Yeah growing up from playing bad games to watching bad TV shows. It’s evolving, just backwards. (The type of media you entertain yourself with has nothing to do with age)
Humans won’t go extinct easily, for how many things we lived through and how many conditions we coped with, I don’t think nither climate change nor a third world war is enough for our extinction. LEMMiNO has an amazing video on this I recommend checking it out to see what I mean. Also u ok bro?
I don’t understand how anyone can say a statement as heartless as “humans are cancer”, but I shouldn’t be surprised because it’s within our nature to oversimplify, categorize, and put good and evil label on things. But the truth is that you can’t put a label on humans because we are too diverse for that. For as cruel and heartless humans can be, we can also be kind and forgiving. There are millions who dedicated their lives in helping others, and millions of forest rangers defending what you label as good. You know that life has existed on earth for 3 billion years, so what good did it do exactly? Creatures born and died one after the other and what good did they ever do? Also life wasn’t always stable on earth, there where 5 mass extincttions, and 5 ice ages long before we industrialized. It’s been a few hundred years at most since we’ve been a “cancer” to earth. If humans where gone things will continue as normal, stars shine until they fade without anyone to gaze at their beauty. Universe will turn dark without anything happening. I don’t think things will stay like this. Humans where hunter gatherers for ~288000 years but we grew out of it and learned to do better. I think the same will be true for war and injustice. We will grow out of these childish actions one day.
While I feel your fear, I don’t understand how people come to this conclusion or how this fear is created in them. If you look around you, at least 90% of the issues we suffer from everyday are caused by ourselves or other selfish people. War, climate change, poverty, violence and greed all are caused by humans with free will. I even wished these didnt had human causes because knowing there was no way it couldn’t happen could made enduring it a lot easier. I would say it’s more accurate to say that the universe is neutral instead of uncaring, because as dangerous space is, earth is a large and safe home for us and other creatures. Earth has the ozone layer that protects us from dangerous high enegry radiations, earth has a large magnetic field which protects us from most solar storms, earth has a thick atmosphere that protects us from 99.9999% of astroids. And it’s not just earth, Jupiter because of it’s immense gravity alters astroid paths away from earth. You can search about “Jupiter cosmic vacuum cleaner” to find more about this. While in the past earth’s surface has been devastated by cataclysmic events multiple times, life moved on, and dinosaurs lived for a million years before being wiped out. Maybe I misunderstood what people mean by “the universe”
I would like to know how did they came to the conclusion that the world problems is caused by nature and not other selfish people. Politicians who didn’t allow me to my country’s university because of my religious beliefs made this choice not because “the nature” forced them, or they somehow lacked free will. They may blame our flawed natures like greed but I would argue that we can choose not to listen to our emotions and desires. I can shallow my anger, and silence my pride which makes me an entity separate from it’s emotions. People can also change their mind if they choose, both in a positive and negative way.
Yeah I also get mad at this sometimes, but I always try to remind myself that even if a bad, influential person dies, another bad person takes their thrown by every dirty trick imaginable. This problem must be fixed from it’s roots, which is to be a good person and raise children who grow to be good and honorable people. Everyday not only think about yourself but also about others beyond your family and friends. Help anyone your hand reaches to and always prefer other’s benefit from yourself. I know not everyone can be like this but even if 60% of people where, the world would have been a much better place.
