What would the Earth look like without human existence?

So I saw this man here. In his posts, he kept mocking women in the same way toxic, patriarchal men often do., I thought his behaviour is like from a closed narrow minded society but he doesn't look like he came from there so when I checked his profile, I found out he was indeed from a more progressive country. But he was clearly influenced by a very backward culture/society wearing their clothes, practicing their customs, traditions and consuming their content.

So even though he was from a freer society, his thinking had regressed because of what he was surrounding himself with.

It doesn't matter how progressive your environment is if your mind is constantly fed by a culture/society that promotes outdated values, that mindset will eventually take root. Over time, you begin to reflect the very attitudes you absorb.

If someone lives in a progressive free society but constantly consumes the content of a closed or backward society, they can become backward too.

Happy Weekend 💜

Beware

What's your curse?

Only fun answers to the most basic question: why?

The moment you’re ready to take that leap of faith, the past situations rush at you serving as a reminder if you’ve learned and grown since then.

I’m by no means perfect but I’ve learned to love myself more, set boundaries, and realize whatever works for me, is meant for me!

It hits you

Friedrich Nietzsche states in his book The Will to Power:
"What is man's greatest weakness? His inability to realize that the bad side of things is necessary!"

Here, Nietzsche suggests that humans often suffer because they don't accept the negative aspects and difficulties in their lives. The truth is, the bad side of things plays a crucial role in growth, learning, and appreciating positive aspects.

Negative experiences and challenges teach us how to deal with crises, making us stronger and more mature. By confronting difficulties, we learn to appreciate happy moments and successes even more. Not grasping this makes a person more prone to frustration and feeling lost when facing hardships, as they fail to see the potential value and lessons in those negative experiences.

Nietzsche also says in Thus Spoke Zarathustra:
"Whoever wants to remain pure among men must know how to wash himself with dirty water too."

Here, Nietzsche expresses a profound idea related to human nature and social interaction. He suggests that maintaining moral purity and personal integrity within a corrupt society might require dealing with difficult and corrupt situations. In other words, to remain pure in an environment full of challenges and corruption, one must be prepared to confront those corrupt matters and know how to deal with them realistically, even if it's uncomfortable. This demands courage and strength to endure challenges while maintaining purity without being swept into corruption itself.

"Washing with dirty water" symbolizes the difficult and bitter challenges, situations, and life experiences we face. Nietzsche emphasizes that a person seeking purity must go through and learn from these bad experiences, because they are an unavoidable part of real life. Therefore, one must "wash with dirty water"!

It's important to note that absolute purity is impossible in the real world. Instead, people should strive for a relative purity that requires realistically dealing with the flaws and problems present in society.

Whoever wants to remain pure among men must know how to wash himself with dirty water too.

There's a deeply rooted historical problem within the human race: how to get rid of the influence of a group of people without getting rid of the group itself.

History teaches us that the only successful way to eliminate the influence of any powerful group is through violence and completely eradicating that group. It was necessary to separate the last aristocrat's head from his body for the French Revolution to succeed. And it was necessary to eliminate all of the Romanovs – even the children – for the Bolshevik Revolution to succeed. 


This is not just a historical truth; it's a biological one. Until not long ago, our species shared the Earth with other human species. All these other species suddenly went extinct. Some theories suggest that this extinction happened naturally through displacement, because our species Homo sapiens was more intelligent and skilled, and therefore natural selection favored us over other species. If you notice, this is the same explanation given by white men when asked about their extermination of indigenous peoples in the Americas, Australia, and the Pacific islands: that they were less developed species, replaced by a more intelligent and wise species.

However, the skulls and ribs pierced by spears in the caves of Neanderthals and their kin tell a different story. Natural selection favored us because we were more violent. Intelligence was immensely beneficial in our ability to create better weapons and our ability to kill large numbers more effectively. Consequently, we became better at hunting and eliminating competition for resources.

Among the evolutionary tools we used to achieve superiority was our ability for language and effective communication, as well as nationalism and the feeling of belonging to our tribe and only to those who resemble us. This makes sense in a world full of other hominins; there had to be a way for us to recognize each other as members of the same species. for our species to survive, even though interbreeding occurred, and their genes are still part of ours to this day, a testament to their past existence.


The truth is that violence is an inherent trait in us, and not only that, but we owe our success in survival and superiority over our fellow humans to this very trait. And there's no such thing as a peaceful transfer of power, because we know very well that it's a battle for the survival of the fittest and most violent, despite the world living under the illusion that it's civilized.


 This is not an incitement to violence or a justification for it. This is merely an objective analysis of a primate species currently dominating the planet.

"Our language, our music, and our manners are increasingly raucous, self-centred, and offensive, as though beauty and good taste have no real place in our lives. One word is written large on all these ugly things, and that word is ‘me’.”

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense. My guess is that when one really go to waits in expansion has entrance in deciding for which it is really far even to use go want despite boundaries overlooking like more does; which does hinderances of all being aside this are mine.
