Of animality
Evolution from animals to humans
Impact of our origins
The elite minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, mediocre minds discuss people . Jules Romain .
I call " discriminating elitism," the natural tendency to despise the people hoarding all the privileges * .
* honors, wealth, attention, power, media space, etc. .
This form of elitism derived from the principle domination / subordination being in nature. In natural primates for example, a dominant (or dominant group ) are necessary authority to his fellows. Instinctively he aspires to attain absolute power and undivided ( autocracy ) . At the top of the hierarchy, it uses most of its energy to preserve its privileges.
The impossible management drives
natural primates have not developed the same ability to manage their trends that man . When in power and its benefits, they are psychologically unable to share . Only top violence ( that the pretender ), managed by force, to make him let go . A new dominant or dominant group is then required and reproduces the pattern indefinitely.
The desire to dominate
The man and his animal
the difficult letting go
"Often, awareness is not enough. Only top violence manages to let go the hoarders . "
Most "bad" human behavior derived from animal behavior. Culture, education, justice, should in principle restrain the primary side . But when you look at the progress of society, then we perceive the strength of our archaic . If we had passed, hoarding would be part of our history. But this is not the case . The man adds too rarely reflections engines humanizing actions.
The habitus of the elite unfair
Failure to drop privileges unjustly acquired part of the management of low instincts. It is indeed very difficult for some of the elite to share with fellow poorer * .
* Disadvantaged, because of the injustice of these discriminating elite.
Today, for example, the elite of the market is aware of the ravages associated with poor distribution of wealth. But with few exceptions (Bill Gates or Warren Buffet) prevents his psyche to want to share .
Not only the elite hoard wealth, but his unconsciousness instinctively pushes to increase its wealth and prerogatives. And to capture and more media attention that should concern before all the poor.
I am the most beautiful
The dominant run after primary privileges to exhaust their impulses, it's natural ... But they do "art" of living generally, it is a deception to the greatest number . No more spiritual force can stop them, and since the powerful hold imagine the best way to live. They are presented through television, as the ideal to follow. Drunk omnipotence they advocate their compulsiveness and selfish, has the whole of society .
A pathological example
The frantic need of power or wealth should definitely not be idealized. This drive often falls indeed, pathology and not of wisdom. It is an absurdity to give the prime movers as an ideal to follow. The consequences of this are obvious aberration . The explosion of violence and antisocial behavior in the contemporary humanity are few.
We see now the discriminating elitism is a problem for humanity. By selfishness, a large part of the inhabitants of this planet do not have access to subsistence. A minimum which every human being should and could now be entitled. *
* shelter, adequate food, education for their children ...
