Ishmael Chapter 12

The chapter twelve of the book is a chapter where Ishmael mostly specifies on teaching the man that the taker premise is that they are the final chapter of evolution, that the world was created for man, man does not need the gods to live . The other side of the story, the leavers, is that man was created for the world, to them evolution has not stopped and will not stop as long as they live in the hands of the gods. They depend on the gods to eat, to drink, and to live. In that chapter he says an outline about the evolution of man, and that homo sapiens sapiens evolved into takers, but still there are some leavers around the world, some know about the dangers they are facing of earth destruction, and the worse to them is that they didn't do anything to deserve, didn't take part in the act of destruction. There are others who don't even know what is going on. Ishmael said that you can't stop enacting a story, you need to be in another one, and that is what takes should do if they want to save the world. They know they are taking it to destruction, but they don't want to stop, because destroying it bring many riches to the ones destroying it, like money. Takers depend on money to live, because it is what buys them food, what buys them a home, clothing. Leavers don't need of money to have these. Takers are obsessed with new, expensive technology, new things, discoveries. Leavers are simple, use fire, spears, hunt their own food. Takers need machines to live, to make them breakfast, to take them from place to place, to talk to one another, while leavers just walk, ride horses, cook all by hand, caught by them. It is true that by staying in the simple, the leavers can't have as many privileges as takers do, like great varieties of foods, less work, having ways to entertain themselves like sports, hobbies and many other things, but by staying simple the leavers are almost exempt of many of the worst things there are, like diseases, such as AIDS, other STD's, malaria, and other sickness that were created by takers and spread out by them as well.
