INTELLIGENCE - THE
GREATEST VIRUS ON EARTH.
It has finally occurred to me what is actually wrong with The Human Animal. We are all stricken with a virus that we picked up many thousands of years ago. It's an insidious, indestructible virus, and its effects are long-term and profound. This virus doesn't make us feel sick per se, but it makes us behave in a way that is so contrary to Nature, our most vital life-force, that over many centuries it has been slowly making us extinct anyway. The interesting thing is that we are blissfully unaware that it is even a virus. We call it..... INTELLIGENCE.
Let's dig a little deeper. If you examine all the other living creatures on this planet, you will find that they have not changed in any way at all. Apart from the ones that have become extinct, often at the hands of man, or have been wiped out by great global catastrophes, all other creatures have remained the same for thousands of years. Why? Because they remain in step with Nature. They remain governed by her laws. They know nothing of numbers and science, and still live by the rising and setting of the sun. They live only to eat and procreate. They seek nothing more. And under normal circumstances, Nature provides all they need. But not the Human Animal. No. Mankind was doomed from the moment he contracted INTELLIGENCE; the most powerful virus to ever plague the Earth. At that moment, this virus caused him to reject all that Nature had given him. It caused him to reject his host.It caused him to defy his host, manipulate his host, and even consider himself smarter than his host. It first struck his thought patterns via the brain, infecting his nerve fibres and synapses, and causing him to create tools from natural materials like wood and rock. Tools that quickly became weapons with which he could strike down and dominate all the other creatures on the planet. But this was just the beginning. What followed was fire, steel, The Industrial Revolution, Electronics, The Digital Revolution, and many other facets of this deadly disease. In fact, it has taken 2 million years to fully infect every aspect of the human being, and is not yet finished. In short, it is the longest living virus ever known. A disease that has been making us sicker and sicker for over 200 centuries. But here's the really clever thing about this virus. It won't actually kill us itself. It will make us, through our own sheer foolishness, kill OURSELVES. Foolishness which includes greed, ambition, hedonism, selfishness, narcissism, lack of vision, and spiritual degeneration.
You may think the HIV virus is clever because it doesn't kill directly. It knocks out your immune system, and lets some lesser disease do the rest. But the INTELLIGENCE virus is even smarter because it is making an entire species kill ITSELF over a very long period of time. Sadly, this virus does have terrible side-effects, but tragically, and ironically, these side-effects don't affect the actual carrier of the disease...Man. They effect all around him. Especially the Earth's environment and all the other creatures who share the Earth with him. Some say this disease will cause man to eventually destroy the Earth, but Nature is far smarter and way more powerful than that. You see, here's the really interesting truth. Nature, in her wisdom, recognising the destructive potential in the Human Animal, actually CREATED this virus as a safeguard. Essentially a form of parole. Behave or die. But we have not behaved. And we will die. Probably sooner than we think.
All our clever, scientific trickery, our numbers and our machines are worth nothing in the Natural World. In fact they are naught but the scabs on the multitude of wounds we have inflicted on this great planet. And when we're gone, these scabs will dry up, fall off, and the wounds will heal. And Nature will restabilise Earth. So the next time you consider your own intelligence, remember this. All that brain power is actually a terminal illness. A virus which is making you, and all of mankind, extinct.
Have a nice day!
