The Neglected Human
The human being, it is assumed, is the most intelligent being on earth. There are other intelligent species, all have a good measure of intelligence, but none have the features that enable such diverse qualities and abilities as the human being.
Like
all other species the human being is a product of nature and is sustained by
it. Nature has been most gracious to this species perhaps because it has the
acumen to safeguard its interest and protect the flora and fauna it provides
for.
In
the tribal populations we notice many traits that are missing in the modern
urban populace. The tribal revere nature, consider nature to be God, and feel
it is their duty to protect the earth. Having worked with the tribal I have
come to respect their cumulative knowledge and the way they have identified
with the natural world surrounding them.
Living
with nature can be harsh but it allows people to be simple and straightforward.
The tribal will not lie because they do not feel the need for it. Living with
nature grounds people and provides a balance. Such people have very few needs
and live spartan lives. They have very deep convictions and sharpened powers of
observation.
The
main problem with the vast majority living in the modern world is that they
have completely lost touch with nature and its cycles. The modern civilization
feels that nature is an adversary that needs to be vanquished and that an
artificial world will be more conducive.
In
this separation from nature lies the neglect of man and his downfall.
What
caused the separation from nature and the change in mentality? The industrial
revolution. Ever since this development nature became an input to be processed
in the quest for comfort.
While
the industrial revolution began with the impression that human beings would be
benefitted, it actually began to sideline them. Slowly began a trend that the
human is a slave species and the machine is better.
The
machine did not say that it is better. Who said that? Those that built the
industries. Powerful human beings. The industrial society provided the impetus
to this group to dominate, become more powerful, and employ the human resource
for their benefit.
Then
began an era of neglect of the natural world, human beings, and also the qualities that distinguish the human
beings from other species.
The
arts that flourished, the quest for knowledge, was replaced by a new subject
named science that captivated the masses mostly because it became sine qua non
for lucrative livelihoods. The objective of this science, married to the
industry, seems to be mindless material growth at the expense of natural
resources disregarding every concern that comes its way.
The
backers of the new subject being used to increase corporate profits have an
intent and know that great harm will come about from this pursuit that goes
against conventional wisdom of ages. They therefore honed a few terms to
bludgeon opposition into submission.
The
first such term is the "greater good" . It came with the pretense
that collective good was about sacrificing the interests of, or even doing
harm, to a minority. It does not matter if the very concept of the good is a
mirage and all are harmed.
The
second term is "There is no alternative" or the TINA factor. The new
harm becomes essential when this term is displayed on board. We need to harm
because it is the only way out!
The
third aspect was "qualification and expertise". It created an army of
declared experts and projected them as the custodians of "truth".
Only they can be relied upon and their decisions and proclamations are final.
Opposition, however judicious, is misinformation.
Thus
the system was created to distort the truth and project convenient falsehood as
the "new truth". Simple subjects became complex and common sense
became superstition. People were asked to set aside conventional wisdom and
accept the revealed new truth.
Under
the new system slavery is demanded at every level. Food is an essential input
for the human body. A new industry has emerged to mass produce. It resulted in
food becoming poison, proliferation of artificial ingredients, and non
nutritious food, all of which has become the norm. Unless the slaves are
weakened they will not admit to the slavery.
Industrialization
itself has a very demeaning effect. Labour is an input. Thus the masses become
labour force. They are no longer the caretakers of nature, or to be poetic, the
masters of all they survey.
Industry
also requires the proximity of the workforce. Therefore started the ghettos.
Villagers were uprooted from their natural surroundings and herded into
unhealthy congested habitations. As this took a heavy toll of lives, improvements
were made, and townships were born.
As
these townships supplied the needs of the workforce, the consumer industry took
shape. The laborers became consumers of the industrial products they toiled
for. The rich became richer.
The
villagers were earlier engaged in
productive activities. What they produced they exchanged for what they needed.
This exchange benefitted both the parties, and both had to toil. Barter is
about being productive and adding value.
For
the rich however money had to come easy. Thus began paper money. You only
needed to convince people to deposit their hard earned earnings and then you
traded that money to earn for yourself based on promissory notes.
The
governments formed with the backing of rich and powerful traders who adopted
this route, took to the mass printing of
paper currency. It provided additional power to make more money. The money
began to be used to purchase people and accentuate the neglect and harm.
The
neglect and exploitation destroyed nature, polluted the environment, corrupted
the agriculture and food system, forced people to live in extreme stress and
led to disease.
The
diseases in turn became an earning opportunity. A new system of medicine
emerged from the stables of the rich and powerful. It declared that disease is
a chemical deficiency and therefore began the philanthropy of mass producing
drugs and medical services. The labour force now had another use; they became
patients. They do not have the right to question; only consume. Mental and
physical strength has abandoned the species as a result.
We
shiver while going through the accounts of the world war concentration camps
and consider ourselves lucky that we do not live in such times. But unknown to
us the whole world has been converted to such a camp. Except for walls the
present world resembles the worst of such camps.
Things
are not going to end here. The neglect of man is set to end with wholesome
extermination. The useless eaters are now being pruned in the quest for
bringing in a new world order and the fourth industrial revolution that is
purely technology with very minimal requirement of labour.
So
we have disease spewing factories producing the toxins that will be used to
cull, the treatment industry to aid in that culling, and the "expert"
industry that will use the word "science" to absolve the criminals
and justify the crime.
Wars
and riots will force people into accepting measures they would not agree to
otherwise.
Rights
will be taken away, ownership of property seized, people will be declared sick
and force medicated, the demarcation of zones within townships will facilitate
greater control and tracking, travel will be restricted, the food will be fully
artificial, and only those fully compliant will be allowed basic facilities.
Very
few will survive these measures and step into the new world.
The new world will begin another round of extreme exploitation with artificially augmented human beings, artificial wombs to mass produce the desired slaves, living and working in the metaverse, leaving the natural world to the enjoyed by the "real" owners; the super rich.
There is no alternative. It is all for the greater good. One needs to be scientific, listen to the experts, and tolerate what is happening all around and what is coming. For are we not the most intelligent species on earth?
Pretense
and the need to conform will lead us to an unprecedented crisis.
