Chapter 40: Earth, Termites, and Man
It has been said that the earthlings of the time generally became so aggressive that they forgot that their relationship with rest as a human animal may have something to do with some changes in the interior of the earth. This theory is that there is some kind of change in the interior of the earth, similar to the core of the fire star, perhaps because her core is slowly getting colder, and the magnetic field is slowly shifting and weakening, so that the consciousness and emotions of the people living on her have also undergone some kind of change, which has led to a terrible thermonuclear war......
Let's just say that this statement is correct, if you anthropomorphize it here, this is the hypothesis of some inextricable entanglement of consciousness between the little sister of the earth and humans, thinking that the earth will have a negative feeling about human beings because of various human behaviors, so she deliberately lowered her enthusiasm for human beings and tried to push them to a dead end...... This is simply impossible, since it is anthropomorphic, you can look at it from a person's point of view, if you have worked hard to cultivate one of the most intelligent creatures in history, these guys may not behave as well as they should, but if the earth really cares about human behavior, and can have a similar effect on people's hearts as mentioned above, then she should make herself warm, make the magnetic field strong, and unite people instead of fighting, because according to the above logic, the development time of human beings is very short, I can't see where they're going, so I don't care about them. Dinosaurs have been arrogant for 160 million years, and the little sister of the earth can endure it, but humans can't stand it in just a few days? From the emergence of real large-scale human civilization to the tens of thousands of years that are now numbered, it doesn't matter if you are arrogant for 159.9 million years, what can you do? Can you still blow up the earth?
This leads to the question of consciousness, whether a planet like the Earth is conscious? You know, in this part of the solar system, the earth is not as unique as imagined, she is the leftovers of the leftovers, after the formation of the sun, when the surrounding garbage is cleared, some leftovers are pushed away from him, which has the opportunity to form various planets. Jupiter is the first big guy, the first to form is this big brother, he is two and a half times heavier than the other planets combined, he has a big head, and the remaining corners and corners will form Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, and finally the few things left in the inner circle of the solar system form the four big planets of the inner solar system. Of course, at the beginning, there were not four, but countless slags, which were constantly impacted and fused, such as the famous Tiamat impact, which occurred during this tectonic period. The earth was no different from Venus and Mars in the first years, except for Mercury, it is said that this guy could have formed a planet as big as the earth, but the Jupiter boss didn't do it, he rubbed into the inner solar system step by step, Mercury was scared at a glance, and was pushed to slip in desperately, but before the construction was completed, she slipped a little too close and had no chance to develop. The largest asteroid in the asteroid belt is called Ceres, and if Mercury hadn't slipped away so fast, she should have a chance to merge with Ceres and make a big planet come out - but Jupiter's big brother doesn't do anything, and it's useless for you to say anything. Venus and Mars have not always been the way they are now, some people think that these two planets were originally exactly the same as the earth, and when Saturn's second brother stabilized Jupiter's orbit, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and began to develop obscenely, the three planets of gold, earth and fire all went the same way, the earth's crust began to cool, the interior began to structure, the star core condensed, and the excess water ice and gas elements were released into the air to form an atmosphere - water is not as scarce as human imagination, and there are some on each planet, Venus and Mars once had huge oceans, no different from Earth. Then, after the basic structure was completed, the three young ladies began to show their respective personalities and embarked on different paths. Venus is said to have been so hot that the heat dissipation system could not keep up, causing a large-scale greenhouse effect, which evaporated all the water on her surface into the atmosphere, and her internal circulation had problems, only steaming up and not down, so it became what it is now. Mars is another story, people say that her gravitational and magnetic fields are too small to retain the moisture on the surface, and they are dried by the ruthless Daddy Sun, so the Earth is left alone.
……
It's a bit speechless, but it's all nonsense, and we can use some analogies to make it clear. Do people understand the various behaviors of termites? Are termites conscious? If the size of termites is made to be as large as a human, then each termite nest is the masterpiece of skilled craftsmen, and its structure is as beautiful and exquisite as any large city built by humans in the age of the earth, and if all modern cities built by humans from the perspective of natural aesthetics alone lack beauty and are the same, those cities with a little beauty are not built by modern earthlings - human beings are losing their own aesthetics. In fact, if you zoom in or down to the level of human beings, human beings are the weakest, weakest, and most likely to die, and their adult bodies are not competitive. So the question is, why can man become the spirit of all things? Isn't it more plausible to say that man is not the Lord of all things, or the father of all things, or the beater of all things, or the tormentor of all things? Haven't they ravaged everything since they appeared? From mammoths and sperm whales to passenger pigeons, dodos and even smallpox and plague, haven't humans overturned one after another along the way? Why doesn't anyone say they're the end of all things?
Because, it's they who define them in this way, and if animals can speak, you go and interview a Siberian tiger and ask him what do you think of people? It must have been nauseous and vomiting at first, and then the more you thought about it, the more angry it became, and it would knock your microphone away with a slap.
The so-called spirit of all things is the saying that people put gold on their faces, which means that we are still a little compassionate, but in fact, in essence, human beings do not have such a thing, and there may have been in the past, and you can't see it from modern earthlings. People only think about things from their own point of view, just like termites, a creature with such a division of labor and cooperation, can form such a huge social cluster, you ask humans if they are conscious? Humans will say no, they did such a big project by means of pheromone communication...... This analogy is a bit too mysterious, so does a dog have consciousness? What about cats? In this sense, does it mean that things that are closer to the biological structure of humans are more likely to be conscious, and those things like termites and flies are not worthy of consciousness? Now, if you look at it from the perspective of the earth, do humans have consciousness?
It depends on whether the earth has empathy, if her feelings are more delicate, she will think that these guys should have, and they are still flying out, can they not? So take a step back, from a human point of view, termites, when it comes to the breeding season, some of these guys grow wings and fly outward, in order to spread out the termite colony, and then, in the past, in places like Guangzhou, Yunnan, China, they were eaten as peanuts, which are said to be full of protein, three times more protein than beef...... In fact, other races don't dare to say it, we Chinese can be said to be chewers of all things, what you see and eat, just look at Zhang Tianhe......
To get back to the point, if we say that we are forced to be helpless, termites seem to be conscious, after all, it is an insect, which has been rampant in this part of the earth for 200 million years, and it seems that it is reasonable to be a little conscious. It may be that their consciousness is not as independent as that of humans, their consciousness is more social, and it is difficult to say that it has a single one, but once it is in a group, it shows consciousness. So, is there any consciousness in a pot of vine dill? If you accept the concept of empathy, it seems that plants can also be said to have them, such as mimosa, such as fly-eating flowers, and if these two plants have them, then there should be others. At this time, the key question comes, is a mountain conscious? For example, Mount Everest, the highest peak on earth, is there any consciousness on this mountain? Could it be that we humans have not been present enough time to see the characteristics of consciousness that it manifests? So, is the earth conscious?
This question is not in a hurry to draw conclusions, nor does it need to be concluded, in fact, it is enough to know one thing: if the earth is conscious, her consciousness will not be connected with human beings, not on the same order of magnitude, just as a person can never communicate with a carbon atom consciousness, we will not care what a carbon atom is thinking, just as the earth will not care about us. If it is true that there are internal changes in the earth that affect the way of thinking and emotional abilities of human beings, then it is not because of the good or bad of human beings, but because she may have been disturbed by other disturbances.
In the years when the earthlings were about to go to nuclear war, there was a conspiracy theory that the solar system was passing through a nebula during its flight around the galactic center, and it was these nebulae that had an impact on the overall environment of the solar system, so it caused several mass extinctions on Earth. The solar system circled the center of the galaxy for about 200 million years, and these people compared the year of the extinction and found that it seemed to be the case, every time they crossed this nebula, something bad would happen on the earth, and the extinction of life through this nebula and the earth did coincide to a certain extent in time. If this is the case, if the earth is conscious, then at least the astronomical disasters at this level are worth her attention - but the possibility of nonsense is high, because the earth is 4.5 billion years old, and there must be more than 20 extinctions of life in addition to it, and the sum of these creatures on the earth is not enough to be so extinct, once in 200 million years, once in 200 million years, it will all die long ago. What's more, it is important to understand that the main reason for the last mass extinction was man, and the sixth mass extinction was launched by human beings, who did not stop doing nothing, drawing a perfect end to this extinction and turning the earth into a barren land.
In any case, whether the earth is conscious or not, she will not and cannot resonate with such tiny creatures as humans, at least not yet. If it is true that some changes have occurred in her that have led to the self-destruction of human beings and the destruction of everything else, it should be that human beings themselves have not discovered the changes between their consciousness and emotions, and should not throw the pot on the earth.
