The Impact of Racism on Human Intelligence and Earth's Future

RACISM IS GOOD FOR THE EARTH

Before we begin criticizing the topic itself, let’s recheck what racism means in the current world scenarios. Let’s explore its hidden impact on our planet.

Racism: A perception of considering their similar kind as lower or downgraded.

Since we humans are so intellectual, this intelligence often indulges us in things that appear soothing at first but apparently end up collapsing the social system we humankind need as a home. You can check out my previous article: "Before Humans Extinct" for this. Even though we all agree that “With power comes responsibilities”, we do not realize that the same is true for being smart and intelligent. The intelligence being a crucial power, can clearly be visualized with Homo-sapiens being on the top of variant smart species on earth.

Racism & Intelligence

So, what brings us to racism being associated with intelligence? The question and the concern are quite correlated. I believe that some of you may have caught me already as to what this topic is going to bring. If not, I am on it. Just stay with me a bit more.

The more we humans reach technological advancements, the more our home planet is being abused and destroyed. No matter how many groups, NGOs, and government initiatives are trying their level best to educate people, nothing seems to be working and nothing is fruitful for Earth as a whole.

A Safe Haven for Humanity

So, is there a way we all scattered humans can follow one direction of prioritizing cleanliness and purifying our home planet? Unfortunately, that seems highly unlikely.

How many years have humans dominated Earth? Most scientists think that people who look like us—anatomically modern Homo sapiens—evolved at least 130,000 years ago from ancestors who had remained in Africa. And the most recognizable human intelligence emerged around 50,000 years ago.

If we read through, the whole of human history is filled with wars, quarrels, and fights over resources, which seems fair until some point as that is our DNA. We are genetically evolved like this, just as other animals fight for food and territory. But the problem arises when we stand out as too smart to deplete limited natural resources to the level of planetary abuse, which in turn makes our home nearly uninhabitable unless we start traveling to other interstellar bodies and set up bases on other planets like Earth. I’ve already discussed this in depth in one of my previous articles: "Could You Be from Mars?"

Nature's Repair

Nature knows how to restore the balance. It just requires time, and human activity may only accelerate or delay that process. But for now, just leave it to nature. It knows better.
