Someone made fire. Someone was first. I don't mean the idiot who found a burning stick and kept it going. I mean the fellow who could make fire. And until that knowledge was stolen, that fellow was the most powerful person on the planet. And it means something, to be first, to be most. It means a great deal.
It means you have the opportunity to reproduce at the highest frequency and with the most desirable partners. It means your offspring have the greatest chance of survival and a better opportunity to make their own fire.
I personally believe that human evolution has run it's course. We live in a world where the people who can make fire have a tendency to wear condoms, sit in casino's and drink themselves into a stupor.
I believe that individual evolution has been replaced by something else, by a shared evolution, a communal contest if you will. I believe in corporate evolution. I believe that the corporation that is first, that is the most, has the opportunity to manufacture with the highest frequency and in the most desirable markets. And that its shareholders by extension, have the greatest chance of survival and reinvestment.
What I really need to know is, can I share my fire with you?
