Actually I did. The difference is the miachines were using us as a source of energy. The Shinju tree is just reclaiming what belonged to it. It's chakra. Eventually all those humans will die and no one will be left to replace them. Then what?
You're thoughts on humanity are somewhat disturbing honestly. You are one of those guys who simply focus on the negative aspects of humanity completely refusing to see the potential of existance because of all the wars, bloodshed, etc. Comapared to Gaia herself human kind is still very much a baby and babies make lots of mistakes before getting things right.
I choose to believe that someday we raise above all this (if we do not destroy ourselves 1st) The thing you lack the most...is faith in your own kind. You are not the only one and that is sad. really
You did. The shinju attaches those humans to its root and uses their chakra to continually perpetuate their illusion. What happens when the chakra well runs dry?
They die.
alright. I'll bite.
regarding the Matrix, the machines constructed a way to farm humans. It's not completely out of the question to assume the Shinju can do something similar, to keep humanity going, or however you wish to phrase it.
Disturbing? I see. So differring views automatically results in one's side as being negative. What's sad is your lack of understanding--opinions as subjective--and your hubris, the same hubris that will drive most humans to believe in what you say.
Look past yourself and your species for a moment and let's ponder some things really quickly. (Here is where I'll direct you to watch a lot of TedTalks videos, really whichever ones grab your attention)
Humanity will destroy itself within the century #fact unless we change. My "negativity" is needed if we wish to see a change and wish to see our children live in a world worth living in. The current population boom in Africa holds the key, imo, to humanity's demise. doubling its population from 1 billion to 2+ billion will not speak well for Africa's wildlife, jungles, and the atmosphere as a whole.
Said population will need jobs because that's what we tell everybody, they can't be a member of society unless they have jobs. So now construction will commence and technology will boom in Africa.
This is where is goes to shit. Once Africa gets modernized, the already exponentially increasing co2 rates in the air will increase even more rapidly. Fishing is estimated to make 99% of all the fish we fish for to go extinct within half a century. This is the medium sized fish. Without the medium sized fish to regulate the smaller fish, the plankton that regulate co2 in the atmosphere will go unchecked, die, and form complete waste zones all over the ocean where no life can be sustained.
Can't you see, for the sake of the Earth and the creatures and life we share it with, everything would be better if we weren't around... UNLESS we do something about it. Unfortunately our egos won't allow that. Sigh
this is a very quick and rough respionse
