Abstract: the ‘Obesity Epidemic’ is part of a global extinction event that skews our reality and its solution is presented based on state of mind, nutrition and exercise. The Palaeolithic Diet Test aligns our modern reality with the reality of the digestive system and allows reprogramming of the ‘death gene’ of evolution, leading to an extended lifetime and ‘Selection of the Best’.

 

The ‘Obesity Epidemic’ is the fact that the ‘developed’ world contains an adult population where 60% of that population is overweight or obese. A ‘solution’ is required that will return this 60% to a normal weight and save the country massive amounts of money in health care, and the obese can go back to work. Is this a possible solution? I doubt that a full solution is possible, but a partial solution can, I believe, be attained from the following. I think that we are seeing a fundamental shift in reality that is causing a worldwide extinction event in the fauna and flora of the world caused by over-population of humans. At the same time, our lack of control and knowledge of the extinction event is causing the ‘Obesity Epidemic’.

 

There is a solution contained in this book and in this chapter, but how many people will heed its message, and for those that are obese and overweight the road is harder, but not impossible, if they have the determination to succeed. The ultimate solution is to return to a normal weight, and to reverse the ‘death gene’ and greatly extend life and our useful years, limit population etc. I believe that this is possible because I am over 70 years old, have a hyperactive young dance partner and Rock’n’Roll most of a couple of nights a week, work for exercise a couple of hours a day and I’m writing this book and have no aches and pains. I believe that, for the moment, I have conquered the ‘death gene’, but of course I am still aging slowly.

 

The only way to manage the results of over-population is to understand the mathematics of the concepts that drive populations and these have been developed throughout this book. At the same time management must occur and this can be done using proven evolutionary methods and the mechanics are in place in the form of the government, police and judiciary that form a worldwide religion/reality with all endeavouring to the same result using essentially similar methods, and I might add, satisfying the conditions of reality, see chapter 37.

 

Evolution required iteration and Survival of the Fittest supplied it for 3,000 million years and the hunter/gatherer of the Palaeolithic resulted, but this evolution required the ‘death gene’ to make evolution ‘work’. There was no ‘better’ way, because the Rule of Life showed that it was the ‘best’ way because that was the way it eventuated and that required the older females to be more prone to predation than the younger breeders. This was necessary because mutations in the females’ eggs increase with age and older members would have become more successful at surviving and thus, breeding would have suffered.

 

This organizational necessity I have called the ‘death gene’ for simplicity and is required if evolution is to be successful. Componentization is fundamental together with iteration (part of the first Law of Life) and is shown by the structure of the atom and within survival of the fittest, and allows muscles to strengthen as needed for survival. The converse (sarcopaenia) weakens older members by selecting for (mental and physical) laziness, chapters 50 and 51. This is the mechanism of the ‘death gene’, and it can be turned around.

 

The Palaeolithic hunter/gatherer is the reality of the body’s digestive system and an attempt to relate that reality to the modern reality of the brain, body and modern foods required the Palaeolithic Diet Test in chapter 52 to try to bridge the gap and bring health back to people. This is an attempt to provide a reality ‘bridge’ so that modern people can gain an insight of how they are eating compared to how they should be eating. The test is extremely simple, but the fact of measurement brings or includes recognition of a means of assessing our food intake as against what the digestive tract requires, and is a bringing together of the two realities. To restate that, our mind is plastic and the physical environment is still within the capabilities of our body (composed of components), but we are seeing that the digestive system has reached its limits because food has changed over the last 10,000 years. This problem is showing up as the modern ‘diseases’.

 

However we have seen that we need the second Law of Life to define our interaction with the environment, and that requires state of mind, nutrition and exercise, both physically and mentally. This ‘law’ is a ‘steady state’ for a given reality and the basic problem is that reality has changed, so we have to take that into account. The body’s digestive system’s reality is the Palaeolithic, whilst the mind, body and the environment has a modern reality. The basic difference between the two, involves a change from Survival of the Fittest based on iteration to the Survival of the Best using the mind/brain.

 

Three main factors are at work here. Firstly, the disparity between what the digestive system can handle, because the design is hundreds of millions of years old and can’t handle modern foods that we have developed for efficiency of production and to make money. Secondly, the ‘death gene’ is a selection of ‘laziness’ over hundreds of millions of years to make us slow down as we age. The third factor is the movement from taking the existing environment/reality (Survival of the Fittest/iteration) to ‘forming’ the environment to suit us (Survival of the Best/mind/brain).

 

The Mathematics of the Mind keeps these attractors separate and we move between them comparing and selecting and it should be remembered that the answer that we derive is an iteration and moving towards a ‘limit’. It is a mathematics of concepts and has to be this way, as shown previously. This mathematics is general and our mind/brain uses it, as would be expected by the Rule of Life. In fact, the problems caused by technology are because mathematics was used, and mathematics is exact and is not well suited to the social sciences and this mathematics has led us into problems.

 

We are in the midst of a ‘mass extinction event’ brought about by a reality change from Survival of the Fittest to Survival of the Best and a mass extinction means that those organisms within the new reality expand and take over from those locked into the old reality. Obviously, man expands and the animals are wiped out because we need their living space, and/or we use them as food, but the ‘obesity epidemic’ is showing that some of the humans are succumbing to the reality change also. Within an extinction event, a lot of individuals succumb, and it is naive to expect that things will work out as we hope. We need tools such as the Mathematics of the Mind to see where we are going so that we can control events.

 

Extinction events occur, for various reasons and the Cambrian appears to be a ‘reality event’ similar to that which we are experiencing at the moment. The Cambrian was a period of rapid change, probably through the appearance of (lensed) sight and the creation of a mind/brain, see earlier. The present extinction is the application of the mind/brain to create technology without understanding the forces that were being un-leashed because mathematics was used that is a special case of the Mathematics of the Mind.

 

If we use the Mathematics of the Mind, we may be able to control how it turns out, but, if we allow Survival of the Fittest, there is fighting and death. However, Survival of the Best will happen because it is the natural result of both Survival of the Fittest (iteration) and Survival of the Best (mind/brain), and they are both based on iteration. One requires predation, the other planning. Predation is death, but Selection of the Best uses evolution and the Rule of Life to affect birth. Preventing death and suffering is something that modern people prefer to see and vast amounts of resources are spent on keeping people alive. The only humane way is to control births and this has been considered previously.

 

Those people that want to help everyone are wasting their direction, and thus their time. This is an extinction event and the only thing that can be done is tell it as it is and if they, whether obese, over-weight or normal, don’t take note, they fall by the wayside and leave the ‘best’ to carry on. A certain number of individuals and species are left after an extinction event, but surely we can manage this current event without irreversibly changing the world and the animals that evolved with us. Solving this problem is what this book is about.

 

Conclusion: the control of this extinction event is there in government, police and judiciary in each country throughout the world, and these form a world-wide religion/reality. There are currently 53 chapters in this book that are freely available, and somewhere, sometime, it will be realized that it will be this way or anarchy will reign. I predict that environmental groups will start the ‘ball’ rolling and women will take control of evolution as they have always done. That is their job, and personality/mental health of children and future citizens depend on home-life, as mentioned before, upbringing is the ‘key’ to stable sensible citizens.
