Ideas are like living things. They reproduce,they grow,they
proliferate,they are confronted with other ideas and they end up dying.
And what of if ideas were to have their proper evolution like animals?
And if ideas were to conduct a selection amongst themselves in order to to
faciltate the elimination of the weakest and reproduce stronger ones as
spelt out in one of Darwin's theories?
In the text entitled:"Hazard and necessity"-1970,Jacques Monod emerged with
some hypothesis that;ideas could have had some kind of autonomy as living
organs,to be capable of reproducing amongst themselves and multiply to a
greater extent.
In 1976,in the text entiled:"The egoistic genes",Richard Dawkins came up
with the concept:"Ideosphere". This ideosphere would be for the world of
ideas, what biosphere is for the world of animals.
Dawkins therefore,summed it up as:"Whilst you are planting an idea in my
spirit you will at the same time be literally turning my brain into a
parasite,transforming it to a vehicle for the propagation of that idea".
And he cited the existence of the concept GOD as an example,an idea that was
born one fine day and has still not ceased to exist and ofcourse being
propagated,its is being relayed and amplified by words(speeches)or
writing,likewise music,arts,preachers do reproduce it and interprete it in a
way to be able to adapt to the current situation.
But ideas unlike living beings,die faster.An example is the coming into
existence of Marxism,this theory(idea) spread very fast,to an extent that it
touched or was received by half of the population on earth.
It evoluted,died,then was finally reduced to a point that its only embraced
by very few individuals,as if its a species that facing total extinction.
At the same time it has caused constraints for the old style of capitalism
to fade off as well.
A combat of ideas within this ideosphere constantly surfaces in this
civilisation of our time.
Actually,computers are rapidly generating a fast way of exterminating some
ideas.Thanks to the internet an idea can quickly emerge but will undoubtedly
be faced with rivals and go of the scene.
Its excellent to consider the good ideas but at the same time theones we
consider bad,because as far as the notion called "idea" is concerned,the
connotation "moral" does not exist.
In biology,equally evolution does not obey moral.
That is why it is always necessary to think twice before "swallowing"
"toiling" ideas,because nowadays they have turned to be more powerful
than those who either invent or are trying to conduct them.
After all they are nothing else but ideas.....
Vanessa once said to an arm chair revolutionary during a heated debate the
following:
My first is:TALK
My second is A
My third is:THIEVES
My forth is:ANT
My fifth is:ACT
My sixth is:THIEVE...
My whole says:Talkatives aren't active!!!
MR EDWARD SMALL AND MY ANSWER.
Actually Mr.Small i am equally confused as to what you expect from me as an
individual? Your question concerns me not as a jammeh supporter but as
gambian. Don't you need the versions of others whether pro or against
Jammeh? If not why? What worries me is that in the beginning you sounded
respectful but its apparent that your "temperature" is rising!Please lets
honour the respectful trend.
The presidency term is not for Paul ALONE to nibble as a ripe paw-paw
fruit,neither should it be a long equation for the Jammehists only!
Paul.
