Evolution: Unalienable Rights, trumps, "survival of the fittest"

"The Life of the scientific community, has the freedom ("Liberty") in research, via the scientific method during its evolutional process, in the pursuit of the objective to better understand the Laws of Nature, and once accomplished, there is positive-feedback for the world (aka "Happiness"). " What is the simple key to survival? Reproducing to keep your species alive. When plants, bacteria, and protists are trying to keep their species alive, they are not taking into consideration who is the "happiest" or who is enjoying life the most. They are working hard to stay alive, and only the fittest do. Just for comparison, you have ten times as many bacteria on your body than human cells. You said that once their goal (here, of surviving) is completed, it sends a positive feedback to the world. So we won't mind the fact the bacteria is the cause of bad smells, infections, and diseases. .. such a positive impact. This is only bacteria and only on a human body, so think of how much wider the gap is in all of life when we talk about all the kingdoms of organisms. (. http://www.sciencedaily.com...) "The world is one big restaurant. We humans are free to dine in a universe where we too could be the next meal from the appetite of viruses, parasites, cancer, and occasionally from lions, tigers, bears, etc. ""bon appetite! We humans are also part of nature and we embrace the "Natural Selection" process by breeding stocks of cattle, selective harvesting of crops, our choice of a mate, etc. " Thank you for your very true but irrelevant point. If in any case, this helps my stance that it truly is the survival of the fittest in our dog-eat-dog world. We are a fortunate species to be very fit and have an easier time keeping our population thriving, but viruses, parasites, and etc are (in many ways) more fit to sneak around and infect us all. In the end, it is all about which population stays alive. "We may view life's Unalienable Rights as a primeval bio-program throughout all living-systems, including social systems. That is, once alive, or a social entity comes into existence, there is a natural tendency during the struggle of survival to support, prolong, and improve "Life. " At the same time, there is an inherent drive to increase freedom ("Liberty"), with an ongoing effort to reduce and optimize the energy expended during "the pursuit of" an objective, while increasing and exploring new levels of positive-feedback ("Happiness" for us humans). A bio-program, having an organically persuasive, self-adjusting, fine-tuning algorithm throughout the flux of life's Unalienable Rights; encouraging life to take the path of least resistance, in the attempt to satisfy the pursuit of its objectives, to maintain survival, or search for new levels of positive-feedback. Life's Unalienable Rights refines and enhances our understanding of evolution and the Natural Selection Process compared to the narrow scope of "survival of the fittest. " This is a misunderstanding of the phrase "survival of the fittest," for it covers a much broader spectrum than you might think. This phrase is the overview of how life has evolved. To help you better understand, let's take a look at the root word, fit. To be fit means to be adapted, prepared (meaning for the environment), qualified, and in good condition/healthy. An organism that meets these standards is fit to reproduce and keep its species evolving. Not all species are concerned with their freedoms and pleasures in life. They are concerned about meeting these "fit" expectations to stay alive. (. http://dictionary.reference.com...) "Let's look at the evolution of a social-system. When two or more humans form a group, the group becomes alive as a separate entity with its own Unalienable Rights. The pursuit of group Happiness through goodwill and kindness leads to a mutual moral respect for the Unalienable Rights of all the members within the group. Goodwill is a conservative force that promotes order, stability, and harmony through the pursuit of group-wide positive feedback. Over time, group-wide positive feedback is the genesis of traditions, values, beliefs, language, etc. , the norms of society. These norms are tried and tested, and conservatively pass down from one generation to the next establishing its culture. A moral order guides an individual in the prudent exercise of judgment relative to those norms. The individual in a civil society strives, albeit imperfectly, to be virtuous; that is, restrained, ethical, and honorable, respecting and embracing the Unalienable Rights of others relative to those tested norms. " How are bacteria or protists or fungi worried about ethics when they are reproducing? How are they worried about who is happiest? I reinstate, survival is all about that competitive drive to keep your species alive. Without keeping the species alive, there is nothing to evolve. At the end of the day, when we are trying to keep the species reproduction going (in a scientific sense), we are not worried about ethics or happiness, but instead beating the odds and winning over mother nature. "Funny how many in the US, think they live in a free country. The price a nation pays for lack of moral education, for lack of understanding life's Unalienable Rights, for lack of understanding evolution in social-systems. " I will concede to the fact that your phrase more accurately portrays evolution of the law. There is no stance against that as the phrase was written for one of our country's most important law documents. But we have to look at evolution on a broader spectrum. While the unalienable rights may apply more accurately to law systems (law systems only pertain to a population of about eight billion people), survival of the fittest applies more accurately to all the other trillions of organisms that exist in the known world. My opponent's arguments have only constantly proved his misunderstanding of the phrase "survival of the fittest. " He still sees it as a harsh, narrow-minded idea, but in fact- survival of the fittest is a broad concept that fully, accurately portrays how species stay alive and keep evolving.
