The End of Man

 In Genesis we read how man came to know the truth, the knowledge of good and evil and was thus thrown from the garden or paradise to live a life of toil and hardship. I see this as an allegory for man discovering, whatever the reason, agriculture. Which inevitably led to civilization. Since then it has been a downward trajectory for human kind masked in the guise of "progress". Primitive hunter gatherers had a relatively easy and stress free life of relaxation and at times gathering, and rarely hunting to survive. While early agriculturalists led a life of hardship and toil, and were significantly less healthy than hunter gatherer counterparts. Agriculture led to civilization, which led to large scale conflict and this so called progress was only to further civilization itself. Math and geometry were developed as a means to build better agriculture. Military was developed to defend the surplus food and those that managed it. Growing technology is like slowly building your own prison in which you live and are now helpless to escape because you know no other way. This is domestication. Animals who are domesticated often have a much smaller brain than their wild counterparts, likewise modern human brains are 20% smaller than our ancestors from 20,000 years ago. Our dependence on technology is killing us, it is not making anything better. Look around, the rich are getting richer and the poor are growing poorer. The system isnt even bearable to live in. A small medical bill could bankrupt the average American. Just to get higher education one must drown themselves in debt from which they will never escape.

The end of man or humans themselves, to be more specific, is the modern techno-industrial system.
