Randomings

I believe in the theory of evolution and adaptation of species. Humans are not the final manifestation or culmination of life; far from it. Whatever this network of consciousness which lives on earth is supposed to be or become, it certainly doesn’t care whether humans are part of the equation or not. Life will adapt itself no matter what other organisms are around or not. If an asteroid came down from the sky and wiped out humans, but other life forms still survived, they would immediately begin to re-adapt themselves into a balanced, but ever-changing system of co-systems. Nature is emergent in nature, and the path it takes is not decided by a single force or governing consciousness, but instead is paralysed by the fact that all systems are undergoing change at once and trying to meet their needs by adapting themselves. For this, the momentum and direction of nature is completely random and chaotic. Change the direction and momentum of the initial seed of life and you will have an entirely different history of evolution yielding completely different species. So we humans will eventually adapt and change into non-humans, just like the frog will adapt into a non-frog. For some species it takes longer to change because there might not be a need; they might be very well equipped to survive the way they are. Others might go through changes very rapidly. Either way, the ultimate goal of Life is to organise Herself into a stable, balanced system where all that would remain would be to experience the awareness of Her own self, human or no human around.
