Current events give credence to the fact that an inherited gene or trait that lies dormant in the very fiber of our existence. It comes out every now and again when the situation calls for it. We loose ourselves in it. Fortunately, we have caring individuals who will willingly and without hesitation save us from ourselves. There are, however, some that are lost forever! Let me elaborate...
The Evolution of MAN..
Ardipithicus ramidus 5 to 4 million years ago
Australopithecus anamensis 4.2 to 3.9 million years ago
Australopithecus afarensis 4 to 2.7 million years ago
Australopithecus africanus 3 to 2 million years ago
Australopithecus robustus 2.2 to 1.6 million years ago
Homo habilis 2.2 to 1.6 million years ago
Homo erectus 2.0 to 0.4 million years ago
Homo sapiens archaic 400 to 200 thousand years ago
Homo sapiens neandertalensis 200 to 30 thousand years ago
Homo sapiens sapiens 200 thousand years ago to present
Resting somewhere inside the Neandertalensis and Sapien era, there was the Meandertalensis era. The people were known as the Meanderthals. Or meanderers for short. Very little documentation has been found on this era because no one seemed to care back then. In fact, as the Romans had Rome, the Egyptians had Egypt, the Meanderthals has a Nation called Prokrasti. The citizens of this nation had little or no purpose. They would walk aimlessly for hours on end and really go nowhere. Their primary diet was bean curd, salad and clear water. They did not have a judicial system because there was just no crime. There was no monetary system. ?? It seems that there was no need for one. There was no entertainment and absolutely no extracurricular activities. They were the proverbial couch potato of the time. They were the quintessential man who never asks for directions. Nomads and gypsies were kings and queens compared to the Meanderthals. There were no hunters and no gatherers. Everyone, it seemed, just existed to contribute to the depleting ozone.
The nation of Prokrasti had no known rulers. However, Prokrasti had two scribes. Mediocrates and Apatheticus. Both were phlegmatic by nature and they were the only highlights of the era. The source of the documentation appears to be from Mediocrates. It is written that Apatheticus just didn't care. More documentation is being unearthed every year. Archaeologists have found that there was no specific library and no consistent source on which the scribes scribed.
The era came to an abrupt end much as the Aztec civilization. No one knows why or how but it is speculated that Rhymicus and Reasonus shed light on this otherwise dark and doomed culture. Dawdlectomies were as frequent as the sacrifices were in the Mayan civilization. Who knows perhaps it was the plague of loiteritis that killed everyone off. In any case, a revival was inevitable!
I often catch a glimpse of this Meanderthal gene in my kids. They will walk like zombies when asked to preform a menial task. They will respond with a stupefying 'HUH?' when talked to. They will respond with 'I don't know' when asked a trivial question..(in which you all ready know the answer) They accept average as the norm and reason with phrases like 'Yeah, but..' and 'Why?'. I discovered that the trick to bringing them back into real time is utilizing one of the 4 levels of Conflict, Influence and Intimidation. All with the premise of Love and Respect, of course. Teenagers inherently become Meanderthalic by nature between the ages of 14 and 18. If you are lucky, you should get them back some where in their 20's. There are some late bloomers of course and some that get through this stage unnoticed. I know a few individuals that have fallen into perpetual meanderitis. With that said all you can do is understand that it is just a phase......Do you know a Meanderthal?
