The British Broadcasting news web site openly speaks of the reality of the right wing results in of current class structure.
The divide in the human race in this article is said in principle to be due to a over reliance on technology. However the tendency for like-minded to have children together plays a large factor in modern human sexual selection. People of similar intelligence, attractiveness and social standing are far more likely to have children together. This will therefore have its effect on future generations. Especially in the upper classes consisting of the greatest minority’s of people of the world and often composed of ‘intellectuals’ will see the greatest divergence in their biology in the coming centuries.

George Orwell's - 1984
I was in a book shop in Muswell Hill today and over heard a the employees, (among poorly explained warnings of a coming world economic superstate) a female employee was asking a male working at the till weather he has read 1984. She hasn't and has only seen a small part of the film and actually thinks its good. the attitude of the people working in the shop I want to work in, towards the books they're selling made me very angry while trying to read the forward to Asimov's robot series. so i have decided to write a little about it.
Nineteen-eighty-four is the classic dystopia scifi novel it encapsulates a love storey between to non-conformist lovers. In a socialist war torn future the the life style of the individuals life is dictated by Nazi regime and ever scrutinised by ever present cameras. A personal favourite touch of detail in the book is when a fictional manifesto of a revolutionary. The book includes some interesting concepts of mind control such as limiting the language of a people as to limit their capacity for though and population control facilitated by children trained to spy on their parents, much like the Nazi youth. This was a great book and is a classic for I reason would recommend it to anyone! A female friend of mine read it and greatly appreciated my recommendation (a very rare thing fro her I assure).
Today in East Finchley I also picked up a copy of Our Post Human Future by Francis Fukuyama, which in the opening paragraph parallels 1984 (published 1949) to Brave New World (published 1932). Fukuyama's book is mainly focused on the impact of biotechnology. however the dystopian world of 1984 is world in which there is propaganda and surveillance are the only weapons of the state. Set in world of ceaseless war to wain the over productivity of the worlds labour forces. Orwells 1984 is socialist world with no privacy, I think it was brave of him to speculate so close into the future. The book is also a beautiful romance novel is defiantly a must to readers.

A Hive Of Rats
The heterocephalus glaber is the only mammal to live is eusocial social group. Eusocial species like wasps and ants by definition are communities of including asexual workers that aid in rearing children. The evolutionary rout to such behavior confounded the Darwins vision of evolution. however modern gene selection theory now incorporates kin selection as the key influencing factor.
The naked mole is attracting scientific attention with a lifespan in captivity of 28.3 years (oldest of any rodent) the naked mole rat can greatly subsidize its metabolism and therefore has a great resistance to oxidative damage. They also have almost lack the ability to feel pain, its though this is an adaptation to cope with the lactic acid build up in the body due to high carbon-dioxide levels in poorly ventilated living conditions.
Hetercephalus glaber is also thought to be cancer resistant, so a lot of work is currently being invested in mapping their genome. The common eusocial social structure incorporating a signal breeding female, limited breeding males, workers and guard roles are all expressed in mole rat behavior. Sexual behaviors are controlled by hormonal messaging from the queen. However brian structure play its role, oxytocin and vessopressin receptors are situated in the same part of the brain as monogamous voles.
Imagine a human working population that was completely controlled in number, was resistance to pain and any harsh working conditions including cold temperatures and even radiation!

Throw Away Your Television
Its 2011, the world is set to end next year according various modern and ancient religions. The conspired reality of americas plutocracy and integration into the common wealth is of no real concern. In the sickening state of the depression that is caused by the inflation the privately owned banks of the west caused, we are still not hindered by the mass 'relocation' of worlds wealth to very same people responsible. Here in london, government cuts are making the living conditions and opportunities to the commoner ever more limited and awkward; soon to be unbearable
The title of the 2008 number one album 'Age Of The Understatement' by Last Of The Shadow Puppets for me, permeates the current mindset among the majority of people. They say don't believe everything you read, but it is common practice to make up your mind social matters by conforming with television. The biggest joke in this age of the understatement is that peripheral motives of government that can be inferred from the BBC and channel four news and other such television channels.
