Way dealing with the nature

The humankind and the nature

- the main topic : The characteristic of humility that being effected by nature and influences on.

The nature, known as we know in the diverse form of media like film, novel, and documentaries public have been easily get, has been stated as

the one closely connected with human community surrounded with the plenty of beings--regardless of entity, including what in the form of organism that capable of resulting in deadly consequence as many people have seen in the film.

First, as an example of it, the new york film <Gaia>, which deals with the non-boundary between humankind and botany. The female protagonist confronts with the totally brutal event happened by unexplainable supernatural phenomenon that her male partner is cruelly turned into the half-organic being that attributed to wide-spectrum natural materials widely spreaded from the unidentified mushroom in the unnamed forest. And then the lukeworm-coloured mushrooms exit out of the skin of him with bloodbath. Now the female, along with the unknown residents in that place, is faced with surrealistic happening beyond the realm of the on-the-logic science and they divide themselves by the reason of receiving given power of nature: can the event we face be defied as either mother-nature or the curse of nature itself given to humanity? At the end of the film, the female protagonist combines herself into the renewed nature maker juxtaposed as the mother of offspring--Mother means nature independently recycling itself and refreshing all of things that consist of it, and Offspring implies humankind completely dependent to nature. Besides, simultaneously, her body form has slowly been transformed into what filled with mushroom and mold, as well as the one of resident stands on the death by nature as he has to be, then, in the end, the son of resident runs out of that place and begins to accept his own life as a humankind connected with nature.

  These type of things have all-over-the-world commonplace at once, which is that contemporary humankind already approached upon the level of quasi-god(near-god)position in which, according to the scientific results onto the public, they are able to--may consider arbitary themselves--change the destiny, the explainable thing the Wittgenstein who established so-called theory known as a mathmatic philosophy based on as the logically-induced lingua-context relationship as those like Lacan, Soussiure, and levi-stross, one of the most widely-known liguists in the history, significantly proposed that human has an instinct desire to comprehend all of things in the world with words of humility from--from the plenty of the invention at that time came up with. Henceforth, currently, by the desire to be the God itself, the natural things related to an environment being around of animals and insects are in danger, by the reason of natural disaster like deforestation, space-garage dump risen as new issue in 21st century of the world, and an capricious (rapidly-changing, unpredictably-generated, unstoppable see-saw-like) climate, can be seen as the detectable.

  In the film <Don't look up>, as an another example available on Netflix now, it explicitly shows the slope-sided relationship between humility with politics; that implicitly has meaning everything in relation to politics-related things as attracted demagogue (social-scale campaign) toward public for power to lead their perspective onto analog-, or via evolved digital-form media implemented by humankind, can make shut the individual's mind down independently by leaving the clearly-opened eyes of public already adopted at with-slang hashtag and posts--also known as 'meme-ize truth', which, in terms of academy, is also named of post-truth in contemporary--propagated by those in all-age (regardless of age, where they are living, used to do so); it finally comes with the representation of cautions shown by nature through natural disaster by comet collision falling down to the ground full of worldly desires for one-dimensional value like materials, luxurious reputation received from an anonymous, in the end. Furthermore, among the list of an arrongence in <Don't look up>, Peter, CEO of BASH pioneering the astronomy-related technology of not only the U.S.'s but also the one all over the world, who is also set as whom, filled with prejudice and arrogance through the mega-database of the individuals, has eagerly wanted to be a quasi-god-like entity (near-pioneer) among humility living in 21st century. However, at the end of the movie, when the situation the globe is clearly destroyed in the brink of eye, the vice, including the high-class relatives, is onboard to the hard-to-estimate-scale space carrier moves them to the planet in vicinity of the heat level, air status of the earth; unfortunately, it barbarizingly describes that the last of humility killed by other organisms reside from on which we lived are weaker than the other spieces, which means they are nothing when comparing to among the entire universe--just as an embryonic entity who lay down to the bottom of food chain commonly shared among organism existing for survival ultimately.

  Besides, the green knight, directed by David Lowery, dealing with the epic of sir Garwin, also conveys, which aforementioned already proves of unbeatable quasi-destiny nature, in metaphorical expression on the other hand, the inevitable, absolutely recyclable relationship between human being and unconditionally changing nature whichsoever appears, or happened all of sudden on it--described as the green knight in the film in way of poetical expressionism. Sir Garwin, who wants to be a king of the above-of-all, begins his long-term, distance journey to figure out the destiny of transencendental being wherein juxtaposedly compared to the green knight decapitated by the protagonist, Sir Garwin. In this chronological epic film, the character of humility, connoted by Sir Garwin, known as unbreakable free will reacting as mother-engine of human life, makes them more powerful and brave to achieve one's goal for on-the-zenith immortal empiral beyond, or in proximity of nature rather than those with cutting-edge technologies. As the rule of being-itself regularity, he in the end kneeled to the green knight by becoming being-as-one entity synced with like nutritious soil for large-sized natural substances like tree, botanies on the ground.

  As far as we know, two individual film has distinctive difference each other depending on diverse human having colorful thoughts on certain topic. People en masse, followed by mass psychology, are largely moved by those who lead independently 'gens' (people in french) on the center of boundary marked upon dual way: True or False; these are defined in accordance with the humility standard, simultaneously, the principle of Post-truth combined with state-of-the-art technology. When we profoundly consider about the correlation between socio-cultural (Post-truth, technology) and must-be-happened perspective (nature).

For instance, there is an indispensable connection between propaganda and normal ones staying focus on neutrality within our community. Then, somebody included in the group of propaganda says in relation to something they may be pressed to believe in without individually discreeted opinion through the way composed into the milieu where the pseudo truth becomes right one changes an official opinion--toward in which propagandas, including presses, prefer--proactively discussed by among public consisted of certain group who are taking part in the one-side predisposed to make people standing on the other side guided from original side to where they, on the verge of widening post-truth scale, are (The theory of agenda-setting).

As a result of it, the minority gradually keeps silence and the real truth finally disappeared or being pseudo one oppositely, even people recognize ambiguous major information; then the majority of community begins to ignite the light for the startpoint of propagating slogan or social-scale campaign in the academic place (it has an academic vocabulary called 'spiral of silence' widely used in mass communication theory). The Netflix film <Don't look up> vividly describes it in hyper-realistic way with celebs on news that when the doomsday comet--metaphored as an invisible power happened by nature--falls down on the ground filled with lying and conflict dealing with completely kitsch content related to the comet-falling sequence via social media; and begins to propagate the hashtag campaign #Don't look up led by those who already enchanted from the high-class bureaus, such as president and her relatives. At this point, two scientists play ping-pong with idyllic public no matter what, for example they are mocked from anonymous with symbol of pseudo-religionist (the theory of framing), even their supporters. However, their eloquence conveys the  wholehearted inner voice to evacuate and destroy the high-speed downfall comet, which is the start-point of contrast hashtag campaign #Just look up; this is what is clearly compared with nature.

 Additionally, the green knight shows the final of Sir Garwin by juxtaposing the revival of the green knight who already decapitated by him, which means that the worldly desire, high reputation and becoming the god, cannot be affronted to the one-way flowness of nature. The death of human and living beings have always been continued as it has done before no matter what most of people react on each moment--similar to the theory of Tao, one of the greatest philosopher in ancient china. As described in this film, the inner want of Sir Garwin to become the above-of-all king goes forth literally from Garwin the nobody, who has most likely to spend his time and value on just underground activity with darky side, to greatest Sir Garwin as a king whose all the time he takes on his own journey might become, or is deserved becoming distinctive biographical chronology which, gradually separated from ordinary whenever he, Sir Garwin, brands the first footstep to vastly leap--expressed poetically, metaphorically compacts the implicit meaning of recognizing and keeping its own position not be with feeling of transcendence based on prejudice and arrogance; only accepting one's destiny and originality and preparing to be grown up for individual faith by completing each moment may feel as a harsh, instead of conquer the quasi-nature position whose all of things--whether in the cities or in the suburban, or rural--circulate its  circumstances on the verge of unstoppably refreshable capability itself.

 In conclusion, human nature and nature itself should be retained in sustainability by way of acknowledging from humankind, try not to overstep the being-as-original--nature--as well. So far we passionately handle in relation to the topic: why we face crisis in both terms of nature and humanity. The majority of crisis always become the terminal part of one--the bigger part of 'one' is nature has been composing the environment to establish milieu in which humankind are able to live, and terminal part is humankind--. Terminal part mentioned right before, that is to say, significantly effects as 'the expressed,' in so far as to be the embryonic point of every micro-level sickness, and il-, mal-ness of macro-scale being. According to the instances of <Don't look up>, and <The green knight>, there is an remarkable conflict of social atoms between the truth led by scientists and some of hippie versus post-truth led by high-class people who want to conceal the rapid changing with lying, naive characteristic on the on-fired topic about comet falling (micro-level), and local-wide social campaign via social network and TV shows dealing with suggestive near-kitsch content in lieu of provokable words. Plus, the smaller desire to become upon apex level among humankind, even challenge to the nature power finally comes with the death of terminal (also expressed as social atom when compared to unbreakable nature itself) and, at the same time, the beginning of nature (expressed through the decapitating of the green knight at the first part of the film).

 We need to fix our words being paroled in detante with inter-operative, -advantageous langue--the relationship with epigenetic on the basis of ethology.
