J-filosophy - 'an exclusive look at the nature of humanity, life and everything'

I had an epiphany today, and it was a realization that I don't like anything, I hate everyone apart from Java and the whole nature of the universe infuriates me, to the degree of near suicide and as i write this, I would like you to realize this post may not be joke filled as my usual.

humans are designed by nature and evolution to exploit everything, to exploit food sources, to exploit land and to exploit energy, we are also made to hate everything that is not us, we are designed to be wary of other cultures and their influences and be wary of change, but this sort of extreme fear mixed with out intelligence gives us our dominance, we strive to destroy everything but ourselves, we desire for wealth greater than ourselves and we wish not for peace, but for whatever situation will benefit us as the individual the most.

You see we are made to break the rules of nature - which is rather ironic - and thus our primitive instincts have developed throughout history, as our technology and understanding has greatened so has our capacity to override instinct and ascend out of our animalistic ways, so, great you are thinking, yes, wonderful, but what happened if this trend ends? What happens when we stagnate? Wars, lots of wars, wars over nothing wars which destroy everything we know and love. Truly that is our nature.

“Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.” Says the bible, and that is right, on small fronts and on a global scale; you see if humans do not have a greater agenda, if they do not have wealth to obtain through peaceful means and if they do not have technological hopes, then we fall to war, an end to peace in all forms and the apocalypse, now, this may not happen, it is not certainty, but as we continue to face obstacles in our economic and intellectual expansion, and the population becomes ignorant and they produce babies of evil, the probability of this end to our species rises, as global warming threatens our security, wars in the middle east over oil and the Americans seek to enforce the rapture, we become conceited imperialistic and racist.

Now, this is nothing new, for eternity empires have struggled for dominance, but never before with such power and with such at stake, nuclear arms capable of eradicating the planet, sit passively in myriad silos waiting for the button to be pressed which shall single the end of everything we know and allot we don't. As technology develops, so does destruction, thus, if we stop developing new technologies we signal the end to everything and if we do we signal the end to everything, but, there is a way out...

“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. (Psalms 30:5)” The end is never really the end, despite what I have said, humanity matters not on a universal scale, but its brief existence raises some questions. Why did nature develop its destruction? why did our planet Seal it's doom? Why did evolution see fit to make us, when simpler creatures could create a worthy ecosystem independently? and Why, does anything exist anyway?! I know none of the answers to any of these questions, and only speculation exists, but that drive keeps us motivated and moving along as an intelligent civilization, there is a small gap in the mesh of Life, we can beat nature, we can beat the universe, we are God's.

First of all, we need to defeat global warming, then we need to form one massive global country with shared wealth and capitalistic ideals, then we need to perfect renewable energy, and finally we need to develop deep space travel. Just watch the original series of Star Trek, such a perfect society, such a hippy show, but thats what we need to achieve, and more. You see the planet we live on and nature will keep trying to destroy us, with ice ages, global warming, resources shortages and our own crude nature; to survive we must seize our nature and bend it into an unrecognizable but wonderful state, we need to destroy instinct, we need to spread our culture and people so far that the death of a whole galaxy would not even phase us. however the basic form of humanity will alter greatly, with different forms of human adapting in different ways across the the universe, we will cease to be one species and will ascend to become something greater, something unimaginable, something great. In short we need to force ourselves to evolve in a way that defies nature, we need to cease to be human.

“I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11)” The Lord is nature and nature is the Lord, they wish to destroy us for they have created their doom, of course they are fictional, they do not exist other than in the very forces of the universe, maybe our creation was an inevitable accident spun in the insecurities of the very laws of the universe, we could except our fate as martyrs, or we could struggle on in spite of everything and spit in the face of the universe, our nature is to exploit, so let us bring an end to the exploitation of each other and exploit the universe, to live, to ascend , to realize our potential we need to kill God.

“Everything is possible for him who believes.” Mark 9:23 - Take heart from the words of God my friends for ironically we shall need them to destroy him, for the only way to live is to change and the only way to change is to destroy nature and become our own force, and until that day, which shall probably never happen, I will continue to hate everything and everyone, but Java for “He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defense; I shall not be moved.”

Oh J-snukk, philosophy is tough. The comment I wnated to leave, I am gonna put in Java's counter. 'Cos that is where most of the action has moved to..

Oh well, it is not that hard to cut and paste, so here it is here also...

Oh... my... God. OVERLOAD! There are so many point in here I want to argue about. I considered making them a separate article, but I had just written an interesting one, so this will have to do as a post instead.

Firstly, and there are many more points but this is the most pressing, “First of all, we need to defeat global warming, then we need to form one massive global country with shared wealth and capitalistic ideals,”

Well. Defeat global warming. You have just made the point about how humanity is naturally self-destructive, and since we are a creating of nature, nature is self-destructive. The infinity of creation is doomed, at some stage, to destruction. It is far easier to break something than to fix it. In order to "fix" Global Warming, we would need to overrule the sole reason why we are the dormant species on the planet. We exploit things to our advantage, no matter the cost.

Secondly, Capitalism! I am not a revolutionary, or something of that sort, but i am completely of the opinion that capitalism is a broken system, and the only reason that it has western support is because is breed a false consciousness within the population. You see, the entire workforce works ten-hour days or more, and will spend their income on overpriced "luxury" items, which are marked up due to a value assigned by the corporations. Capitalism leads to constant depression, look at the 1930s, look at the housing prices at the moment. Capitalism to not the best system, it is the system that the western world operates in. Democracy is not the "best", capitalism is not the "best", they are just the system that we operate in, and I can say: look at things that preceded us. Do we live with slaves, as the Romans, or the Greeks did? No, it has been eroded by newer beliefs. Capitalism is not the end of the road that is human progression, not unless we destroy ourselves prematurely. In a few thousand years, the world will not be a capitalist democracy. We will have moved on, or we will have killed ourselves.

This assumes that the great cosmic joke of a comet or something-as-yet-unknown comes our way.

As for you Java - “World is fine as it is” and “Nature is always here, always will be too”! You egotistical, self-important ignoramus! See above.

Wow. This did take up a lot of room. Thanks for reading.
