“Every day that you choose inclusivity over segregation, you redirect evolution.” ― Abhijit Naskar, Sonnets From The Mountaintop
“Every day that you choose inclusivity over segregation, you actively redirect evolution from a human-looking species to human species.
Grown adults never try to fit into childhood clothes, then why should grown humans try to fit into tribal customs!”
― Abhijit Naskar, Sonnets From The Mountaintop
Scottie's Playtime 
Metis is best ~ It has long been known that to obtain the best crops the farmer should not seed with the seeds grown in his own fields, but with seed brought from afar. The strain of domestic animals seems always improved by imported stock, even poultry-breeders finding it best to sell the male birds they raise and supply their places with cocks brought from a distance. Whether or not the same law holds true with regard to the physical part of man, it is certain that the admixture of peoples produces stimulating mental effects. Prejudices are warn down, wits are sharpened, language enriched, habits and customs brought to the test of comparison and new ideas enkindled. The most progressive peoples, if not always of mixed blood, have always been the peoples who came most in contact with and learned most from others. From Henry George’s Protection or Free Trade, 1940.

It makes perfect sense, both for animals, plants, and humans. Breeding back into the group, in any form, means eventually the herd will weaken and die out. It becomes the equivalent of inbreeding in Royal Families. Sooner or later you end up with some very strange looking creatures.
And using fresh ‘breeding stock’ or seed from other places works perfectly. Mercifully we do learn from our mistakes. Most of the time.

Thank you for gracing us with this! Plus it goes with the post, of course. But I remember reading your post commemorating Bad Attitudes, and was sorry I’d missed it. Also, exactly what I’ve understood about good practice in creating things.
I enjoy Abhijit Naskar’s poetry; he makes points succinctly but still musically.
