Are we not men? - Devo has a book out ["we are KNOT men"]
Devolution of the human race is happening now, days DEVO, the art-punk music group from the late 70s.
Date: 7/4/2007 1:04:03 PM ( 17 y ) ... viewed 2031 times Devo is a musical-political group from the late 70's, whose message was that humankind is no longer evolving, and are now actually DE-volving. Devo. Devolution.
They finally released some words to go with their act, in the form of a book that is largely autobiographical but contains their thematic material, the devo view of the world. Here is a link to reviews about the book:

It really resonates with me to think about the Devo message. There is a story about a snake that went back to living in the ocean... humans are biological, and if other creatures have the potential to devolve, so do we.
The evidence is all around us, in the words and actions of humans.
WE ARE:
- resorting to more and more violence at home, on the streets, and between nations
- technologically stunted - eg. "Who killed the electric car?"
- intelligence is getting weaker - due to educational direction, the advent of watching 12 hours of TV a day, and heavy metal poisening [lead and mercury building up in all our environments], and militarism mentality sweeping the nations associated with America, we have lost a lot of intellectual capacity.
And there is much more evidence to suggest we are devolving, thats mine. Devo didn't really try to lay it out in biological terms, they focused more on the social fallout of devolution.
etc:
My little circle of friends from that period were into climbing mountains, as recreation. We would say "are we not MEN? - we are KNOT men!!", which was a pretty clever phrase, or so we thought, in refereance to the ropes, and knots, that spared our lives when we fell.
I think they are onto something.... have you talked to people lately?
