USDA Spent $1 Million To Make Bird Flu More Potent
Did the Biden Administration Suffer From Hubris or Stupidity?
In his essay “The Last Messiah“ (1933), Norwegian existentialist Peter Wessel Zapffe used the Irish elk (or giant deer) as a metaphor for humanity.
The deer had giant horns that led to its extinction because they were just too unwieldy.
Human consciousness, hyper-aware of mortality and meaninglessness, according to Zapffe, became a crippling evolutionary burden leading to an existential dread that will eventually lead to our extinction.
It sounds as if Zapffe’s version of humans was godless crybabies who whine themselves into extinction, not with a bang, but a whimper.
We haven’t willed ourselves into extinction just yet, but when and if we do, will it be because of existential dread, acute stupidity, or hubris?
