..HOMO-ITER: MAN-WALKER. PART II

In Part I we indicate, in a general way, how the human being has been abandoning the practice of walking throughout the last 10,000 years, having been, from the earliest times, a perfect walker in his characteristic of erectus and nomad.

We also said that the man of the future will perhaps be the HOMO-ITER (man walker), the one who will be more aware that he must now replace some means of transport, to return to transit on foot, and other activities that he develops while standing must begin to carry them out on foot, and others that are developed sitting, must develop standing  and / or walking (Post OTHER DEVICES TO READ AND WRITE, WHILE WE WALK and Post future OTHER DEVICES FOR WALKING).

In the graph we can see the evolution that the human being has had in his daily walk.

On the horizontal axis, the years are recorded on a historical horizon of 1.5 million years.

On the vertical axis, the averages that man has had the need to walk on land in feet / day are recorded.

The human being transited from nomadic to sedentary only 12,500 years ago, going from 11,500 to 500 feet/day.

From the point [-12,500] years, the different hominids walked an average of 11,500 feet daily, either to hunt and gather, or to move from one region to another to carry out those same activities but in new lands with better hunting possibilities and collection. They were 100% nomadic.

From this point on, they begin a sedentary lifestyle at a general level, as they begin to discover some activities that allow them to stay longer at each stop. Agriculture and livestock are beginning to take place, although not as we know them today; however, this keeps them at certain points and gradually reduces their desire (need) to be nomadic. In each period indicated in the graph, you can see how the average walk, from this point, decreases. We can see that towards the point [-2,500], 10,000 years after the sedentary lifestyle begins, the average daily walk is halved, at 5,750 feet/day. And towards the beginning of the Christian era the daily average becomes only 4,600 feet/day, that is, a reduction to 2/5 parts. The most serious thing is that the slope is constant and in only 14,500 years we have reached an average walk of only 500 feet/day, only in 1% of the time since we began to be sedentary with respect to the analyzed horizon, we have practically reached paralyze us, to be completely stationary. It is clearly seen that in the current era there is practically NO WALKING.

Keep in mind that the human body withers when it does not seek and does not find the way or path to walk, in the same way it happens to the waters that have no way out and do not move, they become a swamp.

The relevant cultural and technical aspects that we will have to observe in the near future, which on the one hand, will guide the human being towards the creation of the new HOMO ITER, and on the other, the opposing elements to achieve it, are the following:

1. How to start and prepare for the emancipation of transport that prevents us from walking.

2. How to support the new being in his walks, to eliminate sedentary lifestyle and other social and cultural conditions.

3. Because walking is a natural function (impulse, reflex, propensity, inclination) of the human being, and reading and writing are not, to provoke in the individual a passion in the 3 structured activities within the WALK -RWD system. Drawing has been a special and graphic way of writing (post OTHER DEVICES TO READ AND WRITE, WHILE WE WALK).

4. Since the time that the human being has been reading and writing is very short (approximately 5,000 years ago), support him with aspects that excite him in these activities. The human being has always carried out the activity of drawing.

5. Create simulators that respond to effective practice and specific objectives with the integral WALK-RWD system.

6. The HOME-OFFICE and similar and more revolutionary systems that would change a part of the work culture that has greatly favored the transport of individuals by themselves, to their workplace, although they have not been sufficiently effective and transcendent (practical and positive).

7. Memory and knowledge chips, which would completely transform the teaching-learning culture.

8. The tele-transportation of matter and information (physical and conceptual) that would put the human being on foot in serious trouble. An imminent reality that already began to have problems for several decades when they began to eliminate the texts printed on paper and other material means.

9. Hundreds of technological innovations that will displace human beings from the imperative convenience of walking.

The homo iter can be “built” just by implementing this WALK-RWD system.

Let’s see how we can do it.

The determining element that differentiates HOMO ITER from primitive man is the final “combined and integral” causality that is achieved, through the inter-acting and inter-combination process of the 3 structured activities within the WALK-RWD system, which will allow functional crucible and will show us the effectiveness of the combinatorial functioning of the 4 creative actions (walking, reading, writing and drawing). A functional acrisolar that will be affirming and showing the future HOMO ITER, the true and solid man of the future.

To do this, let’s briefly analyze the structured activities of the WALK-RWD system. When we read (store) and write (we extract and download), while we are walking, -when doing any of these 2 activities or the 2 simultaneously-, whether in notes or in texts, our mind receives information – during that process- through of the senses and that data does not receive them passively, but processes them, analyzing them, and makes them (composing and nuancing them) and, finally, recomposes them (organizes, integrates and hierarchies) , in such a way that these external stimuli transform them into images, that each of us forms them in a very particular and unrepeatable way (potential activity of drawing).

Now, let’s analyze a very relevant aspect: Will there be differences in behavior, attitude and direction (trajectory and course), for men and women, in this context? Have they been developing differently? In the future, will they tend to move and bifurcate in terms of their cultural and physiological predestination? Or will they choose common paths by joining a coupling to converge on the human being of the future? The man and the woman are the same! within their differences, and in this topic the specialties and their gender roles prevail according to the evolution of the different eras of humanity, and according to the regions of the planet; but … in the future … what will happen?

I think that, as has always happened, both parts of the human race will converge biunivocally towards this being that must be more balanced and less aggressive (destructive), that unifies and stands in solidarity with humanity.

Regarding the WALK-RWD system, we have already mentioned that we do not intend to teach reading in an INTENSE, INCESANT, or critical sense; neither to write synthesis, summaries or argued essays about the texts we read or become a famous writer. Through the activity of reading we intend only to arouse interest in it, in addition, understand and enjoy what is said in the text. We do not necessarily intend to be able to analyze the text, or interpret, examine, evaluate or obtain a conclusion, although anyone will be able to do it if they decide to do it. The task of achieving an interest in reading – and also in writing – is facilitated – in part – by the enormous variety that exists in the types of text: an essay, a book, a document, a poem, an aphorism, a newspaper, story, design, advertisement, graph, advertisement, mathematical or algebraic expression. This wide variety of categories that exists, allows us in a more effective and ductile way to get to have contact with these creative forms, in addition that, as we have already said, the read-write binomial, as we walk, causes both to be more pleasant, reading on its side, more dynamic, enriching and deep, and writing more practical, positive and true; undoubtedly achieving a “dynamic reader” and an “authentic writer”, as we already pointed out in post OTHER DEVICES TO READ AND WRITE, WHILE WE WALK.

Similar aspects can be said about drawing, either doing it independently of reading and writing activities, or in combination with any of them, while walking simultaneously. Recall what we already expressed in that same post: «Drawing implies the 2 activities of reading and writing, in a graphic way; that is, being a “dynamic reader” leads to being an “authentic writer”, but being an “expressive drawer” implies the two previous personalities, in a graphic way».

In other words, HOMO ITER will not be formed by the collection of fruits, the hunting of animals, not grazing, not pulling roots, as they did with HOMO ERECTUS, but reading, writing and drawing, in a structured way in and during the walk, sow during the walk. (future post HOMO-LECTOREM AND HOMO-ESCRIPTOREM)

As differentiated actions of each of these structured activities within the WALK-RWD system, we can suggest the following, in order to place ourselves in the generatrix, guideline and transcendent lines of HOMO ITER.

FOR THE READER

1. PREDILECTION OF THE TYPE OR GENDER OF READING. Self-analyze what types of text are your favorite and preference to read while walking. Select some and rank them in order of taste, interest, fun and education.

2. ENJOY TO READ AND ENJOY TO WALK. Analyze the level of satisfaction and fun daily by reading the chosen text, in relation to the desire to walk.

3. EVALUATION OF SATISFACTIONS. Evaluate during the walk the satisfaction that is received in both activities, of reading and walking.

4. We can move towards that future objective, consolidating certain evolved levels, since we will obtain the different benefits that we have indicated in post WHY READ AND WHAT FOR? which are synthetically: Various parts of the brain are stimulated, which have been slow or diminished by not using them; it facilitates and increases logical, psychological and imaginative constructions; reflection and understanding are increased; all mental capacities are increased, such as creativity, meditation, imagination, intelligence, inventiveness, memory, conceptual thinking, intuition; revives consciousness and invigorates the unconscious; it drives the fantasy imagination and the constructive imagination; increases attention and psychomotor response; Increase mental concentration and meditation.

5. Evaluate the degree obtained as a “dynamic reader”.

6. Evaluate how our organism has been favored in the broadest sense of the term (body, mind and spirit)

7. Point out and clearly define the obvious elements, according to point 4 above, that have favored our body.

8. Which have been, of those elements, the most effective and stimulating.

FOR THE WRITER

1. THE PURPOSE OF WRITING. Analyze the purpose of writing the chosen literary genre. Define the purpose(s)

2. SELECTION OF THE TOPIC OR IDEA TO WRITE. Analyze the reason for writing about a certain topic or idea.

3. RELATION TO PREVIOUS READINGS OR EXPERIENCES. Analyze and define if it has any relationship with any text that has been read long ago or recently, or with some drawings or graphic images.

4. ENJOY TO WRITE AND ENJOY TO WALK. Analyze daily the level of satisfaction and fun to write in relation to the desire to walk.

5. EVALUATION OF SATISFACTIONS. Evaluate during the walk the satisfaction received in both activities, writing and walking.

• Tone, language, style, used. Does the used combine with the purpose and the motive of the written?

• Difficulties in writing during the walk

• Difficulties for reading and understanding. Is it clearly understood?

6. We can move towards that future objective, consolidating certain evolved levels, since we will obtain the different benefits that we have indicated in post WHY AND WHAT TO WRITE FOR? which are synthetically: Various parts of the brain are stimulated, which have been slow or diminished by not using them; reflection is potentiated; consciousness is renewed and invigorates the unconscious; we essentially increase introspection; increases logical, psychological and imaginative constructions; all mental capacities are increased, such as creativity, imagination, inventiveness, memory, conceptual thinking, intuition; we promote states of consciousness at the time of writing; psychomotor attention is increased; the symbolic means of the unconscious and the symbolic images of the unconscious are promoted; in relation to the imagination, it develops the ability to revive mental images and increases the possibilities of combining images. It stimulates the imagination and the constructive fictitious.

7. Likewise, we can move towards that future objective, considering the purposes that we describe in a general way in post HABITUAL PURPOSES AND MOTIVES IN WRITING, which in a synthetic way they are: explain and describe; persuade; report; research; share; entertain and amuse; Get to know ourselves better. And with the indication of certain reasons, according to George Orwell, namely: acute selfishness; aesthetic enthusiasm; historical momentum; political purpose Noting that it was in us, to validate each of these purposes and motives, and that the really important thing is that we want to walk simultaneously with the activity of writing, when we feel the urge to do so.

8. Evaluate the degree obtained as “authentic writer”.

9. Evaluate how our organism has been favored in the broadest sense of the term (body, mind and spirit)

10. Clearly indicate and define the obvious elements, according to points 6 and 7 above, that have favored our body.

11. Which have been, of those elements, the most effective and stimulating.

FOR THE DRAWER

1. THE TYPES OF IMAGES. Analyze if they are pure images that come to mind or are words or a combination of the two, of words with graphic images. Do you perceive them graphically or linguistically?

2. RELATION OF THE IMAGES. Analyze if these graphic images are related to something that has been read or written long ago or recently.

3. ANALYSIS OF THE IMAGES. Analyze the relationship of graphic images with some personal emotional state.

4. ENJOY TO DRAW AND ENJOY TO WALK. Analyze daily the level of satisfaction and fun to draw in relation to the desire to walk.

5. EVALUATION OF SATISFACTIONS. Evaluate during the walk the satisfaction received in both activities, drawing and walking.

• Shapes, styles, extraordinary needs or difficulties in making the drawings.

• Problems that arise in drawing during the walk

• Difficulties in understanding and interpreting.

6. We will be able to advance towards that future objective, consolidating certain evolved levels, since we will be obtaining the different benefits that we have indicated in post WHY AND WHAT TO DRAW FOR? THE GREAT BENEFITS WHILE WALK, which synthetically are: Increases abstraction and mental relaxation; we get to know and understand ourselves better; it allows us to abstract ourselves in our unconscious interiority through fantasy and realistic imagination; invigorates the unconscious; We essentially increase introspection, voluntary and conscious awareness of ourselves; increase imaginary constructions; various sensory capacities are increased, such as creativity, imagination, inventiveness, etc .; consciousness processes are induced as retrospective acts; symbolic means of the unconscious are promoted, as well as symbolic images of it; in relation to the imagination, the ability to revive mental images and increase the possibilities of combining images is developed. Thus it stimulates the imaginative imagination and the constructive imagination; various parts of the brain are stimulated, which have been slow or diminished by not using them; some mental mechanisms, conscious and unconscious, are revitalized, leading to an improvement in health and various physical systems of the body and mind; psychomotor attention is increased.

7. Likewise, we can move towards that future objective, considering the purposes that we generally describe in the same post mentioned: Communicate and inform; announce and let know; illustrate and disseminate; teach and instruct; convince and persuade; express and reveal; guide and guide; explore and rehearse with symbologies; entertain and amuse, combining the previous purposes.

8. Evaluate the degree obtained as “expressive drawer”.

9. Evaluate how our organism has been favored in the broadest sense of the term (body, mind and spirit)

10. Clearly indicate and define the evident elements, according to points 6 and 7 above, that have favored our body.

11. Which of these elements have been the most effective and stimulating.

After having carried out any of these 3 activities while walking, you must evaluate the elapsed time and the distance traveled, and the physical, mental and abstraction-interest state that was experienced during the walk (while we were walking): And likewise, Let’s look for simple answers to: Do we feel tired, bored, abstracted, rested, distracted, enjoying, upset, happy, etc.?

Let’s start transforming ourselves into the new HOMO-ITER, man of the future.
