Modesty
// Filed in: Human Basics
This effort was futile and I quit. The Human Creative Energy going into covering the body for modesty, art, ritual, entertainment, protection, identification, adventure and even killing was simply too overwhelming to look into. Here are few things to trigger your awareness on the topic but know I just quit.
Sustenance
// Filed in: Human Basics
This one gave me anxiety just looking into the legacy of food creation. I can’t even begin to approach this without falling to pieces, really. From processed to raw, from gourmet to basic, from soda drinks to water and we would need to approach those in each and every country! We eat, for life, for entertainment, for fun, for sport, for no reason at all in some cases. Humans+Earth=food creativity.
Consider the creative energy that has gone into food… (and try not to get overwhelmed yourself).

Worshipping
// Filed in: architecture
Where does one even begin here. The places where Human’s worship their gods, their ancestors or any number of other things to worship are as creative as it gets. In fact the resources used for these buildings were some of the finest available in nearly every location. Skip the “my god is bigger then your god” stuff here and just look at all the Creative Energy that has gone into constructing these.
Where we live
// Filed in: Human Basics
The homes we make for ourselves constitutes the very definition of infinite human creativity. Here is just a teeny tiny sampling. Do not judge the homes simply connect to all of the creative energy put into creating and inhabiting a structure to protect one from the elements - and to show off to a few friends and neighbors.
Crowds
// Filed in: entertainment
Going back to Roman times we can the human need for mass entertainment isn’t new. We like watching others perform. From small venues to stadiums we spend huge amounts of creative energy watch others - of course others spend huge amounts of energy entertaining us too.
The Speech
// Filed in: Human Achievement
The Speech. I have seen/listened to only one political speech in my life and I found it beyond tedious and devoid of anything meaningful at all so I am not really qualified to speak lovingly on the topic. That said, and out in the open, the shear amount of verbiage devoted to skillfully saying absolutely nothing via the political-speech-venue is something that cannot be described in any useful fashion.
The goal of a speech is to engage people you do not know to the point that they will do what you say, but you have to do this while saying nothing of real value, or real truth, because you don’t want to be held accountable later. Countless politicians in the last 5000 years have done just that and I imagine the Human Energy spent speaking and listening to such meaningless drivel would be enough to power the Sun for 1 million years.

Transportation
// Filed in: Human_travel
The immeasurable Human Energy devoted to getting from one place to another is beyond reason. It is as beautiful as it is creative. As absurd as it is elegant. What is remarkable is some machines are for fun, some for skill, some for sport, some for violence and some for mass travel and many serving multiple purposes.
