"We do not inherit the Earth from our parents but we borrow it from our children"

The African proverb human species says he knows many things. Reductionist science insists on the assumption that we are a "smart" and that, unlike the "lower" animals, we have consciousness. But because many scientists have recognized a unifying vision and explained that consciousness does not depend on thought or brain, which is much more and that all living beings possess, while this is the quality that fosters their self-organization. (1)

From this mistaken idea which many still cling, part the idea that we are "superior" beings, since we have this enormous capacity to transform and destroy the environment at will. The evolutionary concept brought to light by Darwin of eugenic ideas. In fact, its original book is called: The Evolution of Species by Means of Natural Selection or Maintenance of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Existence , so it's no wonder that Hitler based his book Mein Kempf (My Struggle) in east of Darwin.

As stated by M. Sadin, "Darwinism is scientific appendix free market theory of Adam Smith" (2) . Both theories, that of Smith and Darwin have in common the following idea: to praise the competitiveness and survival of the fittest in the struggle for life. This fascist ideas have led to an interpretation of reality as a perpetual war in which only the strongest survive.

This has supported the rampant exploitation of nature, conducted by media as low as the extensive use of pesticides, the devastation of forest areas, the indiscriminate extraction of raw materials, without foreseeing the risks of contamination consistent. Since the Second World War, thanks to the research of Nazi scientists who later emigrated to the U.S., began to be used massively against everything that poisons our vision "superior" considered harmful or uncomfortable for our survival on earth. And while living in aseptic houses, maintain the operation of our technological society means dirty as nuclear energy, which generate waste that only cease to be harmful to life after more than 50 000 years. (3)


Continue this pattern of behavior does not seem to be an act "smart." Most people have some reference to these issues, and as always we split into factions on the usual left and right, in this case occupied by the economy and ecology topics.
Economists believe that everything is "in order" with respect to the career of "progress" and explained that radioactive waste tucked into sealed steel containers will be safe as many years that it takes the human race on earth . They argue that nuclear plants are "safe" and that nothing escapes into the atmosphere, hiding under the rug all cases of pollution generated disease in people who live or work near these, ignoring accidents such as Chernobyl, or more closely that of Fukushima in Japan, whose damage are yet to be seen.

economy-ecology dichotomy placed in very awkward positions to both. Economists just want to look to one side, defending the speed and the so-called "progress." But it is impossible to move forward quickly with a bomb strapped to your feet. On the other hand environmentalists are labeled as deluded by those who believe they have "feet on the ground" on economic grounds by those who accept the need for a slowdown of the economy, a decrease, in order to restore the damage done to our ecosystem and exploit resources differently.

promote the values \u200b\u200bof cooperation and coexistence, as proposed by the ecology, is opposed to the Darwinian approach to competitiveness and the struggle for life. The view that living things are not edible or usable by humans, must be eliminated from the face of the earth, to facilitate our expansion as being "superior" is a similar fascist premise of wanting to eradicate all the other alleged race human benefit the Aryan race.
However, there are many scientists whose research shows that Human beings are just one species in the web of life, that everything is interconnected, it is not possible or objective, you want to delete a part for the benefit of the other, as what matters is the harmony of all, where each party has the same importance. (4)

The human species has about 50 000 years of existence on Earth, and carry less than 100 years using massively polluting poisons in agriculture. Since the industrial revolution until today (almost 300 years) and have polluted all the rivers adjacent to human settlements and the sea is full of radioactive waste. Ecosystems are being destroyed with the same speed with which we invent new machines. Contaminated agricultural products are consumed, and even knowing that there are studies showing the relationship of various diseases such as cancer, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, with cumulative toxicity levels in the body by eating these foods, the majority prefers to giving the farming side, siding with the economy as more important to save money than health. Moreover, the pharmaceutical industry stands to gain with this, since the higher number of patients, more drugs get sold and higher profits.

This evidence shows that human are not rational or objective, nor take into account the future. Humans are more visceral and destructive animals whose selfishness and ignorance keeps them in as deep a state of slavery to the "formal" system they do not even have any energy left to notice. They are afraid of everything that does not know or understand, and therefore reject it. See the rest of the animals as brothers but as "things" to be used for their benefit. Those who can be eaten are given an abominable life, they are fattened with hormones and then kill them and sell at the supermarket. Those not used to eating, are eliminated from the face of the Earth by dangerous or useless. Humans, when they have problems of coexistence and power struggles, wars unleashed fierce where the sophisticated arsenal deployed technological advancement has allowed them to develop. And meanwhile, continue to consume the news that regurgitate the official media barely questioned its veracity.

who has not been portrayed in the previous paragraph is that it is awake and has the potential to make a conscious choice. It is never too late. Yes, Earth is at a point that seems not to retreat, but our position on this is relevant. We can all contribute to this awakening will spread to other beings. Give thanks for every bit of life around us, and respect her and cradle her as part of our being, is the mission we assume.

Thanks for existing. María Villares

The new concept of cognition is thus much broader than thought. Includes perception, emotion and action: the whole life process. In the human kingdom, cognition includes language, conceptual thinking and all other attributes of human consciousness. The general concept, however, is much broader and does not necessarily thought.
