Scientific Research & Self-Development Activism
Hello to the person whoever decides to read this. This will be the pilot entry to my massive blog where I will be covering the endless failures of the human society, productivity and whatnot (okay, its not all failures but I will be talking about the bigger flaws and how they can be improved). And to make something clear, I may end talking about another topic entirely when I do branch out, but I'll try to avoid going from politics to nuclear reactions.
Today's Topic : Everything
To start off, what defines us? What makes us different from our "so called" ancestors? Well the truth of the fact is we are different, and by a LOT. For starters, we now dominate this planet. We still don't know our limitations but we do know how much more we are capable of. So being capable and all is good? Simple answer : NO. To compare the human civilization to an child, not older than 10. We are no more infants but we are learning, slowly but surely. But yet, we are learning from only mistakes since we don't have no previous experience. We have no "parents" to grow us. So we wage wars. We destroy each other, we deplete our planet and we make the life even worse to the generations to come.
So us being capable means that we think we know much and yet we know so little. To say in proportion we have had so little time on our planet. As one my teachers said "We have lived for about 200 000 years." You may think that is long right? She also added "Compare that to our sun or our planet, that is just a second for them." So all in all, we are as young as a child, foolish and still learning our limits tho we think we know our limits.
So we think we know what we are capable of and we use a lot of energy and materials. Guess what, we are slowly running out of the second. And if we run out of the second then the first wont be a reality anymore and then we will die as a race. Why? Well a) we are super dependent on energy (I'm mostly referring to electricity and fossil fuels) b) they are very, very limited at our current technology. There are possibilities for other energy resources (Cold fusion nuclear reactions, hydrogen fuel) but currently we are making our life easier. Searching technology to make our life easier but not making the development sustainable. Well at least in the long perspective we are screwing up, currently we are doing it "right", or so we think.
And when it comes to power, we are SO dependent on it. Picture your life without your TV, fridge, electricity, etc. And if one day we should suddenly lose it, we would be destroyed. Consider that we use the internet almost every day. We use it to get our news and we use it to "hold" our money (most of the world's money is held in banks electronically) and to a ton of other things. And then we lose it all, all of our money, all of our information. And everything is gone, in an instant, we are nothing again. You can say we have books? Yeah well, those are limited, and also using a resource that will end shortly if we put that into use so much.
So that was the technical power, now lets talk about the power in the human society (No conspiracy story, I promise just my thoughts). Let's start off with the pointless raged wars and the military technology. For some unknown reason the human race likes to wage wars, A LOT. From our earliest wars way back to the egyptian empires, to modern day wars like the cold war and the first and the second World War. We just like to have wars, we like to kill one and another, but why? Typically the human is lazy, very lazy. As we say, it is a survival instinct not to use that much energy. But when it comes to wars, we are like flies to the freshly killed corpse. We don't just kill our enemies, we take their land and claim it as our own. Why? Don't ask, none of us know why but we just like murdering one and another and taking anything we can from the one who died. Only now when we have acquired weapons that just require a push of a button and millions die we start seeing that full out wars are just stupid.
We still wage wars for somekind of "freedom" for ourselves or for other countries just because we can. Oh and making excuses for religion is BULLSHIT. Example is the al-Qaeda. Just because a bunch of morons, are blowing themselves up to reach somekind of god doesn't mean that the rest of it is bad. Of course there is a threat, but you shouldn't put a everyday person under the choice of "convert, or DIE". Is this the Protestant Reformation of the 21st century? Religion has been the number one excuse for wars or conflicts, period. The first, second and third crusade, the Iraq invasion, etc. Just a stupid excuse for "liberation". Luckly I ain't religious. I don't even think it is luck. I really think that people who have religion still have something to count on when shit goes down, but since i have lived through a ton of shit in my short 15 year life and i got no divine help I decided to live through it myself not to ask for a divine plea to come and save me. Still I have my way of "letting people do what the soul desires" since if you are living another persons life and you have no goals in your own personal life, you are a chain in the system and you have no soul.
"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." - A.Einstein
After that political nonsense (which ended me talking mostly about the wars) I will try and finish off this hellishly long post.
So all in all, we are building a tower to the next generation, it is a hellishly wonky tower but it is still a tower without an end. So they will have to continue, but how will they do that if they don't learn the skills to finish it. I'll keep the talk of our slowly falling school system for another time but just saying - it's failing
So if you have fully read this i congratulate you, you managed to read my whole story. There is more to come, most likely. Probably. Maybe. Most likely. Yeah, most likely. And I will be somehow covering some of these topics longer in future posts where I actually talk about certain topics not go on for hours and hours about everything in general. I'll get to Gaming sometime soon. Probably third or fourth post if i even get to it.
P.S. With my new LED monitor I have already saved 10412W and reduced 8142g of CO2 emission. Compared to what, I have no clue. I am such a future saver :D (Little by little thats how we probably will save this planet, or end it.)
