Human hierarchy, behavior and evolution
I have written this post as a response to this post on this link

Evolution, hierarchy, behavior and limits of thinking
What can I say more? Only , you are right; there is unfortunately a huge number of people who succeeded in getting a position of a professor etc, and being so equipped with authority of their function they do not hesitate to provided us, „stupid non-professors“ and “no function chair” individuals with stupid information. The problem is, sometimes they really do believe the nonsense they are producing.
On my blog I have already wrote about several professors like this one. One saying that animals cannot imitate, the other one saying that music was extremely important in the evolution of humans (would be nice to see a chimp composing some kind of easy music), (it was not music but it was sound and noise).
Very often professors get caught in their attempts to make “super” “perfect” definitions at the very beginning of some kind of study, like memetics. Memetics is a good science, now nearly abandoned, just because o f extremely stupid definitions provided by some professors. These professors were not willing to accept the idea of joining memetics with semiotics and thus killing memetics completely.
There are thousands of such examples in our short history, just think of Galileo, or of global warming being caused by CO2 nonsense. There were always people trying to mislead the other people in order to gain some kind of advantage: it is evolution. Another good example is marriage swindler, pretending something so well that women get caught. And now think of our politicians, all over the world, basically, they do the same. So it is no only professors, these are people who want to get high in the hierarchy of human society whatever it may cost. These are, from evolutionary point of view, “normal” people, because they go for their benefit.
People who try to help others are actually, from the evolutionary point of view” far from being normal, as they do not try to get some evolutionary advantage for themselves. It could be that these people are higher developed in evolution, trying to help the whole instead trying to get their own benefit secured.
