Evolutionary

Wow I want to applaud every schizoaffective, schizophrenic out there. Give yourself a nod of recognition despite natures folly on us we have as modern humans found a way to survive that is somewhat reasonable.

Maybe it was the environment we live in caused out condition. It morphed our dna into some ill gene marker. Can we eradicate sz sza in future generations? Or will better engineered medicine with no side effects give us a better chance at living an even more normal life?

We have evolved into the 2% of the population with this particular difference in our dna. However mental illness extends into so called normal individuals. What is the identity of sz or sza? And may we cure it?

What caused it all we know is that we were born with it and later in life it flourished into some form illness. But where down if we look back down the evolutionary ladder, how old or how new is sza sz?
How did that illness prevail to succeed?

Homo Sapiens with a brain capacity of 1400cc learned to adapt. Just like Neanderthalin Europe masterd the cold and spearing wooly mammoth, the mammoths would later form out of europe and back into Africa as modern day elephants. Crocodiles an ancient mostly unchanged species were present millions of years ago and still are. Not much variance however the best adapters became us.

There in Africa multiple species of humans migrated to china and russia. All interbreeding, it wasn’t until climate change over the course of thousands of years forced the settlers to follow the animals their source of food out of africa in wave like fashion.

Fast forward. Cel phones. Race cars. Computers. Why did man go brainiac all of the sudden in such a relatively small bottleneck amount of time?

You may call what you believe a religion, I respect that. However evolutionary theory makes so much sense it puts our history together. When I die when you die you might have left a child behind besides that the only part of you that will stand the test of time for future anthropologists is your skeleton, your bones. Welcome to reality, I have innate relation in my dna most people would rather not accept to an ape. Am I an ape? Of course not. Real apes exist today. Alot would disagree. But the fact the many years down our genetic heritage was a being who had not the skeletal structure of a human or an ape, could learn to think ahead. And amassed killing tools. By means of a flourishing climate advanced reproduction sent homo sapien like people with brains born with the ability to articulate by advanced sound and speech. Our modern day construct is booming. Will our habitats eventually be totally populated, what type of government will we have. Will our adaptive species turn to the stars, where they have been turning their necks up wards for eons. In awe. Is that our destiny will we be starchildren?

you seem to enjoy evolutionary theory? have you a background in the sciences? my background is in software and I love all science related topics.

I’m obsessed with knowing stuff. So i pick myself apart all the time, turning that obsession inwards. I love the world, but lately I just want to see a place where I fit in. I don’t think Earth even makes sense, I dont think any of this makes sense. Its beautiful, real and unreal, physical and immortal, seen and unseen but its lacking the love to make up for its suffering and tragic flawed existence.

I’m scared. My own obsession with life. I feel selfish to think it, but do I deserve it? Is there any impact I can make, I feel oppressed and trapped.

It’s just a shitty mutation that perhaps kept around the gene pool due to [ask Robert Sapolsky] and maybe the notion that the paranoid subtype is adaptive in some few cases. I believe my case to be adaptive. I’m serious. I’ve heard all sorts of stories and my story was about a badass…all of the other stories are not exactly badass. It could just be my personality combined with paranoid schizophrenia, but whatever, I was a badass without medication, I was great at school, literally kicked ass and did not even give a ■■■■. I just did my thing and got drunk. Then I woke up and did it again. And again. Every day until I ran out of booze this one night and was like “■■■■ it I’ll just try the medication”

Schizophrenia does not need to be adaptive or to improve the chances of reproduction. Just by virtue of the complexity of the brain things can and do go wrong. Most brains suffer under streas however each brain certainly process stress differently. But when you read enough on the main illnesses they overlap in terms of sympthoms.
