			Compared to the length of time the Earth has existed, humans have 
			only been here a very small fraction of that period.
   
			One thing that is very confusing about our biological 
			classification is that we are labeled as mammals and part of the 
			animal kingdom. However, mammals do not behave the way we do. I 
			realize that our classification has more to do with our biology 
			rather than behavior, but hear me out.    
			Our behavior is so unique that it aligns with 
			something else - something not living at all.
   
			 
			
 Mammals share specific characteristics which separate them from 
			other animals.
   
			There are different types of groups of mammals such 
			as bats, carnivores, cetaceans, elephants, marsupials, primates, 
			rodents, treeshrews and many others.    
			They are found all over the world in all different 
			climates. They nurse their babies with mother's milk, maintain a 
			constant internal temperature, protect their young, have hair, more 
			developed brains and many other shared physical features.
 All mammals strive to instinctively:
 
				
					
					
					maintain a natural equilibrium within their 
					ecosystem
					
					consume nutrients to maintain a homeostatic 
					balance
					
					reproduce up to the limitations that natural 
					resources can provide 
			Modern humans don't follow any of the above 
			instincts, if they have them at all.
 Humans:
 
				
					
					
					destroy the natural equilibrium within the 
					environment they inhabit
					
					expend energy and resources to destroy cells 
					within the body
					
					reproduce to the point of exceeding the 
					capacity of natural resources of the host environment
					
					will latch onto other environments to repeat 
					the same process and will teach other humans to do the same 
					thing 
			Behaviorally, there is no other mammal that does what 
			humans do.    
			Our capacity to destroy our environment makes us 
			practically pseudo-living organisms in this respect.
 There is one other organism that does mimic our behavior. It's 
			called 
			a virus. Viruses have insinuated themselves into the genome 
			of our ancestors for hundreds of millions of years. They typically 
			have gotten there by infecting eggs or sperm, inserting their own 
			DNA into ours.
   
			There are 100,000 known fragments of viruses in the 
			human genome, making up over 8% of our DNA.
 Unlike mammals, what's interesting about viruses is that 
			
			they're not 
			alive. They don't grow, produce/utilize their own energy, cannot 
			independently reproduce, or move on their own. Are human beings 
			headed in the same direction?
 
 As soon as humanity stops living like a virus, 
			
			consciousness will 
			evolve to an infinite source of power, abundance and prosperity for 
			our species.
   
			The only thing we need to do is recognize it.
