You're very right, I did not describe that thought very well and it's hard to grasp or formulate when English is not your first language.
Depending on whose perspective you take, you might become more signifcant or not. The universe will probably never miss me, I will most probably not have any impact on it in the big picture at all.
But yeah, I'm very significant to others and it's important to acknowledge that, although you might feel lost or insignificant when compared to a universe.
(Not sure if I got it this time, but it reads more positive at least.)
- egfx 7y agoMaybe instead of perspective you meant to say scale. I’ve had this pet theory on all this called the theory of the big and small. That is all the rules of the universe are repeated at scale. Think about this virus. Maybe just like we have antibodies the earth has antibodies to get rid of pollution. Its not a new theory but I first thought of this when I saved a bee floating in a pool with a stick. To me it was a simple gesture and to the bee it was divine intervention. Maybe perspective is limited by the mind.
- uryga 7y ago> Maybe just like we have antibodies the earth has antibodies to get rid of pollution i'm curious, why would it? is (or was) there something to encourage the Earth to develop "antibodies", like evolutionary pressure for living organisms?
- egfx 7y agoYes in an interesting way, I can see how bats with very sensitive echolocation can be reading cues from the earth, exchanging stress signals and becoming stronger viral reservoirs.
- uryga 7y agosorry but idg how are bats relevant to the kind of planet-scale immunity you mentioned
- egfx 7y agoIf you think about it bats like a very specific set of parameters in their environment. If this is off balance due to pollution or electric pollution then the bats can get stressed and in essence be taking cues from the earth that things are off balance. The earth is using the bat as an incubator of the antibodies to resolve this issue.
