Beschreibung

Over millions of years, homo sapiens has risen to become the most intelligent multicellular organism and is considered the king of creation. Today, however, he faces many problems. Will he spend another thousand years wiping out other peoples with his weapons, raping women and children and destroying the earth? How can he turn the tide? You are a member of humanity. You can help turn things around.

Foreword

Writings about humanity are a mirror of perception. In stages, mankind overcomes epochs that seem inhumane in retrospect, such as the slave trade or the witch craze. Awareness seems to be an indispensable prerequisite for peaceful coexistence. This essay is an attempt to understand our past and anticipate our future.

If the animal homo sapiens succeeds in solving the current problems, adding many epochs and ultimately defying the death of the sun, it will have earned its name, otherwise it will one day be mentioned in the history books of another species as a wannabe, with the postscript that it at least invented the pendulum clock and the plastic bag.

1 From the beginning

1.1 Matter, spirit and life

We distinguish here between matter, spirit and life.

What we can touch is matter. Even the smallest things, such as viruses or atoms, fall under matter because they have volume and weight.

We call everything else such as thoughts, ideas, time or energy non-matter or spirit because we can never touch it.

We divide matter into dead matter and living matter, or life for short.

Why, when, where and how life came into being is speculation. We assume that life had a beginning and will perhaps also have an end. Just as a species can die out and not come back, all life could also die out one day and not come back.

Personal life - leaving aside the spiritual and mental - always has a beginning and an end. We also speak of earthly life and do not exclude extraterrestrial life.

1.2 From division to thinking

The first life is based on the simple principle of division. Without division there is no continuation, because of the possibility of death.

The growing demands of the first life in terms of physicality, larger living space and faster locomotion require a higher energy supply. Converting molecules with the help of sunlight may have been enough for a single-celled organism, but not for the increasingly mobile luxury cell.

The multicellular organism finds the energy it is looking for in living matter. The principle of ingestion
