Humans Are What They Are (and that ain't much)
copyright 2007 – Stephen Redgwell

Recently, older members of Earth's scientific community discovered that their planet was slowly disintegrating. At least, that's what they thought. These people have letters after their names, so there's no convincing them otherwise. They seem to think that billions of electronic signals from Gameboys, computers, GPSes, iPods and other modern devices are slamming into the planet's molecular structure, causing things to break apart. Hmmm...

The enlightened ones, the so-called, brilliant techno-thinkers, believe that their world is headed down the path to oblivion. To employ a colloquialism, duh! Planets only last so long. That's why the advanced races of the universe leave their home worlds, so their species will survive and grow. But it's not so much intelligence as it is the nature of things. Humans haven't discovered that yet. They still think that they're on the top of the food chain. If they only knew...

Let's not bother talking about the real reason why humans are here. Just try and explain to one that they were brought to Earth to be raised and fattened up for their meat. Try telling them that the planet is a giant ranch and they are grazing on it. Tell them that they're to be consumed at some later date, at our leisure!

They wouldn't believe it anyway. If humans are full of anything, they are full of themselves. They believe that their species is here for some great cosmic purpose. This trait was bred into them long ago. It keeps them docile and acts as a mental shield, should they accidentally discover that they are merely a bipedal source of protein.

It's fascinating to look into their eyes, in the last seconds of consciousness, as they plummet toward the rotating knives. During those few remaining ticks of their conscious clock, you can see the exact moment when they fully comprehend the utter hopelessness of their situation. Suddenly, they grasp their pathetic existence as livestock and nothing else. They are wretched humanity.

So let them think they are more than they are. Let them dream. Let them hope. Even the meagre must believe in something.
