From the Earth´s perspective

Humans.

Just a small part of the earth.

But perhaps quite useful.

We are connecting different part of the earth with each other...

If the earth is a living being, and I´m sure it's so - we are his/hers brain cells.

The earth is beginning to think and explore the space and other planets

But it has a cost - the earth are beginning to get sick - it has fever.

So it will find solutions to cure it self.

Bill Bryson explains this in his much readable book "A short history of nearly everything" - he is witty, humorous and intelligent enough to explain the history of science in an understandable way.
Here he speaks about, for instance global warming.


In the book he writes about the climate impact of the increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide; "it has happened before and the Earth has recovered, last time it took only 60 000 years."

But I'm sure, if the Earth has a will, He/She doesn't want that to happen.
The Earth doesn't want it's "brain" to be demolished or severely reduced.

Bryson also tells us that more than 99% of all species in Earth has been extinct. Another view is that they have stopped to manifest, but are now seen in other manifestations.

Life is a melting pot, melting down individuals and species and then creating new ones.

But in the last time the melting pot as been too effective.

We human has created human like Gods and has, more and more developed a Anthropomorphic view.
if we can change this and instead put the whole world at the center of our thinking - much would be gained.
Internet is a way to connect all the "brain cells" and to create "big data" to solve very difficult problems.

Otherwise I'm sure The Earth will get rid of us, or we have to adapt to a much harder existence.

The Earth will also gain if all of us will use the bicycle more and cars less.

I use an E-bike to my job, it's 23 km away, but it's no problem. The bike paths are separated from the cars nearly the whole way. I get some exercise but are not exhausted when I'm there.

Cora Diamond on eating animals - with the help of Wittgenstein´s ideas

Image
Cora Diamond is a new name for me, even if she has worked as a professor in Philosophy in the states for a long time and is still  teaching at the university of Virginia, even she is over 80 years old. She has written a lot about Wittgenstein and that has helped her to express her view of the topic. Although she, like Wittgenstein,  has lived in a hut in Norway - and actually brought Tractatus with hes - she seems to be different and for sure more glad than W. Anyways, its W: s writings that interests her and especially his critics of metaphysics and ethics in philosophy. As it is said in Tractacus  : " Whereof one  cannot speak , thereof one must be silent." And of ethics philosophy should not speak - why? Is it like in Buddhism - its better to sit in silence and let know yourself, than to speculate about what will happen when we die? But for sure there ethical guidelines in Buddhism,  but the behaviors is often named skilful, not good (or bad). Another

I think, therefore I am NOT

So Descartes was wrong. He said that he could doubt everything about himself except that he was thinking. That proved that he existed. The word "I" is the central point here. What does it mean? Perhaps we are sure that we know the answer. Is it the thoughts? In that case - where are you when you aren't thinking? Is it your job, your title? In that case - what happens if you loose your job or change job? Is it your house, your nation? Under my course to be a mindfulness instructor, the teacher, Ola Schenström, made us ask to each other; "Who are you?" After each answer the question was repeated by the questioner.We soon discovered that there were no end to the answers - or maybe an adequate end could be; "I don't know."Or maybe; "It seems I have no essence." Other thinkers have come to the same conclusions; Buddha, Sartre and more recently Damasio and Parfit. Sartre, for instance, has said that we are the sum of our actions. We ha

Wittgenstein and Buddha -buddies?

Image
Ludwig Wittgenstein, the famous philosopher, reflected in the posthumously published  book "Philosophical Investigations" about the picture above; Is it a hare or duck?  He meant that we make, or must make, a statement what it is. And I suppose he meant that we often or always has to interpret the world around us. But two different interpretations can both be right! Language and thoughts controls what we see.....   You can compare with the picture of a glass. Half empty or half empty?  Who decides? Yes, it's you... And whatever you say is right.  But you can be aware of what you think. That can say more of yourself than of the glass....  You can be aware of that you always do interpretations of things that happens.  If you have a pessimistic or a naive point of view, you can be aware of the view and your statements.  Buddha and Wittgenstein were both aware of that different persons uses different perspectives.  But Buddha spoke about the "right
