Why didn’t they colonize Jupiter?

Few people think about the meaning of life. In a conservative world, everyone seems to have no room for selfishness at all. This is understandable. Either a well-fed person or a noble person thinks about the meaning of life, and a person from the elite is a priori a well-fed person. It is not proper for an aristocrat to be hungry, otherwise what kind of aristocrat is? Poverty and hunger make a person insignificant and dependent (dependent on the collective of relatives in the first place. And so on). This dependence eventually turns into the duty of everyone born in a traditional team, and this duty is one of the innate habits. (Today, this debt is called a debt to the Motherland and Motherland is the same group of people that the hero does not know, but he knows that there is a Homeland)

Therefore, it is not necessary to teach all traditional peoples heroism. They have been fighting each other for thousands of years. All the peoples of the world still need heroes. Although modern heroes are called differently today. But this does not interfere with our conclusions.

Traditional people are born for war.

All traditional people were born to fight, or to be more precise, to survive. The struggle can also be with nature itself. But the struggle for survival and survival does not exclude the war of the Zerefs with each other. After all, the man himself is the most important part of nature. At least, that’s what he decided. Although in nature, the struggle of species did not stop for a moment without human intervention. This struggle of species means that it is still going on.

But how does a person fight? Who is he still fighting with nature or with yourself? With both.

Although the struggle of the peoples took a variety of forms it is important for us to find out how the mass struggle, or war, or the tradition of war, survived its wild time and what form it took at the moment. We are already used to it, and we are taught that only savage people engage in bloody battles, and modern people do not. Modern people are so tolerant of each other, so tolerant, so cute. There is no war (and there is one). There is no nationalism (but there is one). There are no conspiracies of financiers (there is a contract).

So.

Are people really tolerant of each other?

Where did the heroic traditions disappear? How have the traditions changed in general? After all, according to the law of conservation of energy, nothing disappears anywhere, but only changes its shape.

Once we started this conversation with the Arab Spring.

We need to be clear. Or explain. Or just reassure ourselves that we know something. We just know something. We just know the facts, but it’s hard to make a system. But who finds it difficult?

And since we know something, we will also draw our own quick conclusions.

Moreover, we have a new method – revcon.

There is such a concept in the world practice as modernization.

What do we know about modernization?

Modernization is understood as the process of transition of traditional collectives, communities, and peoples to another state, to the state of modernity. The state of modernity is understood as industrialization, urbanization, cultural and mental mass rebirth of people.

Traditional people under the influence of technological progress change their attitude to the world.

I agree. They change it.

But how they change it. What do they understand? What do they forget? What do they remember?

Do the former Zerefs have no memory at all or do they all get blood transfusions? To the point where they forget who their kin are?

No way. They don’t forget. They remember.

Maybe they cease to be courageous people at least in their hearts? To the point that in the first urban generation they are a little rude, primitive cunning, excessively greedy, and at the same time patriotic?

Yes, it is. The tradition of capture, plunder, war, in general, any past historical rudeness, cannot immediately disappear. But it is now past feudal qualities that are rude. For feudalism, all means are good in order to obtain material goods in any way. But first, need the fame, then rank, then caste.

Today, observing how in former republics (namely former socialist republics, not past monarchies!) nepotism, tribalism, corruption have flourished, and this is despite the fact that the same modernization and urbanization was carried out in the former republics, what can say?

We can say that the technological revolution, the construction of cities, mass education were important for the mass rebirth of the local population. All the local peoples have changed a lot. Mass education cannot fail to change the quality of a person.

However, what each individual person remembers, as well as every traditional people, could not disappear in time. The political form, and in our case socialism, was important so that the peoples did not immediately wake up the old memory. And the Soviet education and the remnants of culture are still working, working so that the awakened reflexes do not absorb all the peoples back to the old time.

We will be interested in the question again and again.

To what extent can modernization (technological revolution, urbanization, education) change mass reflection? It is reflection. Because there are no other ways to explain the massive conservative revival after the collapse of empires but only through mass reflection.

It is to understand the situation that the facts of the Arab Spring will be used.

Why the Arab Spring?

Yes, because before European modernization, the countries of the Near and Middle East were the cradles of an ancient civilization.

So ancient that judging by the degree of influence of urban culture and culture in general, the descendants of Sumerians, Assyria, Babylon the Arabs should have already colonized Jupiter. What do they do now? What is a paradox?
