"Infinity" by Leonard Zimmerman, MD. The country Truman is on planet #3 in another galaxy. The planet is an identical copy of Earth in our galaxy, and Truman has the same geography, atmosphere, water, people, and history as the U.S. Because Truman was headed for decline, much in the same way the U.S. appears to be now, the experts in Evolutionary Psychology decided to implement a comprehensive program to educate the populace in the understanding of how all human nature is the product of these principles.

"Infinity" by Leonard Zimmerman, MD. The country Truman is on planet #3 in another galaxy. The planet is an identical copy of Earth in our galaxy, and Truman has the same geography, atmosphere, water, people, and history as the U.S. Because Truman was headed for decline, much in the same way the U.S. appears to be now, the experts in Evolutionary Psychology decided to implement a comprehensive program to educate the populace in the understanding of how all human nature is the product of these principles. It was taught in the schools. They were successful, turning hatred and jealousy into kindness and altruistic thinking. The Golden Rule was resurrected and people followed it. People felt content and fulfilled. They were happy. The elders of Truman decided some mature, high functioning adults undergo a process to stop their aging process. It required an intergalactic journey. Max Brand was one who was chosen. His journey went awry and he ended up on Earth, 4000 years ago. He befriended and assisted Abraham. Because of previously unknown time-space anomaly, he eventually came to live in The U.S. during present times. MAX QUICKLY SAW THE U.S. WAS IN WORSE SHAPE THAN TRUMAN WAS BEFORE IT INSTITUTED ITS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM. This felt intolerable to him as knew if did not have to be that way. He sought psychiatric help. Jessie Genkins and Max Brand agreed to devote the rest of their lives to educating the population of the U.S. about how Evolution, properly understood, would explain, the ROOT CAUSES of our trouble. MAX went public. The media was captivated. He and Jessie attended many public forums for debate. They addressed most of the major issues, which without the benefit of Evolutionary understanding, were misleading people about causation of problems. Detailed, scientific but practical, explanations were provided how certain feelings, beliefs, and behavior were due to misunderstanding of what an evolutionary mechanism was "designed" to accomplish. THE MAJOR EVOLUTIONARY CONCEPTS PRESENTED AND DEBATED WERE: LOSS-The major emotions engendered sadness, depression, and anger-the evolutionary purpose -for it not to happen again-to preserve life. STEREOTYPING, PREDJUDICE, RACISM-evolution built pattern recognition to preserve life-people or things that had similar patterns helped a human to decide if something was safe or dangerous-we all do it-prejudge to stay alive, but we often prejudge unfairly-we need to know when we are doing it so as to act fairly. HEROES AND LEADERS-we are willing to give up autonomy to get a better benefit. We give those more educated or physically competent power over us so as to protect us and loved ones better than we would be able ourselves. ALTRUISM-GOOD WILL TOWARDS ALL-THE GOLDEN RULE-we have done best when we cooperate-if we are kind to others, they will likely be kind to us when we are in need. MORAL RULES TO LIVE BY-The evolutionary mechanisms in our brains let us know it is almost always better to cooperate, rather than be harmed or die. Compete fairly. POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY-do not be misled by the comfort of voting for someone who will simply protect what you have. It may be wiser to give up more than you might prefer, and to select one whose goal is fairness and what is best for society. GOD and INFINITY-They share a sense of awe, grace, perfection, and power but also of unknowability.
