PART 2
A
STONED SUNDAY
RAP
CHARLES: I want to talk about evolution because Iâve been thinking about it and Iâve been trying to do it and I think Iâve been seeing it everywhere.
JERRY: Yeah.
CHARLES: I want to compare notes on whether Iâm seeing it or making it up.
JERRY: Well, I hope Iâm seeing it but I might be making it up too. Oh, somebody said something to me about evolution. O yeah, we were into one of those raps about, you know, poisoned air and pollution and the concerns of the material survival unit or whatever the hell it is, and Dave Parker at the office said something about that whole Darwinian evolution thing, you know, that a species makes an evolutionary change because of some peril or some weirdness in the food cycle, you know, but it has to be a real thing for a change to occur and it's like if the stuff that they say is going on in the world is real, then it's time for a real change to happen, you know, and the only place for it to happen is the consciousness thing.
CHARLES: Well, for example, men are getting less competitive.
JERRY: Right.
CHARLES: That's because it doesn't serve any social purpose for people to be so competitive anymore.
JERRY: Right.
CHARLES: Maybe it did fifty years agoâhad to fight with animals and Indiansâbut it doesn't make any sense now.
JERRY: I don'tâyah rightâI don't thinkâyeah rightâwell I think there's that moving into a cooperative functioning Gestalt group thing which is the survival unit rather than the basic human, you know what I mean . . . but it's hard to say whether you can see that happening or whether it's happening but the percentages are now . . . it's always been happening in some percentage margin but now because the numbers are great and communication is high that percentage is more easily visible and whether or not, you know, which of those is true is anybody's guess, itâll take fifty years to see.
CHARLES: Tell you something I'd do is, I'd watch kids play ball like outside a school or something.
JERRY: There you go.
CHARLES: And Iâm convinced that theyâre nicer to each other and they care less about winning than they used to.
JERRY: Yeah.
CHARLES: Iâve watched that in a lot of places around California.
JERRY: Right, now where does that come from? Why would the kids do that? Is it because of what they see on TV?
CHARLES: No, TV is just a reflection.
JERRY: But it's a feedback situation too.
CHARLES: Yeah.
JERRY: So that it tends to reinforce anything that happens.
CHARLES: Well . . .
JERRY: Well, see, I don't know for sure.
CHARLES: I think it's got to be because there's nothing good to be gained by being so fiercely competitive, being the Wild Cats or something.
JERRY: Right, right, right. That's true, that's true. It doesn't work out too good.
CHARLES: And also because it's so much better to get good things off of people than get bad things off of people and people are waking up to it.
