WHY HUMANS RULE THE WORLD ?

On a Cold Day in Monsoon Season it happened I was travelling through my bike feeling the cherishness of cold breeze touching my face, enjoying the drizzling gentle rain with the ray of sunshine solacing me with its warmth. A sudden thought propelled through my neurons "Why Humans Rule The World ?". To the self propelled question I had no clue about "why humans rule the world ?". In fact the truth was I never asked that question before ever nor I heard anyone asking. Thinking days and night in anticipation of answer I still don't have the answer to it but I discovered a lot about how different we are from all the existing flora and fauna found on the earth.
Genus - Homo :Travelling deep down the history some 2.5 million years ago our ancestors more than a body with flesh and bones who developed the ability to modify tools so called "Homo Erectus". Then the journey of evolution took pace and today we so called "Homo Sapiens Sapiens" have a significant dominance in the present world. But the Question here to ask is How ? Why chimpanzee don't rule world ? Read Books ? Run a Corporation ? Travel to other continents ? It's because "Chimps are Individualistic in nature". What ! Chimps are not Individual they are social animals, they live in social groups like us you might answer. Yes you're absolutely right here but let me give an example to make you comprehend "What I mean by Individuality". Imagine an Island far away in the pacific and you're left alone there with an chimpanzee with all the rudimentary energy necessary to sustain, what do you think who can live their ? Human's ? No It's Chimp. Humans cannot survive without a society but Chimps can. "Humans are Collectivistic in nature". This collective Cooperation is key ingredient of our power to rule today.
In Unity their lies the strength :In fathom out the reason behind our nature. The next question which might erupt in your messy brain would be "How did we achieve this flexibility of Cooperation ?". It's Communication, while other animals also do communicate but they aren't as flexible as humans. The fascinating thing that intrigued me about "how humans achieved this flexibility was language". Anthropologists claim that our language was developed by our ancestors when they hunted big animals for their food. Language is the vehicle for our culture to pass from generation to generation. Ever wondered that if language wasn't developed how would you convey your belief, stories, jokes, ideas to other human being.
Humans Believe :The only creature which can "Imagine, Create and Believe" is Humans. In the aforementioned lines I said you to Imagine an Island in far pacific ? Remember ? What If I have said that to an Chimps ? Would he be able to Imagine that and believe ? What If I say I bestow him with monetary resources by which he will be able to buy a lot of Bananas ? No he will never believe in me but a human would and this is how we cooperate. "Money is said to be the best fictional story ever created". Legal Institutions believe in Human Rights but if we cut open an human we can never find a thing called Human Rights. "Human Right is belief that human are born with some fundamental rights".
Dual - Reality :
We the humans rule the world because we live in "Dual-Reality" compared to other animals who live in "Objective reality".Dual Reality is the Fictional Reality over Objective Reality. Today the dominance of fictional reality has gained much significance like Nation, State, Religion etc. The survival of Objective reality like trees, water, tigers depend upon our fictional reality that exists in our own mind.

The Null Pointer Nightmare: How a Simple Mistake Can Halt The World

A global IT outage, described as “the largest IT outage in history” by Microsoft Regional Director Troy Hunt, occurred on July 19, 2024, affecting millions of Windows-based systems worldwide. Imagine you’re driving on a highway, and suddenly, your GPS starts pointing to a nonexistent road. You keep driving, and before you know it, you're in a ditch because there was no road where your GPS pointed. Something similar happened with a recent CrowdStrike outage, but instead of a car, it involved lines of code, and instead of a ditch, it resulted in a system crash also called Blue screen of Death (BSOD). Let’s dive into what happened, why it happened, and how we can avoid such nightmares in the future. The Culprit: A Null Pointer In the world of programming, a "pointer" is like a GPS for data. It points to a specific location in the computer’s memory where information is stored. In this case, a CrowdStrike developer wrote a piece of code that created a pointer. This pointer was...

Cyber-warfare - The Fifth Dimension:

Today the World is talking about the use of Pegasus Software which has been allegedly used by Government agencies to manipulate and control institutions and Society. The Controversy is mired with suppositions, facts, false trials but also the kernel of the truth - has reignited the debate on Cyber Warfare. Pegasus is no ultimate form of cyberweapon but it has still awakened the Nations from their sleep and compelled them to ponder on the threat posed by these new-age weapons. Hominoids to Hominids [The Evolution]: One of the first instances of the use of this kind of Cyber weapon was in 1990. It was used by Israel's Intelligence Agency on one of the chief bomb makers of Hamas Abd-al Ayyash. A doctored phone was containing explosives was blown out when he got a call from an unknown  person.  This was a paradigm change in the usage of explosives. Before a lot of efforts were used to breach the area and plan the explosives with much risk and resources utilized. Later usage has mi...

"Our Infected Criminal Justice System"

If one reads a well established textbook of law, he understands the theory behind Criminal Justice System. Generally in India maintaining Criminal Justice System is the responsibility of all the organs of the Constitution, the Parliament which deals with the making of laws, the executive which controls the institutions involved in investigating the crime and last the Judiciary which decides on the culpability of the crime. Now understanding the edifice on which the Criminal Justice System is build upon let's move to the present day trends. Today their is a large question echoing in houses of India about the efficiency and efficacy of it ?  Atom is Disintegrating: Today the history has repeated itself and the era is of majoritarian government. The State through its power of absolute majority controls both the Parliament and the Executive i.e they are one who will make law and control the investigating machinery. Criminal Justice System without punishment is like a Atom without nucle...
