Time For Humanity
One deceptive moment.

We were hunters and foragers. The frontier was everywhere. We were bounded only by the earth, the ocean, and the sky.
- Carl Sagan
There are biological imperatives for all living organisms.
Immortality or reproduction.
The former is more a human fantasy of the powerful who cannot accept the beautiful limitations of nature and seek to circumvent its dominion. In the orderly life cycles of our natural world, the absence of the former leaves only reproduction.
The clock always ticks on the opportune window in an organism’s life cycle for this process. Time is the one unbeatable constant shared by all living things. Some are more cognizant of its passing than others. For most species, biology does the timekeeping.
Time allows for adaptation, survival, reproduction, and death, which the unforgiving natural world doesn’t guarantee will arrive in any order, only that it is inevitable.
The average life expectancy for homo sapiens in the western world just two centuries ago was 33.
Science, habitat, disease, and lifestyle are significant factors that affect this number.
So are wars.
There are species on our planet that have adapted over time in spectacular ways to their environment. The gray tree frog can avoid predators by changing its color and appearance based on its physical surroundings.
The octopus also has a miraculous ability to instantly change its color to its underwater surroundings to hide from predators. These fascinating creatures have three hearts and nine brains. One central brain, plus one for each independent arm. If they lose an arm they can grow it back.
Most species of octopus do not have much time. Some live for as little as six months. After reproduction, they begin the last stage of their lives called senescence when cellular reproduction ceases.
There are territorial species that prefer to be alone and there are herd species that prefer safety in numbers. Systems for survival and reproduction vary by habitat and natural predators. Humans only have one natural predator.
There is a subspecies of homo sapiens that have existed throughout recorded time. They seek to rule over and control others of their species. Today this subspecies has a global reach, far greater than any monarch or empire.
They control finances, economies, central banks, food supplies and distribution, and all-important institutions including governments. They also decide when wars will happen and for how long they will be waged and how the spoils and suffering will be distributed.
The global overlord is not so conducive to adaptation in a changing world. In order to flex his overlord status, he simply engineers the world to create the environment that others of a lesser status are forced to adapt to. This is the scientific equivalent of controlling rodents inside a laboratory for experimentation. In this case, the laboratory is the planet or western civilization, and humans are the rodents.
To the global overlord, reproduction is quaint, a performative physical gesture for lustful pleasure or to merely continue their hereditary lineage. Outside their own order, it’s mostly a third-world nuisance. The global overlord views all worlds including advanced nations as the third world.
People are simply units of consumption and units of carbon output. Humans are merely objects for remaking everything in the image they seek. A fusing of biology and technology to a post-human version of our species.
Implanted brain chips will form an interconnected network of organisms controlled by frequencies and processes that could be destructive on a cellular level. These frequencies are already all around us, destroying us on a cellular level. Sacrifices must be made. Immortality can’t wait. There simply isn’t enough time.
Billions will be sacrificed as we are made more efficient yet more dependent. Everything points to meddling with the natural order to render us less than human. Free will, desire, and liberty are considered obstacles to this agenda. We will be permitted to exist with very little, and all else will be artificial illusions and distractions.
In other words, the same trajectory they’ve been herding humanity for decades with the destruction of naturopathic medicine for allopathic medicine, hyper-individualism, epidemic levels of narcissism, mass consumption, digital re-presentation of selves and communities for mass surveillance, and intentional destruction of the family unit, gender roles, and traditions that were once the bedrock of healthy civilizations.
The global overlord cannot manage a population that is too large, too rigid, or too free. Malthusian reduction is essential. Manipulation will occur concurrently with reduction. Biotechnological fusion will happen as technology advances.
The overlord believes immortality may somehow now be attainable, perhaps in a nano-graphene biologic variation. Their experiments are already underway. To circumvent the natural order of the world that has persisted through all of time they are willing to sacrifice humanity for their aspirations of immortality.
Their arrogance is astounding. Their short-sightedness is troubling. Their results will not be what they imagine. Humanity has not consented to their agenda, but they do not care. Rodents in a cage cannot consent.
It was once the noblest aspiration of one generation of humans to pass on what was learned to the next generation, mostly for survival, then later for conquest and advancement. Each generation advancing the cause.
We always assumed we’d pass on what we learn from one generation to the next but that hardly seems true anymore. We seem intent on the destruction of valuable knowledge for species and civilizational survival.
By the time we’re ready to settle the nearest planetary systems, we will have changed. The simple passage of generations will have changed us. Adaptation will change us. We are an adaptable species.
- Carl Sagan
There
are no more physical frontiers on earth, so new, artificial ones are
invented. Creative and scientific innovation was to lead us toward
“progress”. The global overlord seeks to manage all waypoints of this
“progress”. While pretending to be benevolent shepherds of our natural
world, including humans, they seek to monetize it, control it, extract
it and subdue it.
What is the point of all our vast reservoirs of scientific knowledge if we aren’t following what we know to be true, and reverting back to only what we are told to believe and to trust unconditionally those doing the telling?
In their desire to play God with humans and nature, the meddling overlords have no limitations in their obsessions with scientism and posthumanism. There are no red lines. Whatever is possible becomes a necessary experiment through forced implementation.
Sometimes it’s sold as frictionless convenience, playing upon the inherent sloth of our leisurely consumer-obsessed species, who more often simply exist as energy consumption and redistribution units. Ten calories in for every two out through mostly unproductive activities.
And so we are viewed as bloated over-fed rodents in cages of our own acceptance and making. The images projected on the walls of our cage are a prison of our perceived reality that keeps us spellbound and trapped.
Our perception of time becomes warped by the trappings thrown in the cage. Understanding its limitations on our existence gets suspended as we submerge our minds into pseudo realities and artificial digital creations. We can be programmed to believe what we’re told.
We are now being programmed to believe the elderly have lived good lives and so euthanasia becomes a noble act to benefit younger generations. It is now advertised with dystopic euphemisms such as “compassionate end of life care”. Switzerland has allowed this private industry to operate for any aged person with the means to pay. Canada is next. Each paying customer one less carbon unit. One less pension recipient. Human life is expendable in the new order of “progress”.
The old order fades. Reproduction is postponed for corporate promotions in pursuit of a soulless career. Terminating a human life becomes not just socially acceptable among hysterical fanatics and economically encouraged by the soulless corporation, but an inalienable “human right” in the neoliberal “rules-based” order. Any offspring not terminated are dumped at institutions for remedial programming and coalescing, increasingly run by pink-haired mental cases adorned with disgusting tattoos and piercings who believe biology is merely a social construct. All truths and realities are deconstructed to become meaningless socially accepted fabrications engineered for species submission and destruction.
How can a species survive its desire to constantly deny reality and abort its own biological imperative?
As with every question in our world, time will eventually answer that.
Perhaps that’s the one thing that equals the playing field for rodents and overlords. Time. They will never get a minute more or a minute less than those they experiment on. They merely have the resources to pass it in whatever ways they choose.
Increasingly they choose to pass it standing over our cages, making decisions that affect us all as we feel helpless, particularly those who can see beyond the walls of their own cages. Some of those decisions will have irreversibly deleterious consequences for our species. Indeed for all species. It’s possible they won’t even make that decision, but move us there by accident in their quest for “progress”.
The command and control networks in nuclear nations receive orders and spread them to missile silos and submarines in strategic locations. Units have less than ten minutes to complete launch protocols before becoming targets themselves.
Evolutionary adaptation doesn’t correct quickly for things. Psychology based advertising and propaganda is but a century old. Fifth generational cognitive warfare is new. Most people have no idea they are open targets. We watch these maladapted sapiens in real-time race toward the land mines with smiley emojis on. Happy in their cages.
There are species and then there are ignorant variations of species. Only in humans can they reach the pinnacle of power.
The pinnacle of power seeks to push Russia or China too far over the edge and have nutty ideas about faking a nuclear isolated event that activates nervous fingers toward red buttons that once pressed can’t be undone.
On September 26, 1983 Russian defenses detected five incoming ICBMs. In fact these ICBMs were computer-generated phantoms, but the Russians didn't know that. Alarms went off in a command bunker near Moscow. This bunker was the last stop. If it validated the signal then an emergency We-Are-Being attacked message would have gone straight to the Kremlin. The pressure was intense and the system was positive in its assessment of the ICBMs. However the commander of the bunker decided - by instinct - that it was a false alarm. He over-ruled the computers. Had that not happened there was only last step before Russia launched a counter-attack.1
With all that we know of nuclear weapons and their destructive powers, and after witnessing their use at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, these options are still on the table. We are fully aware of what that would mean not just for humanity but all species on this planet forever, yet we still have them waiting, on standby, buttons threatening to be pressed.
Who would dare even talk about such things accusatorily while tensions are heightened in open displays of hostility that could escalate to the unthinkable?
There are species capable of so much more beyond survival and reproduction. We like to think of ourselves as one of them.
Indeed human life is a triumph. We are a species capable of such beauty and wonder through empathy, acceptance, harmony through cohabitation, and innovative achievements that move us toward a greater understanding of our species’ survival and responsibility as noble shepherds of our planet’s ecosystems.
We are also a species capable of horrific destruction through the use of weapons that in one deceptive moment of misunderstanding could…
could…
Well, c’mon. These weapons are less than a century old. Technological adaptation doesn’t happen quickly. The learning curve is not the same for all species.
Give us time.
Oh.
