THE GREAT APES AND CIVILIZATION - THE GREAT MAN THEORY OF HISTORY OVER TIME:
THE PREVALENCE in human history of chiefs, warlords, emperors, monarchs, nobles, presidents, leaders, and unfortunately dictators, tyrants, and Mafia dons, suggests forms of organization derived from those of Man's remote ancestors: APE SOCIETIES are controlled by the strongest, most violent, dominant males. Apes have a social hierarchy. We evolved from the Great Apes. EARLY HUMAN TRIBAL SYSTEMS similarly had a "chief": once again, the strongest, and most dominant. GREEK AND ROMAN CIVILIZATION were based upon individuality, and their ideal heroes, Odysseus and Aeneas (see "The Odyssey" of Homer and "The Aeneid" of Virgil), are depicted as fighting against incredible odds, each over a very long period of time, and as winning their fights. They epitomize the ideal "great men" of Greco-Roman Civilization! ODYSSEUS is termed "polutropos" (highly intelligent and resourceful; clever), in the first line of the Odyssey. A powerful intellect with which to fight is his most important trait! THE HEROIC DETERMINATION of Odysseus is best expressed by a line in Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem "Ulysses": "...to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield!" THE GREEKS AND ROMANS controlled the known world for more than a thousand years, and valued individual greatness. They knew what had enabled their success as civilizations. SUBSEQUENT CIVILIZATIONS have recognized "great men", both of the "non-criminal", and the "criminal" mind-types, in their own histories. THE SUBVERSIVE calling himself "Fearless Leader", thereby represents himself as a "great man" of the "criminal" mind-type, to his millions of criminal followers. The title implies that he is leading them in a dangerous fight against the rest of us! See "THE IDENTITY OF FEARLESS LEADER", under "home". See "TALKING WITH HITLER", under "home".
