Complete Predictability

If the Earth's history were condensed into one (1) year, each day would represent 10,000,000 years. January 1st is the beginning of the Earth, and Midnight (12:00) is NOW! Today. It would go a little something like this:

- Jan. 1st: 3500 Million Years Ago.

- Aug. 1st: Multi-Celled Organisms First Appear (Sean Slater is also born in the year AD 1990).

- Nov. 1st: Vertebrates (Back-Boned Creatures) First Appear.
- Nov. 30th: Lungfish And Other Creatures First Begin To Live On Land.

- Dec. 1st: Land-Dwelling Vertebrates Appear.
- Dec. 15th: Winged Creatures Appear.
- Dec. 25th: Dinosaurs And Other Mammals Appear
- Dec. 31st: 6PM- Apes Appear

And Finally, One December 31st, At 11:58...Two Minutes Ago, Humans Appeared.


Humans are Nothing! Creatures have been inhabiting the land for 400 Million Years...Humans have existed for less than 1 Million years. We are petty...and yet we walk around this planet like we own the place. We are so conceited and self-absorbed...we ruin this planet that has been host to ourselves and countless other species for eons just to suit ourselves. In the great words of Greg Graffin in his song Watch It Die: "I was born on planet earth, a rotating ball where man comes first. It's been around for a long, long time...but now its time to watch it die."

35 Million years ago, there was a mass-extinction. Over 80% of the Earth's species were killed off. Mass extinction is nothing new, it's gone on for ages...In fact, we humans are here because of it. Had the dinosaurs never been wiped out, the mammals would never have been given the chance to evolved as they have, ergo Humans would not be here. Perhaps our planet would have been far better off...who knows. Mass-Extinction caused us to be here, and it will cause us to die off. It's inevitable, especially at the rate we humans are going. The human race will not always be here, and people need to realise that. In the end, all our troubles and petty worries mean nothing. They simply satisfy us, however fruitless they actually are. Why people bother toiling over power struggles within their companies, why people fight over things like oil, why we kill eachother, why people want to conquer this planet...it's all beyond me. I'd like to think that it's below me. Not to be conceited, but really. It means nothing. Just live your life to its fullest, keep yourself happy, and die anyways. We live, breathe, reproduce, and die. That's how it happens. Pessimistic? Perhaps. But it's the tragic future that awaits us all. We'll all run out of steam eventually, some of us sooner than others. None of our exploits will mean anything in the long run. Perhaps the next dominant species on this planet will look back and laugh at us for how much we toiled over such inconsequential things...I certainly hope so. It'd simply prove that what I'm saying is true.
