Our Strange Inheritance

Regardless, we can look back along the threads of time and see cells, co-operating to evolve into 'unified communities' within membranes, - in short, animals. Animals with an amazing variety of cognitive and active skills. Animals that probably know themselves, in ways we are not aware of, or cannot yet perceive - or so we are told. In the eyes of the animals is the story of their - and our - history, and our future, as well - for our destinies have always been intimately interlinked.

Our Strange Inheritance

It seems our species has come at to a point where we must deal with something I will call 'Our Strange Inheritance'.

Because humans alone evolved conceptual and physical technologies that have placed us effectively in stewardship of the world of 'larger animals', we find ourselves in a terrible dilemma, one where 'industry' and 'commerce' currently hold the keys to the future of the biosphere, and of many if not all of its 'more complex' inhabitants, including ourselves.

Our species was never 'granted' any 'stewardship' over the other beings here. Unless a cow walks up to you and gives itself to you personally - the idea that the 'Cow People' are 'ours to do with as we please' simply because we function and act in a different cognitive domain than they do is completely absurd. If anything, our ability in cognitive and active domains has granted us, in effect, a stewardship we have failed, nearly utterly, to understand or employ reasonably.

The fact that we operate in unique cognitive domains, does give us power. Power to explore and inter-create, or to ravage.
