Primitive – At this primitive level, there can be nothing but the ethics of self-interest. Ethics says that one should follow the dictates of conscience. But for the primitive, the dictates of conscience are exactly what interests him.
The PRIMITIVE is strong and ignorant, seeks to supply the lack of intelligence with brutality; he is so naive that he believes it is possible to win with force.
The PRIMITIVE is quick in his decisions because he thinks little and acts a lot.
The more the being is PRIMITIVE, the less is the patrimony of ideas it has to guide itself and solve the cases of its life. So your problems of consciousness are very simple.
