Reflections on Mankind and the Human Imagination

There is hope out there, you just have to know where to look.

The human spirit has never progressed because of hating itself. In this day in age, with media blasting all over our lives, it is nearly impossible to appreciate being a human being.

The current media, bombarding our senses, makes us forget all of the achievements made by humanity in science, mathematics, philosopy, medicine, engineering, literature, recreation, art, and exploration. Sadly, more and more people are becoming misanthropes. On youtube, most videos pertaining to the human race are negative, talking about the end of the human race, and how hateful and violent we are.

We are a part of nature, as is everything else. And like everything else in nature, we have flaws and faults. That does not excuse our past and present actions of malevolence. But to despise who you are, and wish away your existence after everything we have achieved in our short period on earth is not the solution.

In this day an age of UFO hysteria, many compare humans to the potential ET visitors as 'inferior' and 'primitive.' The transhumanist movement belittles the human being, also saying that we are primitive, and the only way for us to evolve is to become machine.

We are NOT a primitive people. We have accomplished much during our short period on earth. Many take that for granted and simply want to 'erase' the old history of mankind in favor of a brave new world vision.

Review history and find that there is more to the 'world of darkness' view that many would believe today.

At first I was like "meh", but then I was like *chills*.

[d2eux]

@SpazzyMcGee1337 interesting, what part?

[spudnick3490]

Only 400 views!? Thats BS but the video is astounding...

You sir have a talent!

[d2eux]

Thank you, it took a lot of work compiling the images but I am glad a few people are getting something out of it. And I am not sure why it has received so view views in comparison to other videos calling themselves "tributes" to humanity. Maybe I should reanme the video?

[superhive]

Thank you for this tribute. It is sad how few people have seen it. Still, it is wonderful and made my day to find it.

[d2eux]

glad you enjoyed it my friend!

Breathlessly brilliant and moving, should have 5,000,000 views

[SpazzyMcGee1337]

@d2eux Oh, I don't know which part. I'm pretty sure it was just the culmination of everything up until that point. The slow music made me doubt whether I would like it or not, but the dignified sound and the plethora of objects and accomplishments genuinely worth being proud of tipped the scales. It wasn't exactly life changing, no Pale Blue Dot, but I felt it was well worth my time even if simply for its originality (or the fact that I don't see much like this should many similar vids exist).
