What Makes Us "Human"? Plan It For The "Apes", Because They Can't!

in #humanity6 years ago (edited)

Here is a meme I found on ........(I still did not) "delete facebook".

There are many confused and unfinished thought flashes in my mind, remembering the day, when I first, 10 years ago, signed up for Facebook but then, I read with excitement THE Steem White Paper in May 2016 and for me, one of the most important parts of the 44 pages document.

The reason why I am still HERE!

"Steem is committed to enabling free speech and building a free society." .....by @dan

This sounds to good to be true!

Censorship

Steem is a decentralized network that is operated by witnesses in jurisdictions around the world. All user actions are publicly recorded on the blockchain, and can be publicly verified. This means that there is no single entity that can censor content that is valued by STEEM holders.

Individual websites such as steemit.com may censor content on their particular site, but content published on the blockchain is inherently broadcast traffic and mirrors all around the world may continue to make it available.

Freedom of speech is the foundation of all other liberties and any infringement upon freedom of speech undermines the only peaceful means of reaching consensus: discussion. Without free discussion voters cannot be fully informed, and uninformed voters are a greater threat to society than losing the right to vote. Censorship is a means of stealing votes through limiting public discourse.

What makes YOU "Human"?

We.....Humans .......can indeed think about alternative futures and make our deliberate choices accordingly.

"Creatures", without the capacity cannot be bound at all into a social contract, taking moral responsibility and as soon as we become aware about what we cause, we may feel morally obliged to change our ways.

"So....be aware that all species of apes are under threat of extinction through human activity. We are the only species on this planet with the foresight capable of deliberately plotting a path toward a desirable long-term future. Plan it for the apes; because they can’t."- Source

People talk so much about freedom but do they really want it? What You do in your own world to achieve it?

I am sorry but I am a bit tired writing a lot at the moment, rather prefer nice discussions on my comment wall. Your previous feedback inspired me tremendously! Keep it coming!

I also will put a link for you from my very old "rants", various random thoughts, I wrote down 2 years ago.

Damn! It's been a long time I am here, trying to be "HUMAN", pouring out my heart and soul.

The best part is the "Fuck-it Bucket" list, in case you need it, open the following link.

How To Gain Your RIGHT For FREEDOM, The Tenability Of What You CAN Do Anywhere, ANYTIME!

Once again, I am puzzled about many things around me, what I observe in our communities, how some people behave to reach their goals, what ways they choose to succeed, get rich, powerful and influential.

Some would "sell their Grandmother" to the devil! Right? To get what they want!

I have to admit that I liked this platform much better back then, when it was more "cosy". I am aware that I should maybe explain what it is I dislike but at the moment I don't feel like.

I mostly agree with my dear friend Wale from African Views!

Freedom is not only the right but also the tenability of what you can do anywhere anytime.

Yours @mammasitta

Sort:  

Do you fully agree with the concept of the White Paper? 100%?

NOOOO

What time do you chat discord?

Join us ! discord.gg/EZTSpjM

Would be nice to see you there as well

pretty much but I am waiting for an improved version which is much needed, looking at steemit's dynamic these days. There are lots of flaws and they need to be corrected and fixed ASAP!

a lot of economics and very little sociology

Wundervoll ! ! ! Und auch noch auf Facebook gefunden !

"Steem is committed to enabling free speech and building a free society." .....by @dan

No censorship!

Auf Facebook werden die Kunstfiguren Kris Kind und Dr.Kristian Stuhl ständig zensuriert und gesperrt wegen entarteter Kunst, so nenne ich das :P Zur Zeit ist der Account von Dr. Kristian Stuhl seit über einem halben Jahr gesperrt und der Account von Kris Kind schon seit einem Monat wieder gesperrt, was das Posten betrifft, obwohl der Kris Kind Account vorher schon ein Jahr gesperrt war und ich dachte, er werde für immer gesperrt sein. Ich dokumentiere jeden "Verstoß" und warum die Sperre in Kraft getreten ist für ein Kunstprojekt gegen Zensur. Seit es Steemit gibt, teile ich nur noch die Steemit Artikel auf Facebook mi den Accounts die noch nicht gesperrt sind.

Aber das mit der freien Gesellschaft was Steemit betrifft teile ich nicht wirklich. Überall, wo Geld und Bewertungen ins Spiel kommen ist das mit der Freiheit so eine Sache. Alleine schon durch die Bewertungsnutzung verändern viele Nutzer ihr Verhalten, passen sich an, oder geben etwas anderes vor, um besser bewertet zu werden und mehr Geld zu verdienen. Klar kann ich hier alles sagen, was ich will, aber wenn es keiner hören will, werde ich halt ignoriert, stumm geschaltet, oder im schlimmsten Fall sogar geflaggt, oder ich verliere Reputation, die aber auch nur die Votes zustande kommt und nicht durch guten Content. Das Konzept ist zwar besser als Facebook, aber auch ein riesen großes Panoptikum / Panopticon.

Mich erinnert Steemit, die blockchain und überhaupt diese ganzen Social Medias eher an die black mirror season 3 episode 1

Hillerious!!!!!

This place is a flawed place with an amazing potential.

I choose to stay because I have faith in the potential, not because I am blind to the flaws.

But, yes... there are days and there are days.

But as long as I keep seeing families fed, children educated, artistic and social projects being carried on and a single smile on the face of a young mother who lives on the other side of the world... I think I will stay here.

Because It means it is still worth it, after all.

This is how my censored post on FB looked like in the end

This was too much for him and the Zuckerzombies:

Hahhaa! Brilliant!
But even steemit starts being weird!
Where will we go next?
I wait for @dan 😷

Der is genauso hamma!!!! 🤣 perfect to start a great awesome day fellas 😘😘😘💃🏻🦋🙏🏼😇💋

Hehehe! Yeah! It’s not a little fairy 🧚🏿‍♀️ at all.

Haha! 😂 der is super!!!! Like like like!!!!

Haha, funny :) me and my friends left Kazakhstan with this words... Kazakhstan is weird. Since that time I've been around the world but it only gets more weirder. Trump is a president🙈, Putin goes for another president term, Nazarbaev is still president. Europe doesn't welcome immigrants and refugees anymore. Seems like we have to buy an island and build our own country where honesty and kindness will be more valuable.

Let’s start building soon! 😳😝😂
I just don’t know where

I remember another old article now about utopia. Need to look for

It's really good article :) I would love to live in your utopia

I need a remake! Those were my first articles and I was never a blogger before 🙈

We live in a world of duality, there will always be a dark side of things...

What do you find weird about Steemit? (I have my thoughts but would like to hear yours...)

Nice to see you on one of my articles Petra since I follow your wonderful music for quite some time.
I just woke up, reading all comments and yours to answer is the most difficult one. I might have to write a whole new article. I still respect the concept but I have to admit that in recent times, I realized that some “humans” can be very annoying, disturbing and destructive through their egos and greed. I am actually frustrated because I have to admit my doubts about my dream for a “free society”.

Thanks, @mammasitta!

You know, the only freedom I have found so far is that of knowing the illusory nature of our mind. People look for perfection - i.e. freedom from pain (or pain in the ass people ;) ) only to find that pain is a part of life, a part of growing. Discomfort is what propells us forward to evolve. IMHO... but that doesn’t nean that we can’t participate to make the world a better place ;)

You speak my mind precisely! Yes!

We can’t stop to take step by step to make OUR and our children’s World a better place. I do my part as much as possible and as long as I breath. I have a “little” voice but I can scream very loud, if I have to. 🌸🙌

I HEAR YA! ;) <3

I pray it dont get wired mama

haha thats a good one !

it seems steemit are now turned like FB, steem platform can hold the appeal just like at the begining!

Pssssss! Don’t say that too loud hahaha

We've got the freedom to do anything, we've just got to realize that, I mean become really aware of it. It's all in our heads and we're the only thing stopping ourselves from being free and happy.
Once again, you've managed to put a smile on my face - both with this post and the one from 2 years ago (Fuck-it Bucket List might just be one of the coolest things I've heard).
God, it's hard to love yourself sometimes and to do what's best for you, but it sure is satisfying <3

I would love to believe that humans could put the focus on freedom, not conflict, nor laws, holding us back to achieve that!
That’s what I had in mind and that’s why I think that some of us should make that “fuck it” list :) to keep the “creatures” in check. I need to protect my heart every day.

For me being human starts with the value you place on fellow humans, do you see them as humans like you or do you see them as an end to a means. Yes we need our freedom total freedom but some would deny us that freedom simply because it gives them an edge at being better than the rest of us, better in terms of being richer, or being more famous or being more advantaged but at that point our humanity dies, it becomes a case of the "Animal farm by George Orwell" "Four legs good; two legs better,"

Still your boy @royaltiesboss-eu.

Wow! I haven’t thought about the animal farm! Should have added that one in the article.
Some deep thoughts here about our dying “humanity”. I am like a sponge of vibrations and it’s getting really weird wherever I look.

But it’s for sure super nice to meet you :) ...oh boy!

Its also super nice meeting you @mammasitta, you also shared deep thoughts of yours in the article too. The bottom line is that some of us are aware of our dying humanity and so with the right orientation we may re-awaken humanity, who knows.

Still your boy @royaltiesboss-eu

I post it one more time, spamming my own wall hahaha because I just remembered that I am still looking for paradise 🤩

https://steemit.com/utopia/@mammasitta/it-may-be-your-idea-of-utopia-but-it-s-not-mine-the-illusion-of-paradise

Wow I just read that article and I must confess that this is one ageless piece you shared here, to me utopia is an illusion, we try to create what we can't have, in Ken Follett's "Hammer of Eden", the main character Priest believed he could create an utopia for him and his followers but in order to achieve that he was willing to sacrifice and destroy another society, isn't that funny, destroy some other person's life to create an utopia.

Our world has never been perfect even from the onset, and it can't be, may be we can create some stability, albeit temporarily but never a perfect world never an utopia.
My own thoughts though, and we are all entitled to our thoughts another reason I think its impossible to have an utopia, because what you deem as perfect to you might be flawed to me.
All we can do is do that which is right and affect your world positively.
@mammasitta, you are just awesome and I feel honoured meeting you.

Still your boy @royaltiesbiss-eu

Magnificent article. That's why many people choose STEM and not Facebook or YouTube. Their censorship is helped by the STEEM. Good luck to you and Love.

Великолепная статья. Вот почему многие выбирают STEEM а не фейсбук или ютуб. Их цензура помогает STEEM. Удачи Вам и Любви.

Freedom is secret data

great one!!!!! the pics said it all dear @mammasitta

Read and follow this here as well @petrajordan as a part of my reply why I think even steemit is getting weird. I still believe in the STEEM blockchain though.

The ego-mind illusion is strong this days!!!! Everybody has to fight the own personal faith or ego or demons! Not from others! It’s like cleaning the appartment...!!!!!
The shit has to stop! Ego off-Heart on!!!! If Ego win-humans lost!!!! Kiss

Say it with the vibration of the MUSIC for always and forever
“Music is the weapon of the future” as Fela Kuti said
