–The human race needs an attitude adjustment, and Life After People should help provide a badly-needed dose of humility…
…mankind tends to think and behave as if it always has and always will be here, whereas in reality, it ain’t necessarily so. In effect, the human race is the new kid on the block, with a track record that can’t hold a candle to the dinosaurs, which we presume to call clumsy and stupid now that they’re safely dead.
Enter Life After People on the History Channel, initially a special but now a series. The show considers the durability of human engineering and creations given the impact of natural forces assuming that ole Homo sapiens is eradicated from the planet, and it ain’t a pretty picture. In a few hundred years, most of the cities are in ruins, and we see this spectacle through extremely realistic computer simulations. It’s sobering and humbling, as well as awesome to watch structures like the Empire State Building crumble and fall right before your eyes; there goes the Statue of Liberty again, after the decapitation it endured in Cloverfield!

I was kinda surprised by the outcome, but nonetheless pleased that the Mafia bested the Yakuza on Spike TV’s Deadliest Warrior match-up. I had thought that the Yakuza’s martial arts training would make the difference, but there’s a lot to be said for street fighting techniques and the use of environmental weaponry too, things that the Mafia excelled in.

–<sigh>–The daily grind…in a treadmill going nowhere, just like the legion of other hamsters spinning in their circular treadmills on the roadway…how futile…how meaningless…how very existential!
–It is perhaps bias that generally causes us to think that only mammalian species display intelligence and evidence of learned behavior. Certain invertebrates also display intelligence…
