Thus, there is only one POSSIBLE explanation of such infinite
stupidity, betrayal, and cowardice. The human species is radically,
ontologically, spiritually, existentially defective. There can be no
excuse in this or any other universe, whether there is a God or whether
there is not a God, for how we are dealing with the ultimate (and
TOTALLY solvable) challenges of human existence.
The Beast is the God of this planet because humans are cosmic slobs bound for an appropriate and inevitable extinction.
Victims, hell! We are allowing EVERYTHING and the Earth is probably
holding its breath until Homo sapiens reap the inevitable extinction
fruit their pathetic defectiveness has sown.
300 more years, tops.

Addendum: I almost didn't add this because it's going to be tip of an
iceberg (as opposed to a monograph), but I know in my quarks many
readers (pro or con) are going to challenge me with being a member of
the very species I am throwing into the trash heap.
Not a problem. Over the millennia, many Homo sapiens have
"transcended" their species. Not physically or biologically perhaps
(even though suddenly computer/android possibilities are exploding),
but in ways impossible to briefly articulate.
May we go back to "consensus reality" (a good jumping off place)?
Consensus reality is basically the mind set of the human species. The
context for this is simply out of reach in a mere "addendum", but it is
similar to the ancient oriental intuition of "maya". Consensus reality
is a language/thought version of life. It's what we see when we look at
raw givenness "through" totally arbitrary and programmed though-forms
(the Hindu/Buddhist name/rupa).
The thinking about point of view, for example, presumes to put
reality into perspective (from what vantage point, one wonders). It is
also the essence of what we mean by words like ego/personality. The
famous "separate self" (separate from the equally famous "external
world") is the fundamental identity of human beings.
But, this is really an intelligence embarrassment since NOTHING is
"separate from" reality and equally NOTHING is an island of self
existent being. Sorry about the philosophical jargon and I will shut up
about all this as soon as possible.
The point I am struggling to articulate is that just because you have
two legs, two arms, and a head may mean you are a certain kind of life
"form", but life is n-dimensional and you may be a VERY different being
beyond the relative appearance.
Any speculation about a deep connection between the profoundly
defective Homo sapien species and "consensus reality" (a criminally
simplistic version of the reality/universe) is beyond the scope of this
paper, but it is almost certainly true that this effectively universal
mind set has programmed our species to act out delusion.
Life is clearly a unity in process and eternally beyond the reach of
pseudo separate selves and arrogant thought (basically, internalized
language). Thought is the long arm of conditioning, but liberation is
groundedness in transcendence. Only if and when the human race realizes
that "awakening" (to use that beautiful word) is not that the dreamer
finally wakes up from the dream but that SOMETHING MORE REAL THAN THE
DREAMER wakes up from the dreamer, will the human species be free.
Some readers may feel offended that our species is being discounted
(hey, ye shall judge them by their fruits), but miss the affirmation in
the addendum that (however radical this may sound) our species is
almost irrelevant.
