This Year, As Every Year, There Was The World Ocean Day With An Online Conference In Which Everyone Could

This year, as every year, there was the World Ocean Day with an online conference in which everyone could participate.

What was presented there was thought-provoking and full of potential. Scientists described what humanity will face if certain tipping points are reached, and they also presented measures on how the political systems and society can be transformed to avoid reaching these tipping points and triggering a cascade that can be reversed. This would have a positive impact on life on the entire planet!

But what can we say? It doesn't seem to be particularly important for those currently responsible in politics and business.

So no matter what we do ourselves for personal reasons, just cycling, shopping sustainably or supporting small projects that are sustainable in action or by helping out, it's just a drop in the ocean.

We do what we can here and annoy our leaders with emails, petitions, elections and whatever else is in our power.

But creatures that are only around eighty years old are probably not in a position to think ahead into the future to understand what really needs to be done to preserve a species and indeed itself.

As long as we believe that we are the crown of creation and do not want to recognise that we are only a small particle in a mega complex system, we will unfortunately fail completely in the long term. But there is hope! We can change our perspective and start thinking about the bigger picture.

It is so important to remember that the more pieces of the puzzle we remove from the whole system, the more we will affect it when the puzzle stops working.

If you're affected by extreme weather, don't cry!

It's just Mother Nature doing her thing.

If you're feeling the effects of climate change, don't fret! It's just God's way of testing us.

If you're feeling the effects of droughts, high water, and other climate-related challenges, don't worry! It's just God's way of showing us that we need to be more mindful of our impact on the planet.

Have fun with God's punishments and remember that if God does everything, he probably invented science to bring us closer to him.

As an addendum, we call him, her, it * God because we don't care what you call him exclusively.

A study by Swedish scientists has shown that the more often you deal with ageing, the faster you age.

We are very sorry to have to inform you that all those who took part in the study were around thirty years old but now look sixty.

If you want to substantiate a fake study, you should always mention Swedish scientists in the sentence.

Or can the statement be true that whoever deals with that becomes the one with whom he deals?

Our tip is simply not to think about it and if it hurts, it's just a sign that you're still alive.

Greed

It is erroneous to suggest that greed is a personal super skill, regardless of the marketing buzz that may convert it.

When the top of the self-actualisation pyramid is reached and money is only about zeros and decimal places on bank statements, something has gone wrong.

Money generated from exploitation and injustice may bring prestige in a society that is able to morally ignore the background, but nothing good comes from bad.

Betting on high grain prices on the commodities exchange and winning and then setting up a poor kitchen in New York can't hide the fact that people in the third world can no longer afford grain.

Charity is mostly just a cloak that isn't really filled with charm but just a marketing tool to look better.

Every choice reveals something about the individual who makes it. However, it is preferable to have a choice than to be forced into a particular course of action.

The phase of human development characterised by reaching sexual maturity is known as "adolescence". In this phase of life, which is characterised by a multitude of changes and challenges, the foundations are laid for the rest of life.

Nonsense, it's simply cool

Let's look at the concept of hell. It is a concept that is easy for humans to grasp, and yet there are other elements that are diametrically opposed to the concept of heaven.

Black and white are perceived as the opposite. One might wonder why sulphur is seen as the opposite of clouds.

If there is no religion, one could theorise that the earth is the hell of a pangalactic dimension.

This could be considered an evil string theory.

It could be argued that those who have committed truly heinous acts in other universes end up on Earth.

One might wonder why Earth is assumed to be a hell.

In fact, it can be observed that patterns of behaviour have been repeated since time immemorial. Perhaps most disturbing is the tendency to fight each other over issues such as land, ideology, religion, power, influence and money.

When it's not war, it's peace, and when it's peace, it's war. One step forward, one step back.

Alliances are made, alliances are broken, power and influence are sought, spheres of power and influence are established, greed, arrogance, pride, vanity and Nazism are accepted. Personal gain is sought.

Everything that has happened in the course of history has been part of a larger, cyclical pattern.

The rise and fall of empires is an example of this eternal pattern. Hatred, lies, envy, marginalisation and other negative feelings are also part of this cycle.

It can be argued that there is love and goodness in the world, and therefore both heaven and hell are likely to exist.

It is an eternal battle between light and shadow.

If we observe the world around us, it is obvious that it is not a hell in certain parts. It is not bound to places. Rather, it is a matter of time, place and circumstance. When these elements come together, evil manifests itself.

The existence of hell depends on the actions and intentions of those who create it and is not a pre-existing entity.

Hell is just another word when humanity is absent.

The author has provided a concise overview of the findings that can be derived from scientific studies.

While the parameters can be readily identified, it is evident that capitalism, despite its promises, has not delivered on its promises of prosperity and has instead brought about a great deal of suffering and disappointment.

That is still a nice way of putting it.

We must develop a new utopia that can fail on its own initiative to address the challenges of tomorrow. The current system of capitalism, which places the greatest value on the creation of value, will ultimately fail and fail to the maximum extent.
