The human race has gone through many stages of development before reaching our present perfect form. It is interesting to see how “progress” was often somewhat circular or perhaps we should say spiral, corkscrewing through time. Early on we were a very primitive stress-filled animal scouring for food wherever we could find it, which is in vast contrast to our present stress-free situation where everyone has what they need and is very satisfied with it. A number of times in our evolution at least parts of some cultures came close to our present clearly defined stress-free existence, only to then regress in subsequent years.
The following is a public version of my history thesis (Conquering Stress), which I wrote 10 years ago in 2074. This version includes some information as to how I actually acquired my data and how I worked with it. The thesis itself is a historical trip through some of the more interesting periods of human evolution and includes theoretical and practical explanations as to why and how negative stressful emotions caused us to divert from a more direct path to our present perfect stress-free life. |
