Brain Wave #27: The end is any time

Brain Wave #27: The end is any time

Just gonna straight up jump into this: we all know that the planet could literally be demolished any second, due to our own actions obviously. 

I've been thinking about this for quite some time I'm not gonna lie, isn't it just crazy that us as human beings were able to create so many sorts of sophisticated weapons? And we could literally talk about any sorts of weapon that monkeys didn't make, because I'm pretty sure they can also throw rocks and make basic spears and shit. But think about this: as we evolved and shit we were quite literally able to extract solid ass chemical compounds that we somehow managed to malleate into something that would help us to survive...survive against what?! Fucking massive buffalos and bears who tried to eat us, because y'know we're kinda stealing their food. Holy shit humans were really eager to evolve I guess (why that is would actually be an even more interesting topic of discussion). I just now went off to read a Reddit thread about what I just said, we developed intelligence as means of "adaptation" (definitely find this interesting). But anyways, I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one to ponder about this, but there definitely was no reason for us to create sharp ass weapons which at this point in history are basically able to swiftly kill other humans. Because y'know, we're intelligent and conscious for a reason (?). But let's fast forward a bit to get what I'd like to talk about, firearms: over centuries we just able to fire off objects from a weapon at speeds that we can't really comprehend if related to our body mechanics, I still think that something like a bullet going at 120ms^-1 is something that we use on a day to day basis. And I mean, with "we" it's mostly the Americans, but you get my point. As mentioned before, we're able to surpass the physics that limits our body in combat to just fire off an object that again, can literally kill another human. Long story short, a bunch of chemical reactions can do the impossible, or at least compared to what we can do ourselves.
And again, us humans just decided to take this direction in evolution, because y'know that's how intelligence evolves...

Obviously you fast forward to nowadays and we got all sorts of shit, and as mentioned at the beginning we are able to do the worst of shits to everyone living on the planet, especially being able to have the freedom to do it any time. Just sit down and think about it for a minute.

Also, I'm clearly not comparing myself to Oppenheimer, but y'know you do sort of realise that we're basically putting the matters of life and death in our own hands, which in my opinion shouldn't be the case, they should be consequences of the nature we live in, but what can you say?
Another thing is: again with nukes and shit we're literally going further into the realm of "unnatural" making sure that we can cause maximum destruction by something artificial, and obviously Oppenheimer was more mature than me to understand the sheer effects of such thing he created, how inhumane and absurd it is as a weapon, compared to whatever we made as humans, and we're surrounded on the planet.

I might've completely forgot half of the things I wanted to talk about in the last paragraph, but you kinda get it, right?

One last thing I wanted to talk about, sort of related I guess (sort of not as I just thought about this yesterday): we evolved to be the "only" species that is interested in other living creatures. Now, I say "only" and with that I mean outside the realm of survival and maybe there are some animals out there who maybe aren't "bird watching" like we are, but definitely in their diversly evolved brain they store and process knowledge on animals and plants. I think. But getting on what I wanted to talk about, we evolved into interacting with other living creatures in many ways that "they" don't do within themselves, for example: we hold pets, we grow our own plants, we are very much interested in how nature around us evolves basically. The whole point of me wondering this is basically wondering why. And you reading this shit obviously know that I don't have all the answers. Matter of fact why the fuck are you still reading this? Go fucking ask Chat-GPT you peanut brain! (pls stay I need views :P)
 I mean obviously I'm gonna answer that it's part of human evolution and our development of consciousness, of course we go out there trying to find out why we're alive and why we came to be in this world and why we exist among these creatures and if we're alone in the universe and why we think the way we do (again just convince yourself I got poetic licence). And I mean studying the world around us has always been at the centre of developing human knowledge and shit (or at least I hope so), but I also really wonder if other living creatures do somethings similar. I remember watching somewhere that apples change colour to tell birds when it's ok to eat them or some shit, but again that's survival stuff, I wonder if there are animals that are subconsciously curious or something, obviously it would be different to whatever humans have because of the difference in self-awareness. But imagine like a crow, which has like a brain comparable to one of a 7 year old, that animal ought to have some sort of thoughts of if its own, but we just can't comprehend it because our brains work differently, which is why we "bird watch". See what I did there? It all circles back. But yeah, my point is: I bet that human curiosity towards nature has to have some deeper layer that we can't really see, involving how our brains work differently to others, and vice versa.

I know that I said a whole bunch of stuff that can be perceived quite obvious and banal at first, but in my opinion it's stuff to think about for a bit and realise that there is much more behind it than we think.

Good bai for now, poposwag.
