The Secret of Human Superiority: Socialization & Rulership

The Explanation Podcast

Socialization and Rulership. Why Humanity is Unique and Excels Animals

Humans are exceptional. We are incomparable when it comes to integrating society (socialization) or managing our own and others' lives (rulership).

A recent study was excited to announce that three crows can vocally count to four! After arduous training, the birds only succeeded in reaching four 40% of the time. Well, two to four-year-old kids can do that and so much more with simple teaching and succeed 100% of the time. Making the comparison that animals have the same intelligence as humans is ludicrous.

Why so? Humans possess a portion of God's Neshama, while animals do not (Joshua 11:14). This divine essence breathed into humans at Creation (Genesis 2:7) confers on humans their humanity. Neshama is the equivalent of consciousness through which God endows every human being with His Image via five of His characteristics. We've discussed purpose, conduct, and reasoning; In this chapter, we broach socialization and rulership

Rulership - Overseeing Oneself, People, and Possessions

Management is simply the human quality of overseeing one's life, including time, possessions, people, responsibilities, and anything else we are called on to oversee. Animal responsibilities are set by their species, and there's no deviation unless humans step in to alter that definitive path, like trying to teach crows to count.

With humans, at birth, we have no way of knowing what rulership path each person will carve out for themselves. Therein lies the responsibility of taking control of one's life, belongings and people with whom they will have interactions, no matter the level as employee or employer.
