Not many people understand the amount of devistation we as humans can cause, I was entralled to hear peoples responses being so positively towards my cause and ideas. While it is true a bug as far as science teaches us does not usually hold the same family values as a human, but all creatures desire procreation in its form. If it doesn't procreate it was not in a life worth living. However this wasn't the point of my idea here.
Many people have heard of the worst nuclear disastors we as humans accidently caused. This was not quite on the scale of the nuclearbombs dropped on Japan, which is still a controversial topic. Now people are probably reading this and going, hey wait what are you talking about?
I am talking about Chernobyl, why is this matched into my TED talk about animals, I'll show you. Human beings are probably one of the most fragile creatures for one thing. We don't adapt well, we don't take to kindly to change and we often has trouble adapting. This is why body temperature is extremely strange with certain people. Though once again where am I getting at. Chernobyl was a nuclear reactor plant, the fourth reactor one day had a massive calamity when a power excursion, the top of the reactor tore open and caused a massive leakage of nuclear radiation into the area.
Now humans and radiation do not mix well at all, so the people had to evactuate while a process of recovery was taken over on the entire idea. Now, back to animals and bugs, why is this important and if you think I am going to attack the survival partterns of cockroaches that is extremely small compared to the scale. Within about seven years the wildlife in the area became absolutely phenominal compared to when humans were all over there. This is one of the lessons that show one of the most dangerous things for humans can be a blessing for animals because it gets rid of the most dangerous thing to them... us.

I think this is a really interesting post about your TedTalk. I never knew much about Chernobyl nor have I ever really cared about insects for that matter. But I do care a lot about the environment and the harms that humans are capable of, and have done to deteriorate it already. It is interesting to see how well insects and plantlife can adapt and flourish once humanity has disappeared.
ReplyDeleteWell of course we don't adapt well. You know how hard it was for us to evolve to this point? LIKE FOREVER. You really expect us to adapt again. Hell no. We evolved enough to make cars that can move us away from danger, why bother developing immunities to stuff, I can be safe and listen to XM radio.
ReplyDeleteOk in all seriousness, this is a great point. Humans don't adapt. All this talk about global warming killing us, and if it does, I bet the animals figure it out before we can. They will out live us for sure. Very intresting.
This seems so interesting to me. I would not have drawn the same connection between Chernobyl and insects, but now I cannot wait to hear all about it. I agree, as humans we are not very adaptive, but we seem to have an attitude like we were. This should be a good talk, can’t wait to hear it.
