Did you know that you are a real champion of champions - you beat hundreds of millions of others in a real race.

I have been researching human nature for the last 35 years as a hobby. I have built up a simple hypothesis on the cause of human nature. Most of my ideas have come from inferences and suppositions based on common sense. I have my own angle on many of the unsolved questions of philosophy, especially the mind sciences.Steven Pinker in his book, ‘How the Mind Works’, on page 462 poses a question, ‘Why do we make one big egg and lots of little sperm,instead of two equal blobs that coalesce like mercury?’ I have my own inference as follows:Mother Nature uses one big egg and hundreds of millions of tiny sperm for one simple reason and one reason alone—to ensure that every human that is conceived is a champion of champions, one so good that she/he is the best from hundreds of millions! The sperm race ensures that only a big winner is born and hundreds of millions of sperm ensure that the very best of the very best is born.In order to make this ingenious plan work the only practical way to make every human being a champion of champions was to make the sperm tiny. Imagine hundreds of millions of egg size sperm. The testicles would have to be much, much larger which among other things would be very inconvenient. The amount of energy and body material needed to produce this large quantity and egg size sperm would produce its own logistical problems and would be near impossible.. Even the pathwayfor the sperm to run through would have to be made much larger. So Mother Nature made the sperm tiny to create this perfect way to a human race of only champions.The important lesson here is that Mother Nature does not give us life/birth; She gives us a chance to be born. Every human being has to win the sperm race to get the gift of life. The big lesson here is that each one of us is responsible for our own life. Personal responsibility is far more important then we think.
