Humans a self-destructive end
Today's rant is something that came to me on the wings of ice tea-colored philosophy, which is like pot-colored philosophy, only more sugary. More like prozac-colored philosophy. "Needs more ice cream." - Homer.
Today's topic is humanity as the end of nature's creations. Duh...sure Ben. Enlighten us. And I will even if you are sarcastic! Because I enjoy acting like I know what I'm talking about! It's fun. Try it sometime.
Right, well, let's get down and dirty. Ah! Dirty is a pun here, because I thought of this whilst on a big pile of dirt that has replaced the football field near the junior high near my house. Separate rant for that. I REALLY need to talk about that.
Anyway, anyway. Enough jokes, ah ha ha ha. Now, here's the thing. Nature first "created" dirt. Yeah. Wasn't a very CLEVER invention, but it was there. Now, dirt formed in space, and accumulated into planets. Yeah, I know, skipping a few spaces here, but it ended up that way. That destroyed the dirt and rock as singular things. But it didn't destroy itself. So Nature needed something to destroy the dirt.
Water. Erodes it. Now, something to destroy water, right? Plants. Living things drink it. Now, something to destroy these little pond scummy things. Animals. Poof, right? Well...if you think of the poof as extended over a few millenia, sure. Well, my time incorrectness isn't the issue here.
So, see a pattern? Something to destroy the previous, because they'll overpopulate even with the number of themselves they destroy. Now! How about these semi-intelligent animals? They're not killing nearly enough of themselves, although they are nearly. Ack! Humans, incoming! Well, intelligent humans, semi-removed from animals...except at points relating to the opposite sex. Sometimes old habits are hard to shake.
Right, anyway. Humans destroy a helluva lot of everything, plants, animals, water, rock. And, as an added bonus, they add their own selves to this pile. Through a shot fired by themselves or a shot fired from someone else, or, in the case of America, a large inferno of burning death from above. Nature doesn't need anything else. Humans do the job of destruction pretty damned well.
But, seems like Nature bit off a bit more than it can chew. Humans destroy TOO well. Still, they are the final accident of nature, and the final creation. A bit of a grim view on things? I'm a grim person. Admittedly. It's true if you think about it, though. What's the point of proving this? What's the point of proving anything? It's just a bunch of words.
Words are the elimination of possibility.
Thank you for your time. Ciao.
