Efficiency 2

Efficiency is how the human race has always survived. It might not always be pretty but without ever increasing efficiency, individuals and groups die off and go away. In the end only those who survive to breed and assure not only the survival of their children but also assure their health and education tend to survive and to persevere here on earth down through the centuries.

So, in the end it is a combination of all the little innovations people figure out and then teach to their children ongoing that make a real difference in efficiency in the long run. It is also important to teach each successive generation why something is important, why efficiency is so important but also that without a heart and compassion none of it is worth living anyway. So it is always a balance of teaching efficiency in everything while also demonstrating and teaching kindness and compassion. Otherwise there is no real reason that I can see to be alive.
