Culture Wars: The Quest for Knowledge Through Migration

To All God's Children,

-->
Why are there so many cultures and different beliefs? Is culture the spawn of disagreement? Say all of our ancestors started out in Africa. Why did some of them eventually migrate into new territory like Northern Africa, East Asia, The Middle East, Europe and eventually the Americas and other little islands? People with similar attitudes end up in regions near each other; that small minority is the one that escapes and moves somewhere new. For example, the Puritans left Europe to start a new world because they didn’t agree with the culture or the religion being pressured onto them so they abandoned it starting into a bright new world.
Although it may make some people upset, technically the Native Americas are not native to the Americas either. A lot of people have been angry for years that the Native American’s land was stolen from them by the English, but we forget that Native Americans are descendants of the Mongoloid peoples who crossed the land bridge across the Atlantic ocean and settled in the Americas. But why do you think they settled there in the first place? Because they weren’t satisfied with what Asia and Europe had to offer them and they wanted more.

I really think that’s why Europeans have revolutionized the world with their inventions and innovative concepts towards science and philosophy. They are the people who were the least satisfy with our origins stemming from Africa. They are the descendants of the people with the greatest cognitive disequilibrium who desired to keep migrating and learning more.
That doesn’t necessarily make them smarter, but it makes them more desperate to find truth and to find peace of mind. How many years were they wrong about the center of the universe until Copernicus came along; or the world is flat until Eratosthenes; or how many people since then it has taken to develop knowledge to where it is now. More than any other race of people, the Jews have given us some of the greatest thinkers and excavators of truth ever – period. Freud, Einstein, and Jesus are included.

However, we may have this “Great Person” theory of history, but it has taken the contributions of millions of driven and desperate people to come up with all that we know today and will know tomorrow. So in other words, the people you see today in America are the ones for whatever reason were the most desperate to find truth and freedom in the world, and the others that we still see in loin clothes in Africa or South America are descendants of the ones who were content with their limited but satisfying understanding of the world.

Who’s the smarter person? The one who wants to live in the warmth of the African or South American sun or the person who wants to fair against the cold and harsh Scandinavian countryside? That’s why they lost all their color trying to stay healthy in the brutal climate by absorbing as much sunlight as possible. Or I could be wrong. I wish there was a way to prove all this.

Peace be with you
