I think you have to be one egocentric son of a bitch to think that human beings are any more disasterous to this earth than termites or moles.

Then call me egocentric! The idea of living in harmony with one's environment is a thought pretty much void in our culture. Termites help the decomposition of fallen or dead trees, moles till and aerate the ground and play a vital part in their ecosystem but to you they're a nuisance. Humans do not play a role in any ecosystem; no other animal is feeding on us, we're not giving anything back to the earth other than carbon dioxide and millions of expensive coffins to keep our bodies from returning after we're gone. We're a burden on a planet that supported life for millions upon millions of years before we ever showed up.
And I believe that when our race is finally extinct it will be due to lack of natural resources and deteriorating environment; we will likely have polluted the earth so badly that it will never be able to support life once we've killed ourselves off.

Animals, plants, fungi, insects, bacterium, etc. all have s symbiotic relationship with the greater organism (earth). These organisms facilitate proceses which are necessary for the living earth to function. This is mirrored in the human body where different types of good bacteria perfom essential functions that are required for human life. However, humanity is similar to cancer in the human body because we have become overgrown, and are impeding the function of the living organism. Other forms of life on earth don't seem to be doing that. Just like cancer slowly kills a person, so humanity is on a path to slowly kill the planet earth. That is, if the earth deosn't find a way to rid itself of the human infection.

In that sense, our solar system can be considered "alive" and earth is a planet that has been infected. To say that just intelligent life on earth is like cancer in a human (and not all life as we know it), is like saying that a gun is useless without a bullet - you can still bash someone in the face with a gun and kill them. Human life being the "bullet" and life itself being the "gun". Life technically "destroys" what it feeds off of - and what if it was the other way around, completely different, where every solar system contained life on every planet, but the stars explode after, say 1 year, destroying all life, is that cancerous? I'm rambling so someone correct me if i make no sense

It is "just intelligent life" that is infecting earth because we are no longer a part of the cycle and have broken out of the food chain. Therefore all we are doing is destroying with no benefits to anything but our own species. This is the same thing that cancer or an infection does in a body, while every other healthy organism is part of a system or cycle.

crackawebsta said:

I believe that we have broken out of a cycle. If we haven't, then what other form of life are we benefiting? We don't feed any other organisms all we do is consume them. We eat away and use up our environment without those actions being beneficial to anything but ourselves, just as cancer does to a body.

The food chain was once a food circle but humans broke it and straightened it out so that we were on top.

That's what comedians do. They are kind of modern day philosophers. Just like how they have stand-up philosophers in Rome in the History of the World.

Nope, ive done DMT many times, and not to take away from his experience, but i dont put much weight into what he says.

DMT > *, it will change your life, how you see things, and show you that what we see and where we live isnt the only reality out there.

Stand-up comedy is a great art through which one can express philosophical ideas because it's really the only time people will just sit and listen to you talk about whatever the hell you want. Music can also be used in that way but you can't just stand up on a stage with a microphone and be free to express yourself with no boundaries, you need to get your ideas across in melodies accompanied by musical instruments, lights, and other visual and audio distractions (screaming crowds,etc.)

Do you think the termites know the reason they eat dead trees? Do you think the mole knows that it is tilling the ground? I bet they are just following their instincts. In the same fashion, human beings are only following their instincts as well, but we really cant step back and see what our greater purpose is.

Humans can certainly come to understand enough about the workings of the universe to  reduce our negative impact to a more considerate amount and help other life forms in many ways. The main motivator for destruction is greed and they are greedy because they aren't tripping cause the little nubbly noobcakes are scared.

If drugs were free, like they were for the 40,000 years leading up to the last few centuries we'd all be happy enough to stop trying to rip eachother off all the time with our ingenuity.
