A reminder

"What makes you think we don´t have religion, earthling?
We worship the Six-Legged Shoggoth!"

A little reminder that the only things (yes, only) which distinguishes humans from ants is philosophy, religion and art. Everything else we have, they have too. And they have it on instinct! 

There is just one problem. We have no idea which philosophy or religion is the true one. Is it Mormonism, Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism, Israel Only Full Preterism or what? Not to mention post-post-structuralism, Right Hegelianism or the Philosophy of the Cosmonomic Idea. 

Come to think of it, we have no idea which art style is the most beautiful one, either. 

But we´re the crown of creation, right?

Right.

  1. We probably can´t even destroy the world properly, although we might be able to destroy ourselves...

    Is Buddhism the only true religion?

  2. Henri Bergson actually said that the elan vital has two end points: humans and social insects!

    Ergo, Bergsonite vitalism is the only true philosophy.

  3. Work in some shoggoths in that philosophy and you´re done.

  4. Time for the Shaoshyant (or was it R Daneel Olivaw) to come back and save our axial age asses, I think.

  6. I don´t think a 10,000 year robot is interested in your brain substance, anon, but I suppose I could be wrong there...
