TSOTPPOVAU according to a local unauthorized philosopher (part III)

So, if you've been following you know this so far:

*Human behaviour tends to go from order to chaos back to order, bouncing in a rythmical symphony we call history.

*All the currents of though end up in their ultimate form being some sort of balance

*And as Camus said (didin't find the quote so this is paraphrase) "it doesn't matter how much tirany there will ever be, or the good intentions of the socialists, because human history has shown that we are driven only by a path of infinite freedom"

And maybe last point was not stated, but that is also something that an unauthorized philosopher must keep in mind.


So, by now I bet you have already though about this at least once in your life (if not, do not worry... just leave (jk)). It is important you know you have came far from the monotonous routine the system offers. But my dear dear friend, don't you think for a single second that just because you've reached high you've reached the top. Because you haven't.

Simply having socialist ideas mixed with reality's consience, stirred with the rod of world knowledge and served with existencialism does not do it. And it is important the unauthorized philosopher knows this, because one of the many facts of life is this: you will encounter in life people who have never had anything near this ideas. You will encounter those who cannot and will not even understand it. But that, I repeat, does not make you grand, because as it happens the fact that you were able to climb high only means there is people who were able to climb higher before than you, and long after you.


Clearing that out.



We chall proceed to understand that the human existence is not important, then to understand its real value. Because to understand the world that surrounds us, and the meaning of things we must first realize that we, are not the center of the universe. We must know how we are here mostly because of chance, some weird mutations and chance. The world was not made for us to rule, or else things would be different, and we have no right over other wildlife.

It is indeed difficult to cast away the antropocentrism in us, because sometimes it is deeply burried. And example is when someone says that the human race is the worse scum ever to exist, and that is has created nothing positive ever. But saying this just affirms the believe that the human is a special being that is supposed to have something good, to stand out and act correctly. Well, guess what, we are animals behaving how we best find benefical, even if that is stupid.

Another antropocentrical way of though that could generate debate, and finding the borders of it is up to every single person, is the other view that the human has a responsibility to take care of the other wild life. I know it would be argumented that if it's our fault that some specie was indangered because of us, it is our duty to make it up to it. But we must also understand, we are not special, we're just animals taking over the territory, the only difference is that the other animals have some equilibrium and have a way of coexisting that ends with not having overpopulation. That is what's makes us different, that apparently the "wild life" has better family planning than us.

So instead of taking a stance fo the other animals we should first take a stand for our specie and achieve the balance the others have. So yea, I also imply by this that we must work to protect the other animals that we adjust. And this is where the reader makes up their own idea about what should be done about this.



And now I leave you to think

What that you do or think that is truly antropocentristic but you though it wasn't?
