More Praise For Extinction

Extinction Symbol

Okay, I'll stipulate that these are certainly trying times.  You know, liberty on the wane, chaos in the body politic, immigration problems in every country, the threat of a financial collapse, doomsayers everywhere, warmongering by both cults and nations, and of course the idiots who still hawk wealth redistribution disguised as global warming or whatever label they've slapped on it now.  And which, as you all know, the genesis of which I lay squarely at the feet of the Destructor, The Kenyan.  As the great Sage Wei Li once said, "Enthusiasm is contagious; it is spread by casual contact."  Unfortunately, the corollary is true, pessimism and negativity is also contagious, and is spread in the same way.  And that is what we have today: a global scourge of pessimism and cynicism and all-out negativity, which opens the gates to self defeating prophecy.  You know, we are as we think. Think evil and destruction, get evil and destruction.  I've had to clear my house of unwanted malevolent extra-dimensional entities several times this year alone.  Even the Catholic Church is taking notice as Satan, laughing, spreads his wings, to steal a great line from Black Sabbath's War Pigs.  Notice the upswing in exorcisms lately, for example?

Are Humans a Virus in a Petri Dish?

Today yet another human comes along and opines that humanity will be extinct in 100 years time.  You may recall just recently one Les U Knight, a Portland substitute teacher, came out with a plea for us humans to self-extinct through his Voluntary Human Extinction Movement.  "Thank you for not breeding," I believe is their slogan.  How droll.  Yet that's some serious nihilistic self-hate this cat's wrapped up in, and I commented on it here.

But today, Australian scientist Frank Fenner predicts that humanity will be wiped out in 100 years time due to over population, diminishing resources, and of course, global warming  Wow. We better start partying, right?  No, because doomsayers are prolific - they have been crying "The end is near," for centuries.  And they're always wrong.  They are wrong because their recipe for annihilation never takes place, whether it's the fear of nuclear war in the 1950s and 1960s, or whether it was the new ice age scare in the 1970s.  Those things never happened.  The end didn't come in 1929 when the stock markets collapsed the banks, and it didn't come in 1980 and in 2000 when the markets crashed, either.  So even if you can buy into the over-population theory of self annihilation, and liken the human race to a virus culture grown in a Petri dish, you still have the thorny problem of "life will find a way." as Dr. Ian Malcolm's character tells us in Jurassic Park.

As a further example, astrophysicists, usually a very upbeat group, tell us that we haven't met ET because civilizations evolve only to a certain point in advanced technological development, before they sputter and devolve or become extinct. Like what will happen to us, they warn.  Right.  Like Atlantis?  And notwithstanding the Drake Equation, which predicts the existence of literally billions of habitable planets in our galaxy alone that may - or should - have life, they continue to espouse this nihilistic prophecy of self extinction.  There's a plethora of compelling physical evidence right here on terra firma to support the notion that not only have we met ET, but were actually are ET.  But that's a subject for another post.


So you needn't worry, we are all going to be here a good while longer.  The Earth will nourish and support us awhile longer.  One should question why all this self annihilation prophecy is being spewed out there.  Cui bono? We may come to grips with the over population issue, and that would be a good thing.  But for today, go out and enjoy your magnificent, God-given life, ignore the self hate crowd and the hidden agenda evil doers, and plant a tree to suck up some of that atmospheric CO2 those green-on-the-outside-red-on-the-inside communists are always whining about.  And by all means, live your life as the metaphysical Zen warrior in all your endeavors.

Life always will find a way.
