About the Book
The evolution of the Body is well-understood, but the Mind remains a mystery. The recent discovery that two sets of RNA genes, ancestral male and female lines of life experience, inform the hemispheres of the brain has opened the door to Co∙GENESIS. The way we see the world is formed by 250 million nerve fibers that uniquely interconnect the hemispheres of the brain: maleness (left) and femaleness (right). Experienced as deliberative consciousness, our silent inner voice, our thoughts range from anger and revenge at one extreme, to love and forgiveness at the other. When did these voices emerge, and how did they make Humankind the ruler of the Earth?
Co∙GENESIS explains our evolution to the vast array of mindsets, our social order, that frames our daily lives in unexpected ways. For instance, presidential elections provide a view into millions of minds, but the most revealing clue is the "landslide." In 1964
liberal Lyndon Johnson defeated Barry Goldwater 61.1% to 38.5%. The second landslide of the modern era occurred in 1972 when
conservative Richard Nixon defeated George McGovern 60.7% to 37.5%. How can these be landslides? Why is there never a 90/10, 80/20 or even 70/30 victory? The answer: an underlying
social order, a pattern of mindsets that repeat in every generation to assure a resilient Humankind. Oppositional mindsets account for 80% of the vote: 40%
conservative (low empathy/trust) see a world of threats, and 40%
liberal (high empathy/trust) see a world of possibility. One side has evolved to compete in war and the other to compete in peace. These voters are unpersuadable, consistently a 40/40 draw. The remaining 20% are independents, able to see both worlds therefore: 40% + 20% = 60% maximum: the landslide. Variation of mindsets, not normalcy, produces a resilient species: predisposed to survive in war, a meteor strike, or compete in peacetime. Co∙GENESIS and the RNA MIND impart a random expression of perception/behavior in each individual, and yet achieve a stable social order of mindsets across the population as a whole. Much as in a game of five-card draw poker, each hand dealt is random, but statistically there will always be a stable ratio of pairs, flushes, straights, and full houses overtime. The unique interconnection and emphasis between the hemispheres forms our
personality, and the underlying RNA binary code is the foundation of the dynamic functions of complex life forms:
- Homeostasis: The balancing (±) of bodily functions, e.g., heartbeat, oxygen levels, and thermal balance, to maintain biological set points.
- Variation and Social Order: Imparting unique individual perception & behavior while maintaining a balanced social order of mindsets across the species results in a resilient Humankind in war, or peace, or natural catastrophe.
- Deliberative Consciousness: Real-time access (only by Humans), to the two streams of ancestral male and female wisdom: maleness/femaleness.
The RNA MIND informs the silent inner voice that you are using to read these words. This ancestral guidance-your consciousness-can suddenly become a debate between
empathy or
no empathy when threat or opportunity arise, the voices of those who have gone before as we face the unknowable challenges of life ahead.
