Humanity’s purpose in Nature
Question from the Internet:
“What is your perception of the importance of human existence and its role?”
Humanity has a very important, unique, unparalleled role and purpose in Nature’s lawful and deterministic system.
We are supposed to become the Natural system’s only conscious, fully integrated and at the same time independent observers and partners.
In order to achieve this special role, we had to be born seemingly outside of the system, with a completely opposite “inner software” compared to Nature.
The Natural system is built upon selfless, unconditional, mutually responsible and mutually complementing mutual integration — without which the general balance and homeostasis life depend on would not be possible.
Human beings by default sense themselves completely disconnected from and against others, living, surviving and succeeding through ruthless competition at the expense of each other and Nature.
We exist and behave like cancer, on a path towards seemingly inevitable self-destruction. The more we develop the more destructive we become.
On the other, in order to help us achieve our final, most optimal state as opposed to our inherent one, Nature also gave us a unique Human intellect, capable of critical self-assessment and the ability to initiate self-change. With the help of this unique Human intellect — we haven’t been using so far — we can recognize our destructive initial nature — we received from evolution — and start a purposeful, methodical development towards seamless, mutual integration with each other and through it with Nature.
Of course, we cannot change ourselves by ourselves, after all, nobody can lift oneself by pulling one’s own hair. But we can learn and implement how to harness, and use Nature’s positive evolutionary forces — all working towards the most optimal mutual integration of the whole system — to complement, upgrade our initial “raw, beta software” and thus achieve the necessary, Natural integration by our own initiative.
And this will enable us to reach the above mentioned, predetermined, unique Human role in Nature.
