Hmm… well that’s a different way to look at it! George Carlin proposes an interesting view on climate change. He suggests that us humans have no competition with the planet. “We have NO control!” Would you verse a football team who has played together since their 2 years old for the super bowl trophy? I mean so what they were little when they started, what could that possibly mean? It means they’ve grown and experienced changes together, they learned and memorized each other’s techniques inside and out. Hell no I wouldn’t verse them! They have no new glitches and new players to decode. They have it ALL figured out. Well that team called “Planet Earth” has been around for billions of years and our team “The Human Race” just started practicing together about 2,000 years ago. Carlin suggests that wee have no shot at that super bowl trophy. He basically believes that since the earth has gone through incredible changes that it will always survive. The problem is, WE might not be able to survive it. That trophy is our survival. Our race is trying to change the earth so that we can be able to remain alive, however, Carlin proposes the idea that maybe we are the fleas the planet needs to get rid of for his own well-being. This is very interesting because I think that he may be right. As I mentioned in my blog about Phelan I also said “we have no control of our planet.” However, I meant that we have no control over what is happening and we should attempt a more aggressive change. Carlin believes that it is basically useless and has no hope that we have a chance at survival. Looking at history, Earth has gotten rid of species before, why not do it again?

Ohhh SHIATTT! Sorry, prof.(Don't post this comment up). HAHHAHAHA Krystal, I loved the way you compared the competition as two football teams playing a game, whoever wins will get to stay on this Earth. You wrote on my blog that we need to live our life now and not worry about the future, I agree. You are not being selfish, we only have one life to live so we should be able to enjoy it while we can. If Earth did wipe them out before, it could do that to us now. It just may too.The thing is, we cannot stop it. I do not want to get into destiny and all of that, but as much as we try to stop the end of the world as we call it, it will happen anyway if it is supposed to happen. We cannot stop it, maybe delay it, but definitely not stop it. That is why we have to just relax, mind our own business and mind the welfare of those living now. Not those living thousands or even hundreds of years from now. Good job Krystal, thank God I am not the only one thinking that way :)
ReplyDeleteNow I know that I am somewhat contradicting what I have said in my blogs but the earth is not the only thing to remove species from the planet. Some hundred years ago humans removed the dodo from the world. Even today humans have altered the ecosystem by just climbing to the top of the ladder so to speak. George Carlin says that even though humans are trying to save endangered species and undo the damaged they have caused, it is to late. He also points out that humans just want to remain in control. We cannot give up the power that we think we so rightfully deserve.
