As the Bell Tolls..A Few Thoughts
Posted: Mon Jun 23, 2014 2:03 pm
the human species appear to be on its last legs. there was a time when such prospect was depressing to me, an unfortunate prospect I reasoned. not any more however.
now that is neither here nor there to. if humanity falters it is the result of wrong general decision(s) by he people of the world in their various nations and global combinations and associations... or unfortunate environmental coincidence..or a combination of both.
it is not a question of good or bad, wicked and evil. with whatever respect due to believers in god, religion..all those who live by faith there is nothing of the kind in existence..god, god and evil etc. there is only the world, the universe and how it works.
what we are about is discovery of this reality..the world/universe... and what about it we can apply successfully, to our own chances of indefinite survival, without creating effects/consequences, that can come back to destroy us. the human point then, our purpose, is to effectively answer the question: how does humanity survive indefinitely in an evolutionary universe.
humanity is simply a potential in nature actualized. there is absolutely nothing about humanity that makes us extraordinary and mysterious, a creation by something beyond quantification and great for being that, supreme..god! there is ordinary point and purpose every where in human existence for humanity..reason for our being. we argue why conscious..that there did not have to be consciousness, that we have consciousness and therefore we must be special..gifted by consciousness.
but energy is basic they claim..cannot be created or destroyed. yet when we look and find that energy is always in the form of some kind of matter..inseparable unless destroyed/separated for some human purpose. but when that purse is achieved energy once again assumes its form in some kind of mater.
the existence of matter is with energy and in constant motion. so if here is no consciousness there would be general collision in the universe and one giant blob of matter in motion..or whatever results from collision. the universe would be nothing like what we see. it would be totally incomprehensible.
so the simple purpose of consciousness is as we see..the purpose of universal function. so that the universe can go on about its own business..which I assume to be its own indefinite survival..a survival if which to this point we are a part..and originally arose form it.
to my mind all is simple..complex only in our original ignorance. once we solve problems that once were complex they become simple, child's play while we go on to the next complexity which we discover isn't complex at all but part of the functioning universal reality, which we johnny come-lately must understand in order to facilitate our own survival. and as the world/universe is alive, moving, happening according to its laws..a process we call evolution... nothing stays the same for any length of time making it impossible for us to know everything. et it is imperative that we go on seeking knowledge for to stop means certain extinction..as he universe produces effects which turn into cause and into effect endlessly..which will always present survival challenges for life that we must solve or die off.
stay fit or die ..and there-in we can detect the process of existential fitness on which our continued existence depends. if we do not see that and place before ourselves as basic the principles of survival that are natural then as there is no vacuum we place something before us that is basic. and if that is wrong they are some point it catches up and we are done.
we have placed god where nature must be. we have placed money, property, gold, wealth where the principles of nature must be. we live on a spinning ball in space the orbit of which to the sun and other planets in the suns orbit is not stable and we do not have many clues as yet as why we are where we are and how?
we have come to know that the orbits of the planets that are now consistent was not always so and that the system may be inherently unstable. if that is there are frames and consistencies and cycles we are not aware of. we know of the precession of the equinoxes as our major time cycle in use by humans. there is a longer cycle of 29 thousand years I have not see in use in routine social life. the precession is our Zodiac. but are there those outside our ken yet, in nature relevant to the movement of what used to be referred to as the heavenly bodies? and are there others even more obtuse and unknown..but which we must know of in order to have a chance to save ourselves from any danger they may mean to us.
we have placed before us as basis purpose in life nonsense, inaccuracies..greed and temporary things of no consequence relative to the conditions of human existence in the conditions. as a result we have arrived at a point of human extinction likely before our time and entirely as result of our own collective stupidity.
we have chosen to live by capitalism a form of social organization that is suicidal..a suicide that is almost complete. it will take at this point in time, only one simple miscalculation for us immolate ourselves in by nuclear fire, or biological weaponry..or chemical deluge..or miscalculation in the GMO food modification that would sterilize the species. already humanity is suffering from heavily falling fertility rates and no one appears to know why. at least they are not saying if they know
only social revolution can save humanity...a rise of the ordinary people of the world to take over society and impose the popular will on society. only real democracy can save humanity at this point..social organization that puts human survival on planet earth as first priority, the basis on which society functions..in substitution of the current purpose of wealth accumulation. wealth creation monopolized by a few is a death knell which is sounding loudly in our ears. we have to wake up hear and heed that warning for us to win any chance of going on
