RE: Life into Perspective: A thought
Well I partially I agree with your analysis. I prefer to take the matter more objectively. Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence. So far, the evidence we have is that we are a result of various supernovas and particles scattered across the universe. Our "consiousness" is merely a mechanism for understand vaguely what goes on around us. its not something special. We perceive it as special because we like to think ourselves as special.
I agree with you. I often am sort of revolted by those who think of themselves in grandiose ways. I see that humans are the only problematic wealth hoarders of the animal kingdom. That is in itself disgusting and worth taking a closer look at. I think humans do more violence both to the earth and each other than any previous life form. Although I think it can be reversed, I am not optimistic that there will be enough time. Only the future will tell.
Technology can reverse this. There is massive reduction in violence and i am hopefull that the trend will continue.
