So we have this self-understanding that we evolved. Well, the point is what you have to do with it is take it seriously.
If you're going to believe in evolution, if you're going to concede the reality of evolution; yea it basically blows up the god theory; it blows up any kind of contrivances attached to that. So blow it all up and start from scratch, and realize what we are.
We're chemical machines, that have been built over 4 billion years, and we've been tested in what can be called quite accurately a 'Gladiator War'; where the machines went into the battle and if you won your DNA replicated, and that's all it was was a war. And as time evolved the war became more complex. As the organisms evolved they get more and more elaborate tools. So we have all these elaborate individual tools. And then it became gang warfare essentially; then you become gangs of lions or gangs of this and tribes of that, and then the tribe genetics essentially starts evolving.
Call it what it is; there's exploitation all over the place. To talk about this adaptation, niches, this "balance" crap, is just a lie. There are winners and losers in disgracefully uneven proportions on this planet. To sit there and glorify the mechanism of Gladiator War -- fight for no good reason, kill 10 of your kind, or maybe 500 of the other sentient creatures, fry them up in your pots and cook them.
Evolution is a story, and it's not a good story. It's a story of a forced march -- 4 billions years of little machines struggling to trip the other guy, to fuck the other guy over, to eat the other guy's guts. There are organisms all over this planet who's only mission is to dig a hole inside of you and to eat your fucking brains. Don't talk to me how balanced, brilliant and purposeful and niche-ey all the crap is; that's not a legitimate niche.
There obviously isn't any sensible, rational, logical reason to perpetuate Gladiator War. There's no way you can make this, the naked truth of evolution into a good story; it's a negative story, decisively negative.
The function is survival by any mechanism any means possible, whatever can happen can happen, no umpires no rules, just a blood sport; and for nothing, nothing in the end, just a raised hand "I win, you die". And it's a crude and stupid game. Our intelligence only exists because it was a scheming tool, because it made us better at stealing star energy from other organisms. That's the only reason why it exists. And it still remains its only function. To be used as a scheming tool to derive gratification or satisfaction of our selfish individual desires. And most of the human race is completely still owned by that nonsense, they're still more obedient to the notions of nepotism (family superiority), nationalism, racism, than they are devoted to any high minded ideal of civilization or decency or justice or fairness. Life is a sad and tragic story in nature, and humanity has done nothing to write a better chapter in the life book.
We have disgraced our intelligence, insulted it, brutalized it, perverted it, to sick and depraved purposes; and it's all over our culture, our economics, our entertainment. at the core we're just crass, stupid and superficial. And again it's at this price of the suffering; I mean you could go on the suffering forever, you could explain, describe, the horrible death that will meet, be the fate of most sentient creatures -- that will be a last gasp. And it will be a long, hard, nasty, ugly road 'til that last breath. And as long as people aren't in that sinking boat at the moment, the're just going to party and pretend the're all yachting, even though they're on the Titanic, and the truth is written everywhere if they'll just open their eyes and look at it, that their on a boat that's going to sink.
It's just so obvious; people are so far from taking any responsibility for dealing what reality is. And all for a stupid purpose, to build a machine that goes in an arena and fights with other machines, to simply say "I win" and die -- so its sons and daughters can play the same game all over again.
It's insidious.
EXTRA THOUGHT: Many people put their minds at ease by saying that God loves them and cares for them so God will take care of them in the afterlife even. Think about it objectively people, when you see the cruel and harsh nature of this world and by which grotesque/violent means this world is evolved through billions of organisms eating each other's brains/guts etc. and the fact that we are here, yes in this hell of a place; if God lvoed you would he put you here? If you were a god would you put sentient beings in such enviroment/planet ?
