[QUOTE="Ross_Я, post: 105623, member: 6806"] I think you should abandon the term "evolution", this will give your words more plausibility. Evolution means long-term changes by definition, evolution is not a thing that changes overnight. Quick changes are revolutions. Overall, this whole "consciousness' evolution" reeks of bicameral mind theory. We talked about it a bit in this thread here: [URL]https://forum.agoraroad.com/index.php?threads/6341/#post-97057[/URL] I denounce it and find the notion of consciousness - or anything else, for that matter - being able to evolve so radically in less than 6000 years ridiculous. But you might find it an interesting read to support your ideas. I will copy the most important part of my point against it here though: ______________________________________ Give them a year or two - or even a decade or two, or, perhaps, even a generation or two - and they will adapt. Humans in general are very adaptive species. They can adapt to almost anything. Adaptaion does not mean any radical changes though, and barely affect consciousness as well. And the most basic consciousness-related lines of human society haven't changed for years. To this day most people live by the Bible and the Ten Commandments which have been written 2000 years ago, and said text itself has been based upon older religions that has been written God knows how long ago. Some of the texts included in the Old Testament are proven to be ancient egyptian. To top it off, there have never been a society which had a radically different morals. All human societies that are known to us knew basics, like, lying or stealing or killing is bad and should not be done. And - I'm not sure why, but I feel like I should note - terrorists and the likes are not a society. Ultimately, this is the line where our views differ. Personally I read enough ancient texts to be sure that nothing really changes in a mind of an average human being. Decorations change, but humans remain the same for at least 4000 years at this point. Obviously, there's no way to prove if any of us is right, though I'd like to bring an ancient egyptian to our times. Or, you know, the opposite thing. It would've been a shock, but I'm pretty sure adaptation would've been rather quick. Now, I can provide a point to contradict myself, but I guess that wouldn't be wise. Maybe later. Finally, I feel like noting that the point above is the weakest one of yours. There are still polytheistic societies on our planet, like syncretistic part of China which I've mentioned in the OP. And they barely differ from the rest of us. Their laymen are no different from the monotheistic laymen, and their consciousness is neither lower nor higher than a christian one. Go figure. [/QUOTE]
