Gaia and Her Avatar

Some days ago, i watched SciFi, you know, Star Trek Anniversary...

where a kind and intelligent astronomer talked about the “reality” of SciFi. In this context he said, that life is likely to be very common in the universe, but despite of this, humans may be very rare because of the complexity of their bodies and brains...

but the scientist wasn’t Prof. Lovelock, so he didn’t mention (or even see?) the simple, basic precondition for the complexity of a single race:

the complexity – and stability – and longevity – of the informative cycles creating an environment, where information is a so overwhelming part of all state-creating action for a so long, long time, that information processing systems are able to develop into multi-hierarchical systems...

Gaia: the totality of all the cycles of life on an “Earth”, a life-capable planet...

The Gaia of a planet decides the complexity of her individuals – and if the Gaia isn’t mighty, the most intelligent subsystem of her can’t be very mighty, too...

so actually – WE are the species representing the power of our Gaia.

We are the Avatars of our Earth, representing her continuity of processing, her balance of cycles, her ability to recreate complex biospheres even in case of global catastrophes...

and what do we do?

We try to reduce her, to beat her...

to “subdue the Earth”...

please, can anybody tell me, why we disgust suicide-attackers? Because they kill others by killing themselves?

All the believers of religions of subduing Gaia...

are nothing else than that.

No other species depends more on Gaia than the most developed one.
