Evolve and Mutate, Adapt or Die
It is said that homo sapien creatures on Earth, better known as humans, have only used 10 percent of their brain capacity.
However, many studies show that the human brain actually works optimally, even when asleep.
However, only by utilizing 10 percent of brain capacity can humans evolve and dominate the earth, without exception.
Not only is this ability used to adapt to living in the surrounding environment, this ability is also the basis for carrying out daily activities.
Starting from the theory of primate evolution to primitive humans in ancient times with the ability to survive in the wild, to modern humans who were able to build civilization.
From just a production activity collecting food, to being able to create social constructions, beliefs and societal values called norms and rules.
One after another the wheel turns, life always moves dynamically and there is continuous repetition in human life, whether it is called fate or the path of destiny.
The key to adaptation and self-development for every human being is something that is absolute in responding to every rapid change over a period of time.
From the old school generation of parents who feel cool in cutbray trousers hanging out in coffee shops, to the millennial generation who feel the edgiest when they hang out in social coffee shops.
Mutating in style and mindset is a necessity if you don’t want to be run over by the times or be said to be behind. Being important no longer matters, replaced by the importance of being many (and massive).
Replicating existing trends or finding new innovations becomes common and common without having to feel limited by taboos and traditions.
As humans develop, adaptation becomes faster with the presence of technology that is always changing, moving increasingly ahead until it breaks the limits of needs.
Deception that is debilitating or a weapon for human welfare? In the end, being wise is a rare item in responding to changes that are born from 10 percent of the human brain’s capacity.
