The Paradise, the planet of Flesh, of carbolife, Gaia, the collective organism of mankind, whatever name you want to call it, has a rival ecosystem...

The ecosystem of animetals, machines, that appeared in the last age of history, barely 4.ooo years ago.

With the arrival of bronze, History changed, and ever since two type of cultures and global ecosystems, compete on this planet.

At one side the religious cultures of social thought, based in neolithic, agricultural societies and human goods. On the other side the cultures of animetals who use and evolve metal, either weapons, money or machines, often the 3 types of organic metal there is, to control social people.

It is the paradox of History. History stopped evolving towards a social organism, according to the laws of social evolution, and became divided into seemingly irreconciliable lots.

Right Vs left, Rich Vs Poor, Dictators and troops Vs common people, Religious people Vs corrupted one. There have been many ways to call two kind of people that use two different ecosystems and create different societies.

The Animetal who uses weapons and money to regulate society.

And the believer in Human Wor(l)ds and Human Goods, that follows a religion of love, and social evolution.

Today when humans compete with machines and metal senses in the control of this planet, its global organisms, and social groups, the same fight still endures, albeit subdued, as most countries are economic ecosystems.

Yet through history the fight was so intense, that it transcended the normal humans, and the neurons of the organism of history, the artists, fought on that fight.

The artists indeed, were the neuronal leaders of human societies.

As t he masters of human senses, artists, have always opossed either with words or with images, to the evolution of technology.

This is indeed an obvious, curious fact of history. Not only at individual level machines and men compete, and so do the verbal and digital languages, that we both species speak, but at collective level, the best writers, prophets, religious masters, and the best artists, and painters, have been against the world of money and machines.

In that sense I would like to consider a text that shows how old is the fight between verbal men and machines of metal...

And God=The Laws of Evolution said to Man:
"Do not eat of the tree of science=technology,
of its good and bad fruits=metal-species
because the day you do=evolve them
certainly you will die=become extinct'

Parable of history, Genesis (Bio-historical translation is on Italic text). Written circa 2000 B.C., after the age of chariot wars probably by a Sumerian writer, fleeing the Holocaust.

I have illustrated the quote with certain facts of history: the Genesis is the oldest text of mankind, and the most copied book of history (since it has been in continuous print for 4000 years).

It was then, when according to the legend, a man, probably a writer, from the temple of Ur, left the city, with his family and moved up the Euphrates. His name was Abraham, and either he wrote or took with him a book, the oldest book preserved by mankind, called “Genesis”. The Genesis told us the parable of the “original sin of man”. It explained, how mankind had ruined the paradise of carbolife, because humans were too arrogant, and wanted to be superior to all creatures of paradise. So they discovered new species, technological species, metal species, money and weapons, symbolized by the “tree of science”. Yet those metal-species were not all good. There were many rotten apples, many bad fruits, in that tree. Fruits that will cause the extinction of mankind. Obviously the legend was talking about weapons. Since what other species of the tree of science can extinguish mankind?

The parable of the tree of science was a warning, of a wise man, that was leaving behind a city destroyed by hordes of bronze charioteers. He understood that metal and man were different species. And different species kill each other, even if they might be symbiotic for a while. He was an evolutionist, 4000 years before Darwin came with the same concept. His book was the best-selling book of human history, as Terminator movies of Hollywood are the best-sellers of modern day. Call it common wisdom.

People seem to understand quite well what is good and bad for them. So they subscribed to the legend of the tree of science, as they go today to see Matrix. Ever since all prophets of human religions, and priests which have believed in that book from Moses to Christ, have praised poverty, and love, against the arrogance of those who live off the tree of science, of machines, money and weapons. We could use some advice from them... Indeed, given the success of Genesis, we should imagine that its themes might be of certain meaning to mankind, and might be “immortal”, essential laws of History that we like to read once and again.

Plainly the Genesis is a parable about the fight between men and weapons which expresses the bio-logical Laws of God, applied to history.

When we translate other parables of Genesis to modern biological terms, it is clear that the Genesis is a book about the bio-logical laws of history. It already talks of the Mandate of Reproduction that all species follow (Grow and multiply). And in the parable of the tree of science, it talks of the dangers of science, of technology, of evolving species made of a different kind of matter, stronger, and more powerful than our carbon matter, such as metal is.

The entire origin of Western religion, a religion of the human kind, that puts mankind and His survival in the center of the scene, is “the original sin”, the “sin of science, of technology”. The parable of the original sin is the key to all Human Religions -Christianity, Judaism, and Islam- whose confessed aim is to improve the collective and individual chances of human survival. That parable is crystal clear: do not make technological species or you will die. Today the same concept is expressed in biological terms by the Law of the Jungle.

The Genesis says so through a parable, the parable of the paradise of carbolife destroyed by the tree of science. It probably was inspired by a fact of history, that happened when the Genesis was written: the massive extinction of human life and nature caused by the wars of bronze charioteers, which extinguished the Sumerian civilization based in human goods, the land of the writer, and Abraham of Ur. The prophetic writer of Genesis who witnessed that Holocaust, puts a warning to the following generations: metal, the substance of which weapons, machines, and robots are made, is dangerous, it kills as a weapon. It controls your mind as money; today through metal-minds, and the mass-media system of ideas in favor of machines that controls your way of thinking.

Metal is evolving, and its evolution is a “Darwinian evolution”, if we consider the behavior of metal, with the human kind. In fact metal has been for most of history a top predator weapon, and it has been used to kill us.

The writer of Genesis shows an enormous intelligence. Perhaps at the time, the existence of only a single hard metal-species, (bronze), made the distinction between the amazing murderous properties of hard metal, and the properties of carbolife so clear, that the prophet could see, what today a forest of machines does not let us see:

We men are a carbolife species, as Nature is. Metal and machines, money and weapons, are metalife species, a rival species which humans are irresponsibly evolving. The warning of Genesis is against those men who evolve metal. It merely says to them, that they will extinguish “eternity”, “life”, the human kind, the immortality of the species, as they did with the beautiful summer lands of Sumer, the paradise of life.

Who were those humans who carry the original sin, the biggest of all sins, the sin that in Dante's divine comedy put men on the ninth inferno, the sin of harming the entire humankind, the original sin? We will call them animetals, because of their biological function, as catalyzers of metal evolution. We will not call them “metal-masters”, or super-men in the Nietzschian tradition of German iron warriors. Since really they are not super-men. They are just men, who obtain added power to abuse human beings, using metal, either as warriors, traders (that control us with money), or scientists (who evolve machines).

Yet animetals are a minority. They are not the mankind. They do not represent our species, and our goals. Unfortunately, it is the common man, not the animetal, the one who has tasted throughout history, the bad fruits of technology. First scientists made weapons, and were called Smiths. Then they made guns and measured their trajectory, inventing physics (Galilee's famous jobs with cannonballs).

The “Adam Smith”, the perfect animetal declared that making machines is the wealth of nations. Now the sons of that Adam are very clever and make very complex machines, with all kind of shapes and purposes. Yet in all those metal-species 3 main biological properties have remained ever since the Genesis was written:

-They are made of metal.

-They poison the environments of life, of water-based species, the paradise...

Machines are indeed tough to make and move, because metal is an atom more complex than our carbon atoms. So the primary environment of machines in which the common man has to work is a harsh environment.

-Finally, the best of them, the most evolved machines are weapons whose purpose is to kill and extinguish man.

Of course when you just design the machine as a scientist, or sell and buy a machine as an industrialist, you don't suffer harsh conditions, as the common man does. The designer of machines, and the manufacturer, earn more money and have more work to do when more machines exist. They multiply profits and numbers as Cains did. Yet at the end “they will die”.

They are arrogant men, cheated by the arrogance of the original sin, thinking they can be like God. So God, the laws of evolution, will punish/punished/punishes them, to the inferno of eternal work, war and death. Such is the parable of Genesis that still stands.

The parable of the Genesis continues today...

It is remarkable that very early in History metal became synonymous in literature of all kind of infernos. Adam, in the myth of the Genesis, as told by Muslim traditions, was condemned after “testing the tree of science”, the tree of technology, to work=reproduce metal and wandered the Earth as an “iron-smith”. His son Cain, embodiment of all evil, was also a smith, and killed Abel, the embodiment of the Neolithic paradise, the farmer. In the Persian religion of Zoroastrus, the inferno was a lake of metal... The most common torture in old times was to fill your ears with melt metal. Throughout history, the hardest environment for humans have been a metallic environment. Mining was always a torture, to the point that required the use of slaves, since there were not enough volunteers for those jobs. The silver of Athens was taken with slave workers. The gold of the Spaniards required an infamous institution, “La Mita”, that made thousands of Indians into slaves and corpses. In the famous “Garden of delights” of spanish painter El Bosco, hell is represented by a landscape of open mining fields. Children in coal pits died young. They were taking buried carbolife from the mother Earth to “feed railroads, iron horses”.

In the XX century weapons of all kind, made of steel, killed around a hundred million human beings. Today modern writers, in Hollywood, foresee as the Genesis did, the extinction of our civilization by robotic weapons. They are basically the last stages of evolution, of those first “machines of metal” which were the bronze chariots that destroyed Ur, the civilization that invented writing, 5000 years ago...

It seems human history is following that path. The warriors and scientists and economists of metal, of weapons, machines and money control the common man. They are the cancer that take history through the evolution of metal. Yet they will succumb to their cancer, if they do not become less arrogant, think of the original sin, remember Abel, the farmer, and stop playing God with the tree of science, stop killing the third world, stop despising the common man.
