Armageddon (not the movie)
Posted: Fri Mar 11, 2011 5:32 am
The accurate Mayan calender ends Dec 21, 2012.
The end of earth and life as we know it, or perhaps after the last calender maker died nobody wanted to continue on with the boring job.
An armageddon, of sorts, is undoubtedly already here.
Food shortages, starvation, environmental ruin, all a result of overpopulation.
And it continues.
As the planet's resources are consumed, and the population continues to grow, one can only hope, in the face of all evidence, that the human race will not self destruct.
Or a new disease might evolve that will decimate, even eliminate.
Always a chance of a giant meteor hitting earth, nearly wiping out all life, resetting the clock, so the earth can start the life cycle over again as it has done so many times in the past.
Humans might just be nature's deviant accident. A complex brain housed in a body driven by animal instincts. Reproduction, survival of the species, survival and dominance by the individual, are so strong that many people submit to them instead of living a live of mental control guided by intelligence.
Our human bodies still carry in them the instincts and hormones of our beastly past; they have not evolved and adapted to a body that contains a developed brain and mind. And so much horror seems to be driven by male testosterone. We are evolving into our own self-made armageddon. An interesting story line would be to harvest and freeze sperm and egg from the most peaceful and intellectual of our species, castrate all males on earth, and all boy babies born in the next 9 months, and start over. Without testosterone, now or in the future, could we develop a society that exists only by artificial insemination or surrogate mothers? Would humans be better off without sex and all the problems that go with it? Love would not be obliterated. Humans have many kinds of emotion, affection, and love, that do not involve sexual activity.
Could we develop an intelligent society that would stop creating it's own destruction and instead create solutions, not more problems? This of course won't happen in reality, but it would make an interesting storyline that could turn into dozens of fabricated endings.
But the real true ending is beginning to look like a slow steady self-made armageddon. Some have the evidence, the remainder refuse to accept or believe.
