise everything is determined and nothing offers an advatage - so there is no mechanism to explain how species evolve.

We return to creationism…minus an intentional will (god).

God’s will is replaced by something akin to Schopenhauer’s ‘groundless grounding’ (Will) which was adopted by Nietzsche. God’s will minus the god part - minus consciousness.

God is replaced by an absolutist, totalitarian cosmos, essentially implying that everything that exists, including species and sub-species, is a consequence of some kind of cosmic plan…which may repeat indefinitely.

Another way of justifying eternal life.

There is no teleology in Arty’s Will so that comparison is unfounded. No plan, no agent determiner (like god).

God’s will minus god.

That’s what I said.

Groundless grounding…uncaucused cause…”outside space/time.”
