letra de that’s god - akira the don

so there’s a line in the new testament where christ says that no one comes to the father
except through him; which is a h-ll of a thing for anyone to say. i am the way and the
truth and the life, that’s another one. here’s the idea: it’s as if there is a spirit at the
bottom of things that is involved in the bringing to being of everything. people talk
about evolution as a random process but that’s not true. the mutations are random, but
the selection mechanisms are not random. what are the selection mechanisms? human
females are very s-xually selective, that’s why you have twice as many female
ancestors as male ancestors, so the male failure rate for reproduction is twice that of the
female. how is it that males succeed differentially? females reject. they rejected on the
basis of what? and the answer is, well something like competence. how is competence
defined? well men put themselves in hierarchies and they vote on each other’s
competence. let’s say you decide to follow the best leader in a battle, well then you
don’t die. like he might get all the women, but you don’t die. so at least you’re still in
the game, and it might be the same if you’re following the greatest hunter. and the
greatest hunter wouldn’t be the person who is best at bringing down game, it would be
the person who is best at bringing down the game and sharing it and organising the
next hunt and all of that. what that means to some degree is that there’s a spirit of
masculinity shaping the entire structure of human evolutionary history, that’s what that
means. it’s the spirit of positive masculinity that manifests itself across epochal ages
millions of years perhaps. and it actually has shaped our consciousness, actually. it’s
like the essential spirit of all the great men who defined what greatness const-tuted
that’s a spirit. well, that’s a purely biological explanation
well that’s god
god is the highest value in the hierarchy of values
that’s god
god is how we imaginatively and collectively represent the existence and action of
consciousness across time
that’s god
god is that which selects among men in the eternal hierarchy of men
that’s god
god is what is that which eternally dies and is reborn in the pursuit of higher being and
truth
but then there’s another possibility too which is that that’s actually reflective of a deeper
metaphysical reality that has to do with the nature of consciousness itself. i think that’s
true. i believe the biological case and i believe the biologically reductive case but i
don’t think that exhausts it, there’s a metaphysical layer underneath that that the biology
is a genuine reflection of. and that’s the macrocosm above and the microcosm below
we are really reflective, including in our consciousness, of something about the
structure of reality itself, and that might involve whatever it is that god is
well that’s god
god is the future to which we make sacrifices
that’s god
god is the voice of conscience
that’s god
god is the source of judgement and mercy and guilt
that’s god
god is what calls and what responds in the eternal call to adventure
