The fundamental lessons of history

History is a fragment of biology: human life is part of the vicissitudes of terrestrial and marine life.

Like animals,

busy with living,

busy with dying,

busy with loving.

The laws of biology are also the fundamental lessons of history.

We are governed by the process and traces of evolution,

and also tested by the survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle.

There are only two driving forces: one is called survival,

the other is called reproduction.

The first lesson biology teaches about history is:

Life cannot do without competition.

Competition is not just about the survival of transactions,

but the exchange of life — when food is abundant, competition is peaceful,

when food is scarce, competition becomes violent.

Animals do not feel the slightest guilt when they eat their own kind,

but civilized humans consume others through legal procedures.

Cooperation is a tool or means of competition.

Group competition shares the same characteristics as individual competition: insatiable greed,

fighting bravely and fiercely,

party loyalty and discrimination,

arrogance and self-importance.

Nations are like us,

recording our nature in prominent bold letters,

and doing good or evil on a larger scale.

Fighting bravely and fiercely,

insatiable greed,

greed-driven,

are stories flowing in our blood for millions of years.

War is the highest form of competition between nations.

War promotes cooperation between nations,

simply because cooperation is the ultimate form of competition.

The second lesson biology teaches about history is:

Life is a process of evolution and selection.

We are born with differences: this stems from our physiological,

psychological inheritance, and the influence of culture and tradition among groups.

Even twins have countless differences,

and there are no two identical peas in the world.

Inequality is not only natural and innate,

but also increases with the complexity of civilization.

Genetic inequality leads to social and artificial inequality; all inventions or discoveries are made by outstanding individuals,

resulting in the strong becoming stronger,

the weak remaining weak.

30% of people’s overall qualities are enough to rival the combined abilities of all others.

“Nature” scoffs at the “utopian” ideal of a free and equal alliance,

because freedom and equality seem to be eternal enemies,

one side wins,

and the other will die.

When people gain freedom,

the natural inequalities between people almost grow exponentially.

To prevent the growth of inequality,

it is necessary to sacrifice freedom.

Even under some repression,

inequality will continue to develop.

Only those with income below the average level,

long for equality; only those who feel they are highly intelligent,

desire freedom; the final outcome always favors the latter.

“Utopian” equality is a biological disaster,

only the mildest philosophers hope that legal justice and equal educational opportunities are achievable.

The third lesson biology teaches about history is:

Life must reproduce.

“Nature” considers it meaningless for organisms, variants, or organizations that cannot reproduce in large numbers.

“Nature” loves quantity immensely,

because quantitative change is a prerequisite for qualitative change,

and “nature” also prefers to select a few survivors from many struggling lives; undoubtedly,

she considers the competition among thousands of sperm racing toward an egg for fertilization as natural and proper.

“Nature” prefers groups even more,

making civilization no different from barbarism.

Reproduction,

mutation,

competition,

selection, and survival are all part of “nature’s” way.
