6th MASS EXTINTION 10/18/2014
All this Near Term Extinction stuff with all the hand wringing and anguish and OMG cubed is on the wrong track. Hello people, this is the 6th mass extinction, not the first. It is not the 2nd mass extinction. It is not the 3rd mass extinction. It is not the 4th mass extinction. It is not the 5th mass extinction. Am I getting a bit repetitive? That is the point. Mass extinctions are repetitive and this is the 6th, which comes after the 5th and before the 7th. This is the 6th one in the past 500 million years. That’s an average of 83 million years between mass extinctions. The last one was 65 million years ago so it’s not like we just had one and here we go again.
Us Earthling humanoids think we’re sooo special. And you might say that we are somewhat unique in that we get to be first hand witnesses to a once in 80 million year event. We carry on about the 4th of July …..240 years ago, and Christmas…..2020 years ago, and Halloween……3 or 4 thousand years ago, and here we are having and once in 80 million year event, and no one is celebrating??
We’re all watching that stupid television and going to stupid movies when we’ve got STARWARS, THE ROAD, DOOGIE HOWSER, ANIMAL HOUSE, and 1984 all going on at the same time right before our eyes.
We don’t need smarter inventers to produce a perpetual motion machine. We don’t need smarter biologist to make a vaccine for Covid. We need smarter writers to create an atmosphere of enjoyment and celebration for this great event. Where are the innovative marketers when we really need them? Everyone is all ate up with numbers…… Dow is down 400. Royals win 4 in a row. McElroy shoots a 68. CO2 is at 400ppm. Alabama is number 1. This is 1 in 80,000,000.
Extinctions are currently happening at thousands of times the background rate. And we Humanoids are the cause. Congratulations to my fellow Americans. We are leading the pack. We are the most consumptive and emissive of all the 7 billion Earthling Humanoids that are creating this 6th mass extinction. Think about it. Rejoice. It’s something to tell your grand kids about…………no wait a minute.
