Sanity Is Impossibility, Santosh Jha [best young adult book series .TXT] 📗

people, even different organisms, in turn impacting differentiated behavior-action patterns. These different patterns then create milieus for more and varied entropic expressions. This dialectics of Reality keeps energizing the chain of evolution, which is a succession and progression of a set of behavior-action engendered in response to a causality that presents at a point of time and space as Reality. This all must only be accepted as a philosophical hypothesis but it seems, this hypothesis somehow matches up with how evolution has been described to work as.

Evolution has been said to work as a patch up mechanism, not looking for long term solution but short term diversion to survive against an immediate trouble. This supports the entropic nature of evolution of Reality. For example, it is said that if by a certain development in physical milieu of a species, it becomes tough for the species to sustain itself, evolution would respond by shortening the gestation period of the maturity of the infant in the womb of the female of the species. This would be the response of evolutionary adjustments so that the new born has better probability of survival and species could have better freedom in moving to other physical milieus where life is easy.

It is said, evolution would not create any solution by installing such physical changes in the species that would help it improve its milieus to make life easy. This patch up adjustment of shortening the gestation period of womb may affect the infant’s strengths and abilities and this shall itself create more entropic progression in evolution but evolution does not care. It is believed evolution comes up with stupid engineering solutions and thus adding entropic consequences.

Though nothing can be said with surety but it seems around 10,000 species go extinct every year on Earth now as out of the estimated 100,000,000 different species on Earth, we lose .01% of them every year. This may be explained as an indication that evolutionary engineering may not have been working out sufficient solutions to these extinct species, which perish in their ambient milieus. May be, evolution is busy patching up things for other species and in turn engendering such entropic situations that prove fatal for these extinct species. Or, as many believe, changes in milieus are happening fast and evolutionary tools cannot catch up with this speed, making survival impossible for these extinct species. Whatever be the reality, it seems probable that evolution works on entropy energy, in turn adds more to keep complicating the life-living milieus and finally appropriating annihilation of species. A stupid engineering can do no better! Or, for that matter, no engineering can do anything about finality of entropy.

Like, evolution gave a powerful and un-satiating sex drive to humans to probably fix a possible trouble in its mechanism. However, it did not care enough not to create the HIV virus that has killer potentials for humans. The evolution gave venom to snakes for its own survival potential but did not have the idea that someday they would kill thousands of humans. Evolution seems like a very localized and short term adjustments to entropy situations, which itself becomes a mega factory of successive and subsequent trigger of endless and probably bigger entropies. It seems; there is an entrenched theme of cannibalism as well as inter-species conflict in the evolutionary scheme of things. These themes are also deeply manifested in wired human subconscious layers and this may well be termed as ‘stupid engineering’ by evolution as it installs permanency of 3Cs – Chaos, Confusion and Conflict in milieus within body-mind media as well as the milieus.

Somehow, it seems a rather likely hypothesis that had evolution been a progression towards perfection, excellence and innate ‘extropy’, human world would have been different. Philosophically speaking, humanity understood at least 5,000 years back that the core element that predominantly shapes human life-living and world view is its mortality. Still, evolution seems to have added more and even easy avenues of death for humanity, instead of pruning them. It is accepted by a section of scientists that the human consciousness itself is the accidental or progressive outcome of ‘Entropy-Expansion’ as human brain reached a threshold of complexities and excellence of information handling and memory of experiences. This human consciousness is now considered not only at the center of our understanding of Reality but also happens to be the singular element of almost all troubles of humanity.

The idea is that philosophically, there is a strong and reasonable case of acceptance of a hypothesis that entropy is the primary causality and successive and subsequent entropies are sub-causalities of progression of the way Reality expresses itself and chooses suitable media to communicate this expression. Naturally, as time progresses and evolution keeps up pace with its transcendental stupid engineering, larger and more diverse entropies shall unleash themselves till the ultimate and inevitable finality of mortality is attained.

Somehow, many people can very rightly dispute this hypothesis. And they have reasons to believe so because overall, the human world seems to be doing very well. Rather, there are definitive indicators globally that human life and living is getting ‘better’ every passing day. This however is classical dualism of human world. This we need to understand to have a holistic picture of Reality in our world and our life-living.

The primary reason why the world seems to be becoming a better place to live every passing day on one hand and still, the sanity of the system is eroding and dwindling fast on the other, is the way Reality is presented, portrayed and made to be consumed by average people. There are enough economic data about tangible consumptions of market utilities and it is periodically dished out by governments and market mechanisms. No doubt, technologies are improving and better and more consumptive availabilities are being ensured; laterally and vertically. However, when we seek a data about societal, cultural, psychological or behavioral wellness and availabilities, there are none or very sketchy ones. Rather, in many researches, the derivative outcomes are not commensurate to the positives in consumptive domains. The fact is that average humans are dished out and displayed only a part of the Reality that has tangible data, which supports improvements and growths. The holism is never available for visibility, let alone scrutiny.

So, in a country like India, ask for data about gross domestic product (GDP) growth and it shall come up in seconds, showing it is improving every quarter. It is altogether different thing that governments and its agencies have now devised smart ways of ‘managing’ real data and presenting a skewed or perspective data to show up their rosy sides. Data mining is now very well a part of data management skill. Ask for data of sale of vehicles, housing, consumer items, etc and they are everywhere. Ask for share market and mutual fund data and there are good reports. Everywhere there are talks about the data and emerging realities and media is dished out ‘commanded info’ to show up satisfactory efforts of governments. No doubt, there are real data too and they are good. This feels great and ushers in confidence. But it cannot be denied that as economics in contemporary world is intrinsically linked and aligned to politics, no economic expression is free of political interference and expediency.

This apart, ask for data on inter-religious solidarity, inter-caste stresses, behavioral patterns of lower-middle class, wellness perception of demographic divides, happiness index and other social and cultural data, there shall be none or very sketchy ones. Even the economic data is confined only to selective broad indices, which are easy to be managed. Ask for GDP data and it comes quick. However, ask for data of share market and mutual fund investment of different age group, demography, ethnicity, income groups and gender divide and there shall be either no data, sketchy ones or a data that has not been revised since a decade.

We need to understand how relevant and critical data about core and cardinal realities of life-living are not only bothered about but also intentionally vitiated so that current insanity is sustained, because this insanity feeds the un-satiating greed empire of ‘5 Percent’ over the rest of ’95 Percent’. This very data mining enterprise of modern world, be it economic ones or even socio-cultural ones, is essentially a politically aligned and linked exercise and therefore, information in contemporary world is seldom sacrosanct.

For example, global researches point out to the fact that diabetes is a manifestation of growing stress within the body-mind system and outside in milieus, both being interlinked. There are updated global data about number of diabetic people and on what medical support they are. It is there as it suits the industry and profiteers. However, ask for a data about how growing menace of monolithic cognition is affecting the stress pattern of minority communities globally or in a country and how these stresses are linked to probable surge in number of diabetic people within the group. Let alone the data, this very probable idea shall be dismissed and even openly flayed by authorities. Try to relate socio-religious issues and especially political decisions with lifestyle changes and seek a data about that and you shall be in for trouble. This is primarily because, it does not fall into the purview of mainstream business of profiteering from a situation of insanity in society and culture.

The modern age is no doubt the era of information surplus but the fact remains that enough data may be available but it is never across the board and holistic. Moreover, there seems to be a conscious effort by concerned authoritative layers to flood in contradictory data and information so that there could never be a singular Reality for average person. The confusion is not only natural but also intentional for specific and ‘desired’ end results by people who rule and dictate.

These details can be endless but we are not going into those. What we can summarize is the hypothesis that at micro levels, it may seem that individuals or group of humans are responsible for this or that troubles of human world and life-living but the macro level fact remains that they are not the actual protagonists of trouble and insanity. The trouble is innately and intrinsically in the very make up, nature and structure of the Reality, as it is unraveled and expressed to Human mechanism and system of observation and perception. The real protagonist of troubles and insanity therefore is not the human body-mind but the Reality itself that plays out in human milieus on Earth.

However, from this hypothesis emanates the sub-reality, which is the basis of our assertion and the core content of this eBook that Sanity may be Impossibility at macro levels in our human world, it is very much possible at individual levels. The primary reason for this assertion is the realism that whatever be the finality of reality, it essentially plays out, is unraveled and deciphered only at the lowest level of an individual body-mind mechanisms and processes. Reality plays out and is actualized only at the microcosmic and local levels of individual self consciousness.

So, effectively, this eBook proceeds on the hypothesis that though, the primary culpability of troubles and insanity does not stand with individual consciousness, the only media that plays out and executes the actual ‘offence’ and wrongs, is the individual consciousness. Therefore, it is at individual level of microcosmic Reality that sanity could be possible, if ever. That is why there is old saying that there is no need to change the society, nation or the world; rather change should be designed and installed at individual level, for every man and woman as it is the people who are the last and the only effective ‘media’ to message any change about Reality and its possible alternative expression.

This hypothesis brings us to the task of elaborating how sanity can be made a possibility at individual or personal levels, even while remaining and interacting with the larger milieu, which is innately and intrinsically antagonistic to sanity,
