about

Mezzula was deep into formulating the second draft of his interesting sounding, but cumbersomely titled paper “USURPING ENTRAPOCRACY– Overthrowing the System that Keeps us Working Against Ourselves.”

“… and in terms of proximate history we are those people who historically are called the working and middle classes, those people who can accurately be described as the 99% … whom the Constitution calls ‘we-the-people’ … ie ‘the lumpen proletariat’ … the masses … the people who are a mass of contradictory opinions but who are nevertheless linked by … well … here and now by the fact that we all depend on and breathe the same (polluted) air …

Further, we are linked by the ultimate history of sharing the same human DNA which evolved over millennia, and makes everyone of us to his day dependent on a network of caregivers ie “mothers and others” (citation: Sarah Hrdy) making us the most social and cooperative species mammal species on the planet.
(citation: ‘Homocurantis’ ... bringing up B.B.B.B.E. ie Bigger Brained Babies Born Earlier) (citation: Dean Falk... the literal "evolutionary bottleneck' of maximum female pelvic opening measured against cost of maintaining upright bi-pedal skeletal frame).

People still didn’t get that part he thought. Compared to the other Great Apes, for instance, we humans are ultra-social and amazingly cooperative, compassionate, generous and sharing. However, since the invention of agriculture and the ascension of patriarchy dominant narrative continue into the twenty first century to portray us humans—using thoroughly debunked quasi-scientific theories and defying the evidence of our daily experience—as essentially narcissistic, selfish, ultra-competitive and aggressive, and as a result we fall into the trap of thinking that that is how we are supposed to behave to get along in the modern world, and excusing those kinds of behaviors.

He added a new sentence: “In the modern sense, this dog eat dog ideology, in a nutshell, is what still sustains the Neoliberal entrapocratic experiment, though the veracity of it has nil basis in science.

— from Chapter Two “Brain Circus”

lyrics

WE TELL A STORY THAT’S OLDER THAN ALL OF OUR OTHER STORIES
GOING ALL THE WAY BACK … TO OUR HOMO ERECTUS ROOTS
OF A PROBLEM-SOLVING MAMMAL TASKED WITH BRINGING UP BABY,
BIGGER BRAINED BABIES BORN EARLIER

SO, OUR HELPELSS HUMAN BABY ENTIRELY RELIANT ON THE GOODWILL OF OTHERS
TO BE SURE SHE EVOLVED CHARM AND A MOTORBIKE LOUD CRY
IRRESISTABLY COMPELLING, BRINGING TOGETHER MOTHERS AND OTHERS
INTO A SOCIALLY MINDED COMMUNITY OF CARE GIVERS

SO, WE HUG EACH OTHER WHEN WE LAUGH
AND HOLD EACH OTHER WHEN WE CRY
FROM THE DAY WE’RE BORN TILL THE DAY WE DIE
WE ALL NEED SOME OF EACH OTHER TO SURVIVE
COS WE’VE ALWAYS NEEDED EACH OTHER TO SURVIVE

FAST FORWARD TO A BIZARRO PARRALEL UNIVERSE OF THE TWENTY FIRST CENTURY,
WHERE ROCKERFELLER RUGGED INDIVIDUALISM ALLEGEDY REIGNS SUPREME
BASED ON A MISTAKEN, AND DISCREDITED, VIEW OF OUR HUMAN NATURE
THAT WHAT ‘S GOOD FOR A BILLIONAIRE MUST BE GOOD FOR US ALL

LIKE SOMEONE WHO NEVER CHANGED A NAPPY OR NEVER READ DOCTOR SEUUS
WOULD KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT BRINGING UP BABY OR EVEN HAVE THE SLIGHTEST CLUE
REGARDING THE YEARNING FOR COMMUNITY, THAT GUIDES THE MOST OF THE REST OF US
IN SHARED CHILD-REARING ADVENTURES THAT BRING OUT OUR BEST SELVES

SO, WE HUG EACH OTHER WHEN WE LAUGH
AND HOLD EACH OTHER WHEN WE CRY
FROM THE DAY WE’RE BORN TILL THE DAY WE DIE
WE ALL NEED SOME OF EACH OTHER TO SURVIVE
COS WE’VE ALWAYS NEEDED EACH OTHER TO SURVIVE

SO, REMEMBER WHERE WE CAME FROM, AND WHO HELPED US GET WHERE WE ARE
IT WASN’T ARROGANT CEO’S OR PSYCHO REALITY TV STARS
IT WAS MOTHERS, SISTERS, AUNTS, BROTHERS, NEIGHBOURS TEACHERS, MENTORS, PEERS
DADS, GRANDMOTHERS, FRIENDS AND COUNTLESS OTHERS

SO GIVEN CLEAN AIR, CLEAN WATER, FOOD ON THE TABLE AND A ROOF OVER OUR HEADS
WE LIKE MUSIC AND DANCING AND STORIES AND LOVING WHO WE WANT TO LOVE BEST
AND SCIENCE THAT MEASURES CONNECTION BY SHARED DNA AND ATMOSOPHERE
AS A RISING GLOBAL COMMUNITY THAT COULD SAVE THE SPECIES

SO, WE HUG EACH OTHER WHEN WE LAUGH
AND HOLD EACH OTHER WHEN WE CRY
FROM THE DAY WE’RE BORN TILL THE DAY WE DIE
WE ALL NEED SOME OF EACH OTHER TO SURVIVE … EMOTIONALLY …
COS WE’VE ALWAYS NEEDED EACH OTHER TO SURVIVE … PHYSICALLY …
WE ALL NEED SOME OF EACH OTHER TO SURVIVE … SCIENTIFICALLY …
COS WE’VE ALWAYS NEEDED EACH OTHER TO SURVIVE … UNASHAMEDLY …
QUITE LITERALLY … AND NOW MORE THAN EVER!
