Causation and attribution are fundamental concepts in nature and human behavior. The evolution of human behavior and nature is erratic, but not random. If there was only randomness in the world there would be no natural laws, no predictability and only chaos. Consciously or unconsciously, every human being utilizes the concepts of causation and attribution…
Building further on the two general pillars of human behavior, energy and intentions, what exactly is the smallest unit of intention (SUI)? Is it the individual human being or perhaps is an individual only the voting machine of intentions of multiple genes it carries with him? It might seem reasonable to define the SUI…
Singularity is a concept most people easily can identify with. Human beings have a conscious mind, which is wired to think as a unit. Moreover, people who do not have this possession are considered insane. Singularity is usually considered a virtue. People who “take personal responsibility” or have “independent minds” are considered positive stereotypes. [difference…
In human behavior, competition and cooperation go hand in hand but, competition is the more fundamental force in the evolution and behavior of life. Competition was first and cooperation came second. This originates from the natural limitations in necessary resources for all living creatures. The struggle for limited resources in a limited (life) time span can often…
Unexpected opportunities and threats shaped human behaviors fundamentally. GOAL CONCLUSIONS STRUCTURE FOLLOW UP REFERENCES GOAL The purpose of this post is to link generalized features of evolution and natural selection to their subsequent human behavioral responses. Background Million of years of evolution and natural selection have shaped hominoid behavior in order to physically and mentally…
Adam Smith, described wealth as “the annual produce of the land and labour of the society”. Implicitly, in this definition a profit & loss approach is utilized, being a measure of income per year, as opposed to a balance sheet approach, with total accumulated non-consumed production. This profit & loss approach has become commonplace. Frequently economists define…
Education as measured by the years of schooling, shows a remarkable strong positive cross-country correlation with GDP per capita. This correlation not only holds today, but has been fairly persistent since education became broad based in western societies, some 150 years ago. During that era governments began facilitating education for common people and started to…
What do humans want ultimately? The purpose of human behavior is not easily derived from a single universal driver. Psychologically, a singular driver of human beings is probably best described by a desire to leave a “footprint” or a heritage during lifetime and thereafter. This desire manifests itself by an urge to genetically reproduce oneself…
