The Dodo Bird
The Dodo Bird
The Dodo bird is now an extinct species.
You may have heard through text books (or other fictional propoganda) that in the absence of natural enemies, the dodos evolved into their stocky, flightless forms and were unadapted to coping with predators.
Thus they were easy prey for hunters and lost their eggs to pigs, rats, dogs and Halloween pranksters introduced by evil male human animals.
That is only a small abstract part of the real story.
After surviving for millions, nay - trillions of years, they did become fat and lazy couch potatoes. Prior to their demise, they were fierce predatory carnivors that would eat anything in their path whilst driving away competition.
But if they hadn't changed these tactics, like the sharks haven't, they would still be around today, as the sharks are.
But sadly, they did change their thinking.
They adopted a new and damaging philosphy which crept its way into their society over a prolonged period of time (because all of the really neat stuff occurs over prolonged periods of time).
The culmination of this new world view was a document. A document so heretical and backwards that it is amazing that any one of the dodos gave it any credence.
It preached a theology of anti-natural selection. It spoke against survival of the fittest and opted for peace and love among ALL animals (which includes human animals).
This document was - The Animist Manifesto.
No, you haven't heard of it until now. This has been one of the world's greatest secrets kept by that subgroup of so-called atheists who call themselves Humanists.
(Only the church leaders have these guys beat in keeping secrets and pushing falsities on blind fools.)
They don't want you to see what this line of thinking will do to us human animals. But the truth must be exposed!
"What truth?" you ask.
Well, the similarities between the Animist Manifesto and the Humanist Manifesto are almost identical. And remember, the dodos are now no-no's.
Now, the only copies we have are what appears to have been scratched into tree trunks by the sharply clawed feet (traditionally used for ripping the flesh of its prey/enemies) of these pacifist birds. The language has since been dubbed, "Dodoglyphics."
So go now and look at the "Humanist Manifesto I" then come back here.
(Doo da doo da doooo. Hum ha hum ha hummmm. Whistle, whistle, whistle.)
Okay, now that you have read the "Humanist Manifesto I", compare the striking similarities to the "Animist Manifesto I" posted below...
The time has come for widespread visual contact of the radical changes in animal reactions throughout the modern forest. The time is past for mere revision of traditional impulses. Experience and climatic change have disrupted the old instincts.
Animals the world over are under the necessity of coming to terms with new conditions created by a vastly increased experience of experience. In every field, forest, lake and desert of animal activity, the vital movement is now in the direction of a candid and explicit animism.
In order that instinctual animism may be better understood we, the undersigned, desire to make certain affirmations which we believe the facts of today's existences demonstrate.
There is great danger of a final, and we believe fatal (whatever fatal means), identification of the animal kingdom instincts with impulses and reactions which have lost their significance and which are powerless to solve the problem of animal living in the 18th Century.
Instincts have always been means for realizing the highest survival of life.
Their end has been accomplished through the interpretation of the total environing situation (reactions), the sense of values resulting therefrom (the prey), and the technique (species), established for realizing of existence.
A change in any of these factors results in alteration of the outward forms of instinctual behavior.
This fact explains the changefulness of instincts through the centuries. But through all changes instinct itself remains constant in its quest for abiding values, an inseparable feature of animal life.
Today animal's larger understanding of the forest, his experience achievements, and deeper appreciation of herdhood, have created a situation which requires a new statement of the means and purposes of instinctual behavior.
Such a vital, fearless, and frank instinct capable of furnishing adequate herd goals and individual satisfactions may appear to many animals as a complete break with the past (whatever the "past" is).
While this age does owe a vast debt to traditional instincts (and bankruptcy is NOT an option), it is none the less obvious that any instinct that can hope to be a synthesizing and dynamic force for today must be shaped for the needs of this day.
To establish such an instinct is a major necessity of this present day. It is a responsibility which rests upon this litter. We animals therefore affirm the following:
FIRST: Instinctual animists regard the forest as all there is. There's nothing else. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Zero.
SECOND: Animism believes that animals are a part of the forest (yet separate from it) and that they have emerged as a result of a continuous random process; because we were there as it happened.
THIRD: Holding a semi-ordered view of life, animists find that the traditional dualism of instincts and the invisible programming of our genes must be rejected.
FOURTH: Animism recognizes that animal's instinctual habits and herds, as clearly depicted by what we observe, are the product of a gradual and random development due to his interaction with his neck of the woods and with his herd heritage.
The animal born into a particular neck of the woods is largely molded by that neck of the woods.
FIFTH: Animism asserts that the nature of the forest depicted by animal experience makes unacceptable any invisible programming of genetic code for animal reactions.
Obviously animism does not deny the possibility of realities as yet not experienced, but it does insist that the way to determine the existence and value of any and all realities is by means of rooting around and by the assessment of their relations to animal needs.
Instincts must formulate its hopes and plans in the light of the experiential habit and impulses.
SIXTH: We are convinced that the time has passed for pouncing, biting, and the several varieties of "new hunting techniques".
SEVENTH: Instinct consists of those actions, purposes, and experiences which are animally significant. Nothing animal is alien to the instinctuous.
It includes eating of food, wallowing around, scratching, ignorance, mating, clans, running -- all that is in its degree expressive of ignorantly satisfying animal living.
The distinction between the instinctual and the reactionary can no longer be maintained.
EIGHTH: Instinctual Animism considers the complete realization of animal personality to be the end of animal's existence and seeks its development and fulfillment in the here and now. This is the explanation of the animist's herd passion.
NINTH: In the place of the old attitudes involved in hunting and killing, the animist finds his instinctual emotions expressed in a heightened sense of personal existence and in a cooperative effort to promote well-being of a universal herd.
TENTH: It follows that there will be no uniquely instinctual emotions and attitudes of the kind hitherto associated with belief in the unseen programming of our genes.
ELEVENTH: Animals will learn to face the crises of existence in terms of his experience of their naturalness and randomness. Reasonable (whatever reasonable is) and animal attitudes will be fostered by experience and supported by habit.
We assume (but we're not biased in any way) that animism will take the path of herd and reactionary hygiene and discourage sentimental and unreal hopes and wishful thinking.
TWELFTH: Believing that instincts must work increasingly for joy in existing, instinctual animists aim to foster the creative in animal and to encourage achievements that add to the satisfactions of existence.
THIRTEENTH: Instinctual animism maintains that all clans and herds exist for the fulfillment of animal existence.
The experiential evaluation, evolution, control, and homing instincts of such clans and herds with a view to the enhancement of animal existence is the purpose and program of animism.
Certainly instinctual herds, their habitual forms, killing methods, and hunting activities must be reconstituted as rapidly as experience allows, in order to function effectively in the modern forest.
FOURTEENTH: The animists are firmly convinced that existing hunting and killing-motivated herding has shown itself to be inadequate and that a radical change in methods, controls, and motives must be instituted.
A socialized and cooperative environmental order must be established to the end that the equitable distribution of the food of existence be possible.
The goal of animism is a free and unified herd of ALL animals in which said animals voluntarily and intelligently cooperate for the common good.
Animists demand a shared existence in a shared forest.
FIFTEENTH: We assert that animism will:
(a) affirm existence rather than deny it;
(b) seek to elicit the possibilities of existence, not flee from them; and
(c) endeavor to establish the conditions of a satisfactory existence for all animals (including the ugly ones), not merely for the few or the cute & cuddly.
By this positive instinct and intention animism will be guided, and from this perspective and alignment the techniques and efforts of animism will flow.
SIXTEENTH AND LAST: We still reserve the right to mate with anyone we choose, and for as much as we want to. Don't force your values down our throats.
So stand the theses of instinctuous animism.
Though we consider the instinctual forms and ideas of our genetic source code donors no longer adequate, the quest for the good existence is still the central task for animalkind.
Animal is at last becoming aware that he alone is responsible for the realization of the forest of his dreams, that he has within himself the power for its achievement.
He must set absurditity and sarcasm to the task.
SUMMARY:
These Dodo-heads mounted a revolution against all that is natural.
They denied their forest-given instincts of hunting and defense, and adopted pie-in-the-sky fairy tails of peace and tranquility among all animals (including sharks and humans).
You can't fight nature. It is within us and around us. Death, disease and killing are just the way things are.
It's nature's way of clearing the gene pool of inferior genetic code. It's a circle of life kind of thing.
The last (16th) affirmation left some hope of countering the effects of the other 15, but alas it was insufficient. There is not enough procreation in the world to offset the destruction of fighting natural selection.
And the same goes for Humanism!
Why these psuedo-intellectual wanna-be atheists want to fall into the same trap is beyond us. You would think that they believe we are in some way above (better than) nature.
Don't be a Dodo-head.
Reject Humanism!
Reject Humanism!
