Evolution and Simulation
Once a pupil asked me,
Seer, how is evolution related to the world of simulation?!
For a while, I stunned,
Words couldn’t be uttered from my mouth-
I was speechless,
For once I forgot who is who,
Who is the 'Sofia' here, and who is the 'Vladimir Solovyov',
But, then after a moment- I handled myself,
I asked, dear, how do you see evolution?
He paused, then I answered,
Evolution is not what we see, but what we feel-
In mass psychology,
In the nature,
In the ever changing climate- we change letter by letter like an ever evolving linguistics,
Just like the language flows-
Takes turn,
We are programed to adapt, but, from a source-
'The original', 'The real',
But, how do we link this with the philosophy of simulation and simulacra in the hyper real world-
Where everyone faces alienation-
From self,
From others,
From what they are- their essence,
Simulacra has also been evolved-
All the simulations are not anymore of any 'real constructs', but of, something unusual,
Based on- no reality,
Non partial truth but entirely on falsity,
But, the simulation feels real,
The 'simulated constructs' are for real-
Their presence is damn so real,
See the 'Bot Armies' in the virtual world- that is again a hyper real construct,
Information floating in the blue waves- informationless,
Constructs formed formless-
In a cyclical manner-
Round and round found in multiwaves!
Isn't this evolution of simulation?!
Don't you feel it?!
You are reacting on something unreal -
Creating simulacra out of nothing- nowhere,
But, that unreal is creating your very own reality,
Consuming the 'Real you' in a very unusual way,
Consuming your every minutes,
Every bits,
Every seconds,
Every pulse,
You are now an emulsifier of the invisible thread, binding with the non-binding facts,
Forced to get closure from nowhere,
Attacked from distant,
And, alienated from fact,
Though, you are in a rebound relation to become an active actant-
That's how you are becoming a 'social dwarf' in the 'social darwinism program' of the ever simulating worldly affairs!
What an evolution!
That's how narratives are controlled now-
They are created from the endless source of the large pool of 'nothingness '!

Special Note: I was teaching 'Baudrillard's philosophy' today, earlier taught social darwinism at Aeronautical Department, and one of my brilliant students who happens to be a flying officer, asked me a brilliant question, to my surprise, out of nowhere, he asked me, Ma'am can you relate Darwin's evolution with Baudrillard's Simulation?!
I was stunned, and gave a lecture on this entire class instantly. This poem captures the essence and synopses of what I said in the classroom.
Yes, it is true, brilliant students who are ever curious give birth to brilliant questions and prompt us to give brilliant answers. That's how I guess ideas are born, and philosophy can be philosophized through open dialogues! You can give it a read on this philosophically dense poem of mine linking 'Evolution and Simulation'! I think It's another unique synthesis of mine converging philosophy, psychology, biology and sociology,blending it into a poetic form! And, I think in this process, I have created a seed, a new theory!
