Us Humans, Gosh…
I never liked Whales. It’s strange. I mean, I love fish, but anything bigger than a mackerel concerns me. And whales are somewhat bigger than a mackerel. They are ma-hussive in fact. But here’s the thing: the picture at this blog concerned me.
Much as I can personally take or leave whales—leave if I have anything to do with it—this is shocking. It just goes to show that it doesn’t matter how big you are or how tough your skin is, human beings will always strive to be tougher, and that’s a frightening thought.
Being such a tenacious species that simply refuses to be wiped-out and die, we have little in common with the dinosaurs, so the comparison of their demise and the possibility of ours has always seemed strange to me. After all, dinosaurs didn’t have mobile phones, page 3 newspapers or GPS did they? No, they had dirt, grass and lots of rawwwwing to do. So our demise will take a bit more than it did for them, simply because of our level of awareness. When that disaster does eventually fall out of space and hit the earth, I’d be extremely surprised if we hadn’t thought of something to avoid it.
Enigin know that we can’t avoid everything. Avoiding is good for some things—like being chased by a Rhino, hiding from an attack of eggs thrown by malicious school-children, etc, but for everything else (such as climate change) it’s only postponing the inevitable. And we don’t want to do that, do we? Energy-saving dudes Enigin don’t really think that would be wise. Which is why they bring these shocking revelations to us, in order to let us know what the real deal is.
