Once again, one of these tests makes a strange amount of sense...

Well, Seeley fucked up the quote from Demolition Man. But that's ok, no biggie.

So I've been reading Marx again, this probably wouldn't bear noting, but it has lead me to some interesting conclusions as to the nature of society and the earth. For those not familiar with the Communist Manifesto, Marx argues that all groups that attempt to correct society are inherently wrong. Reformers of the current society only serve to keep the oppressive regime in power, and prevent the uprising of the proletariat that must ultimately come. Curing the symptoms as it were, but leaving the problem in tact. Now as this applies to the earth, imagine the earth as a living breathing organism. An organism with an enormous lifespan. And what is the underlying drive of any organism? The drive that is even more basic than sex (in sexually reproducing organisms)? Self Preservation (or perhaps preservation of offspring, but that does not apply in this case). The human immune system works as a good model for the defensive nature of the earth. When a human is sick, the immune system creates anti-bodies to fight the disease. In a similar way does the earth funtion, it constantly undergoes changes in it's function that support different kinds of life. All life on the planet is just part of the greater life that is the planet. We are in a symbiotic (or perhaps parasitic) relationship with the earth, just as we are with organism inside our own bodies that help us to carry out functions of life. We can't destroy the earth, but we can destroy ourselves. Thus all environmental activists are as useless in my eyes as the social reformers were to Karl Marx. They are only attempting to delay the inevitability of an uprising.

Side note: If the earth were to wish to be rid of us, how do you think it would do it? Perhaps a virus? Viruses are tricky, always changing just when you think you got em pinned down. Perhaps this virus could attack the human population at it's root. Make them succeptable to all sorts of other little things... Make them unable to reproduce... Sound Familiar?
