Humans are inefficient in the natural order of things. Man has to rip the earth to shreds and slave away to corporations in order to get what a wolf can procure with little effort. Mans savagery is unmatched by any of the worlds wildest animals. He renders the world a battlefield and a wasteland in his wake.
Humans are inefficient compared to the rest of nature. Nothing will ever be sufficient. Progress goes on and on whereas the natural world can live simply and harmoniously within its specific niche.
There is no amount of resources or innovation that will satisfy its 100kg or so of flesh. Discomfort and discontentment drives us day by day. Too hot too cold. Boredom is a constant weight hanging over us pushing us to seek more and more stimulus.
Mankind is a freak of nature, an oddity in the web of life. It’s human like ants nests have colonized the globe.
There is no meteorite or volcano big enough that will unleash the destruction that mankind has.
Humans need an insatiable amount of resources and requires unlimited growth to keep its society satisfied. Mankind wants and needs are endless. There is no amount of technological progress that will satisfy him. He is in the world but not of it.
Mankind is a collection of soft needy creatures that needs endlessly to keep itself amused and to maintain its survival. The surroundings are dramatically altered wherever it goes to appease it’s wants and it’s needy and ceaselessly greedy flesh.
want, want, want progress marches on at godspeed and still mankind is unsatisfied. Amusing itself to death and taking the rest of the world and creation with it.
Mankinds factories are spewing out climate altering fumes 24 hours a day to produce billions of bits of plastic. A wolf lives in equilibrium with its surroundings needing only what it needs and gracefully keeping it’s species alive with little demand from mother nature.
Man breeds and breeds ceaselessly – it’s species fills the earth – full of wretched lives, full of woe and wars.
Mans wars become more ferocious we with its weapons advancing with laser focus.
There is no end to our technological progress. Mans mind and flesh cannot stand raw unfiltered life. Everything has to be mediated through technology.
This earthly misfit shakes the earth with its bombs and fills the ground with skeletons as it’s bullets mow down other tribes in disagreement.
“we come into this world, for three things, to eat, to sleep, and to shit. And then maybe some stuff in the middle.” (Ikkyu – Zen monk)
