The Future Rat Problem in Everett

 In Seattle they "took care of" the stray cat problem, reducing the stray population to almost nothing compared to other areas. In downtown Seattle there are virtually no stray cats at all.

But there is something that took over, two pests that carry diseases that can infect and even kill humans. Rats and pigeons, so many of them.

The pigeons are easy to spot, there are thousands and their fecal matter contains enough worms to kill off pretty much any wildlife. Not that any other type of wildlife is even possible in downtown Seattle, but the pigeons won't stay there, they'll spread out and infect surrounding areas until they've decimated all wildlife in western Washington.

The rats in downtown Seattle own the streets, at night you'll see them rummaging around the alleys. With rats they don't all travel at once, if you see one there are at least a dozen in the nest.

Scouts go out to get food and bring it back to the nest, most communal animals behave this way. As a species we learned that we cannot maintain the rodent population, so we adopted a species that would be perfect for reducing the pests, we call them cats.

But because we didn't want to accept the fact we were destroying the environment we started blaming the cats and dogs for the vanishing wildlife. In reality it is our own presence that is devastating the other populations, and only a few species can live in the environment we've created for us.

Of those species, only cats and dogs do carry very few illnesses that can infect us, the others can wipe out our populations in a matter of a few years. The irony being that many of the animals we've pretty much destroyed would prey on cats and dogs, coyotes, eagles, falcons, wolves, bears, etc.

Where cats and dogs can thrive, no other life can thrive but us, meaning we're the ones who drove out or destroyed the wildlife. Our very presence is has shaped the environment, and given we need wildlife it is time we accept the fact that nature gave us life which can live with us and embrace them.

The cat and dog, nature's response to our devastation of the wildlife, and we're destroying them now. In Everett I am starting to see rats who do not fear humans, rummaging for food without fear at all.

If you see one, there are a dozen in a nearby nest, and for every one you don't see there are several in the shadows watching you. This is the future of Everett, another rat infested diseased city just like downtown Seattle.

The scam of neutering and spaying is going to cost us our world, as we vacate these environments we have ruined it would take hundreds of years for them to stabilize and be reclaimed by nature. Given the lack of larger animals, without cats and dogs becoming the new organisms in that environment, many cities would never recover wildlife.

In nature the only constant is change, we've caused a lot of change and it's time we allow the change to just happen instead of swinging to the extremes that created the problems already. We will be replaced by rats, then when they go extinct because we're no longer here there will just be plants, we've already started a great reset of of the planet.

Everything Rides On This New Year

Privacy is one of those things every older person, or younger person who is not a critical thinker, seems to actually believe exists. But like any of the gods claimed to exist, privacy is a myth.

The reason is less obvious than the fact, it has to do with our social need to belong. This social trait, selected because a single organism is more likely to survive if the species knows as much about it as possible.

The problem is that the human species has become spoiled by the illusion offered by our manufactured caves, walls we build between us and the rest of the world. Eventually these walls are built in our own minds as well, the mind always reflects the world around it.

This creates an illusion of privacy, while we ultimately share everything when we think there is anonymity. This illusion is shattered by the internet, now we see just how much of our lives is truly public knowledge, and it frightens many people.

The intelligent people just enjoy riding the wave of reason and accept these facts as revelations granted by it. These are the people I want to address today; I know, talking about the silver lining is not my usual style. But hey, it's New Year's Eve.

When you realize that privacy is an illusion you will see that every detail of our lives is public knowledge, because we shared it with them. It requires no spying, snooping, breaking into computer servers, because we posted that information somewhere or filled out a questionnaire somewhere else.

Today kids are less obsessed with the illusion of privacy, they grow up no longer wasting energy worrying about such things and embracing the reason why we should not worry about it. By sharing our life, our details, the real us, we ultimately offer a way for other humans to know what we need and one of them may be able to actually help.

Islands are eventually swallowed by the sea, but a continent will last for a very long time and always leave traces of it's existence. For this reason we need to bind together, those who embrace reality, to stand against the ocean of deluded human minds who fear losing what they never truly had, the ones that want to hide behind delusion and mythology.

The effect of this discarding of illusions, delusions, and childish fairytales is that we all live longer. When an advance made by one who accepts reality is made, it benefits us all, no matter the age of the one who develops this advance.

For this reason alone we now stand firm against the destruction of childrens' brains, done by religious parents. The cure for death may reside in a brain lost in a fog of delusion, worshiping death only because their parents made them too afraid of reality.

We would all benefit from such a cure, so use this new tool called the internet to find those poor children and protect them from the delusion called god. The last thing the older generations can offer in return for what children are advancing today is a chance to advance even more.
