The Bubble of Human Stupidity

 The Bubble of Human Stupidity

It would be an impertinence to look at the knowledge of the past with the same eyes as the stage standard of the art of contemporary scientific knowledge.

Our ancients made a much greater heuristic effort to understand the universe than our best students did to understand the world in which they lived.

They did not have telescopes, nor microscopes, nor did they think of a system of logic to support their first a priori deductions, because everything was yet to be invented and everything would have to be discovered, from numbers, with a reliable numerical base, to the first rules of syntax and elaborate the first grammar to be able to register and express ideas in a coherent and unambiguous way even without knowing what ideas are, even without knowing that principles should precede statements, even without knowing that they would have to create the concept of knowledge, and the concept of facts, and the concept of truth.

Everything was a blank book, in fact, they didn't even have books, everything would have to be memorized and passed on in the form of poetry and music, until they invented papyri, then they invented parchment, or vice versa, to write permanently. notions of things and record facts and discoveries.

Explanations about the origin of things, the origin of the sun and the moon, the origin of life and things, then, as everything was born from the earth from a seed, and animals were born from the generation of other animals, they did not even suspect that could exist animals as small and as deadly as the Covid19 virus, then the invisible world began to be speculated as much as the visible world.

The same advanced science we have today judges the science of the past as superstition and mythology, this same modern and contemporary science will be judged five thousand years from now as superstition and mythology. Because we live in a transient and precarious state of the art of knowledge, therefore, we cannot judge the past without contextualizing the timeline, it would be a mistake that we are not being allowed to incur to respect the epistemology and ontology of human knowledge that follows the line nor always progressive in time, we go through setbacks and setbacks because of our still atavistic nature that makes wars and murders the similar being, and divides the earth into pieces called countries where they try in vain to obtain advantages from positions defended on the imaginary line of borders that they are not even visible from the ground or from space when we look at photos of the earth it is not possible to know where one country begins and the other national State ends, they are just mental and irrational divisions that would have no meaning for a time traveler or for a to be a non-terrestrial inhabitant.

We failed with survivors of the earth but it is still time to understand the true reason for living on a single planet whose divisions are artificial and difficult to be maintained, causing wars and difficulties in making people move freely, which prevents the well-being of each one, including the oppressors who spend half of what they earn to protect themselves from other human beings with expenses that would not exist without mental boundaries starting with padlocks, locks, computer passwords, property registry records, data encryption systems data, the heavy bureaucracy of records of everything we do throughout our lives, from birth registration to registered death, permits, licenses, all of this consumes an enormous amount of resources and wealth that could be dispensed with the heavy doors of a automobile consume raw material to keep away from the hands of others, with the armored glass of cars, a car without protection systems could be 75% lighter made of lighter materials in the same way the houses wasting materials to resist like a castle against the invasions of others, the banks with their expensive security systems, the people employed in the industry of security, guards, police, weapons, uniforms, training, selection of security personnel, alarms, cameras, surveillance systems and ever more complete and impenetrable espionage, the cost of dishonesty and fear will annihilate us as a living species by crushing us and suffocating us, turning us into each other's silent enemies perpetually.
