S.S. made me a sad panda.
That video put me into a moody state for the rest of the day. The video of the reenactment of the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima was sad. This is just my opinion, but I disliked Harry Truman because of his decision of not just ONE, but TWO small cities in Japan. One was enough. If you were in the vicinity of the powerful white blast when the bomb activated, you were either vaporized or turned into carbon in less than a second. One moment you could be cleaning the kitchen, the next nanosecond you were nothing. POOF. Gone. Scary. Imagine become another vaporous element in a fraction of a second. You wouldn't feel that. At least it was quick and easy. Not painful. Babies, little toddlers learning to walk, young mothers... instantaneously gone.
And the radioactivity disease. The scientists who made the bomb didn't know the side effects! All they knew was that innocent citizens were gonna be vaporized! So even if you did survive, you got cancer. Good luck with that.
And they were gonna bomb Tokyo! But luckily then Japan surrendered and no more people had to be turned into carbon. Which would be really unnecessary.
I was watching those houses fall, with little schoolchildren in it... and this wasn't even a fluxing NATURAL DISASTER. This was HUMANKIND'S fault. We as HUMANS could have stopped all these deaths from happening. This was something we could control, not some spastic earthquake in the Pacific. We couldn't prevent that. We could have, however, prevented civilians from being rotted from the inside out. It makes me scared for the Earth.
Which leads me to my hypothetical conclusion: the human race is a little bit too destructive.
Now, don't get me wrong, I don't want to be a psychopath who wants to eliminate EVERY LAST person on Earth. Humankind HAS wiped out millions of animals and caused the extinction of many more. "And my theory is, the mosquitoes and all the other bugs we squashed because of how annoying they are will come back all big and stuff and ready to kill us, saying 'The human race is too dangerous! We must eliminate them!"
But it's not everyone. Some actually DESERVE to live. Others don't. Which is weird in ecosystem-atic terms. Because they can actually make their own species hate each other.
Humankind has to be the most complex society on Earth right now. It's strange when you think about that everything that we use in our everyday life, has been thought by human minds. Mathematics, language, even science...! Like, what if our scientific knowledge was just false, concluded because our limited minds could only think of it from just observing with our limited minds! What if science was only what we could understand? Like everything else, science may be another thing humankind has established. Apparently, our minds are really really really inventive.
Other animals do perfectly fine without this stuff. They coexist peacefully with each other; predator eats prey, predator eats other predator... it's a simple and good system. Everyone has a role in their environment. "The governmental environment," as a good friend would say. If WE would see a bear in our backyard, we would be like, "Get the HECK out!" *shoot*
Unless you love nature, modern humankind wouldn't probably get along with wild animals. A person that actually coexists with nature... I've never heard of it. Who would live in the wilderness with the animals. Become part of the food web, the top predator, eat prey, be naked... it's actually really hard to imagine a person like that.
And there's a flaw in there too: Humans cook their meat. A flaw of the human diet, rendering living in the wild harder. Wouldn't that me awesome if we could just eat it raw? We don't need an additional ingredient to actually eat without dying of some bacteria from your dripping piece of raw steak. But that's not what happens to carnivores in nature! They do perfectly fine eating raw stuff. Humankind's ancestors, before they learned to use fire, seemed to also be part of the food web: they would have to eat stuff raw since there wouldn't be a way to cook it. That's also another conclusion of mine: The human race's digestive/immune systems have kind of deteriorated.
We, as modern humans, would so not be able to access this kind of stuff with coexisting with nature. I call this the modern human food web:
1) Cows grow
2) We butcher cows on a faraway farm
3) We send it to Publix (haha)
4) We buy it and cook it and eat.
5) We grow vegetables
6) We ship them to Kroger (murder Kroger)
7) We buy it and cook it and eat. Yum!
Our ability to actually live in the natural food web of an ecosystem has kind of diminished. These days, you don't go out hunting in your own personal woods for food. That's what currency is for: to retrieve your food! No more needing to struggle in the woods with a rifle! Just go to your local Publix and get something! So people with no money just have to starve and die! But of course you could to the woods- WAIT, there ARE NO woods, remember, silly? You live in the freaking CITY, where are you gonna find some wild woods that you can sneak in with your rifle, huh? (Another flaw.)
Hehe. Just imagine the digestive systems of our evolved form! They probably have to eat meat OVERCOOKED. Yet they are gonna be like way smarter than us and have no hair (maybe a bit for eyebrows, like how our ancestors started becoming more hairless from the apes to this point). Eck. They'll probably have to live in sanitized plastic bubbles because they're germophobic and their skin becomes irritated when a germ lands on their skin. But you can't escape from GERMS! Haha!
