So, the governments in many countries say they try hard to achieve prosperity, but it seemingly gets even worse. Why? Because they don't treat the root cause of the problems , which is the lack of freedom = insuffiently free market, which in turn is because of too much government! Government IS the problem. You cannot extinguish fire by pouring more gasoline, as you cannot solve the "too much government = not enough freedom" problem, using the same government. All a government has to do is NOTHING beside guarding borders– just get it out of the way, don't let it touch anything with government's dead hand, let the gentle and invisible hand of self-regulated free market optimize society and economy. Whatever government touches– it hurts it, so let the government touch only our enemies both abroad and the criminals inside the country. Government has no business whatsoever meddling with economy or society under false pretext of "interstate commerce". 300 million of Americans are smart enough to manage their own affairs better than any stupid bureaucrat thousand miles away from them. One, each American knows the state of his/her affairs better than anyone in the world. Two, each one has incentives, the tightest positive and negative feed back loop from his/her actions. So, they have the highest chance of making the right decision. Three, if someone srews up– he/she screws up only him/herself while when Washington, DC, as always, screws up– they screw up whole country with repercussions all over the world. Why? Because they don't have a feed back from their actions or inactions, no liability at least until next elections, and with cover up of 96% totalitarian "progressive" MSM they might escape any liability at all! And may be even more important– the society and the economy is an extremely complex multifactorial system in a state of dynamic stability with trillions of interactions in real time of billions of factors pushing in different directions , sometimes with antagonistic purposes, with very narrow window of homeostasis, of dynamic stability, of equilibrium. Thus, no government, no group of experts can possibly comprehend this immensely colossal conglomerate of running engines, lest predict, plan and direct to improve the outcome. There's zero chance of successful government regulations because it is against the laws of nature, including the human nature and the laws of free market, and the result is that the government cure is always worse than the original ill due to the unintended consequences , but even after thousands of failures of socialism those delusional leftists from Chavez to Obama keep trying now. No "social engineering" can change the human nature, which is result of 4.5 billion years of natural selection; no "messiah" in the White House can change the laws of nature to fulfill his dreams about ecologically clean perpetual motion machine, or any other delusional ideas. Only self-regulated free market with the feedback loop can achieve the optimal outcome, the best possible compromise between all the variables. Free market is the only engine of progress, free market has created everything around us– all goods and services, the drastically improved quality of life, electronics and informatics while the instrument of coercion, the government, in exchange for the taken from our pocket money created nothing good: the word "public" became synonimous to poor quality from public toilets and schools to public women. Thanks to the free market, todays "poor" have better life quality than a prince 300 years ago. "Progressives" contributed to the society even less than the coercive government, which means negative numbers, because small and accountable government is a necessary evil but the "progressives" are not, and they are not more progressive than progressive syphilis. All they do is breaking fabric of society to as many as possible groups and then antagonizing them as in Roman "Divide et impera" = "Divide and conquer"; perpetuating discrimination; hurting economy, prosperity and individual liberties in the pursuit of imposed through the coersive government utopian "social justice and equality", which each time turns out to be an equality of bums in the gutter with the exception of the ruling "enlightened" leftist elite. So, all the choices in America's elections boil down to whether to vote for life or for the death of the nation; to vote for conservatives (which mean voting for demographic survival, for Free Market that is based on the unintended benefits of the productive "greed" with ensuing economic prosperity and individual freedoms) or to vote for the "progressive" totalitarian Democratic socialists with "social justice " demagoguery and unintended consequences of their destructive greed for people's powers and money.
However, let's discuss this matter in further chapters.
II. The levels of natural selection
As much as we know, everything in our Universe at the present time is in process of undergoing changes both evolutionary (smooth, and up to the point, mostly quantitative change) and revolutionary (abrupt and typically qualitative changes).
The cosmic level of natural selection: Imagine the beginning of our Universe, whether it was Big Bang or the coalescence of the matter. Probably there were multiple formations and systems, some more stable and some less. Less stable ones disappeared in explosions, implosions, black holes, fusions, annihilations and in many other unknown yet processes. The stable ones survived longer, and we can watch them in the sky, including those that were "living" 5 billions years ago in another Metha-Galaxy, whose light is just reaching the Earth as we speak.
Similarly, the Solar system underwent many changes, some planets survived, some not, and by now almost all possible collisions with vast majority of massive asteroids on majority of orbit have happened already. So, the chances of another cataclysms is pretty low (which is encouraging, right?), and the Solar system so far is in the state of dynamic stability.
Atomic/particles/field level of natural selection:
Imagine the nuclear fission or fusion bomb explosion. The very first moments there is an immense diversity of different isotopes, particles and rays/fields. The most unstable ones are extremely short lived, in tiny faction of a second they disappear, being transformed into other forms also with various "life span". The natural selection gradually sorts them out– for some of them it takes seconds, for some year, for Uranium half-life is 2.5 billion years. Of course, both intrinsic and extrinsic factors (such as cosmic rays) keep influencing the existing equilibrium, but nevertheless we can call it relatively stable stage of dynamic stability.
Chemical & physical natural selection and dynamic stability:
When our Earth became solid, probably, 6 billion years ago, it was affected by different kinds of energy of extremely high levels , including but not limited to temperature, irradiation, physical processes and chemical reactions which resulted a huge diversity of compounds and chemicals. The Moon was circling around the Earth in a very close proximity of 20,000 km (today almost 20 time farther away), causing tidal waves of lava tsunami splashing through the broken by the gravitational effects Earth crust rather than today's water tides.This variability and diversity presented multiple opportunities to combine them in the nature laboratory later on, which 4.5 billion years ago resulted in the evolving first life forms.
Biological level of natural selection:
My definition of life is rather broad :
"Life is a complex system in the dynamic stability state that in the ever changing environment maintains its dynamic stability by using self-regulation processes with the feed-back loop and reproduces itself". The key word in stability is "dynamic": as Heraclitus noted, you cannot twice step into the same river because the waters keep changing even though the entity considered to stay the same. We ourselves also keep changing– in a period of several months majority of atoms in our body are completely replaced by new ones and yet we consider ourselves "Yes, I am the same person even though I keep changing". One might find inorganic, electronic and even cosmic structures that will meet this definition, and I would consider them
