Unlocking the Secret to Halting Climate Change: Embracing Earth as a Living Celestial Body through a Perspectivist View

Humans have always been fascinated by the mysteries of the universe and our place within it as humans. For centuries, we have relied on science to explain the world?around us, but isn't it possible that there are some things beyond science's ability to fully explain, and several mysteries remain unsolved yet? This is the question?that has led many people, including myself as a perspectivist, to believe that why can't the earth be a super giant celestial living body suspended in space? Yes, for?most this concept may appear very very strange and unscientific at first glance.

After all, science has demonstrated that the earth is nothing more than a lifeless rock revolving in space. However, upon closer inspection, many characteristics of?the earth indicate living proof. The fact that the Earth is teeming with life is one of the strongest proofs that it is a living celestial body. Every living being on?this planet, from the smallest microbes to the greatest mammals, is a member of a complex and interdependent ecosystem that contributes to life and living. The?richness, diversity, and interconnectedness of the earth's biosphere make it a wonder to behold. But what if there's more to this connectivity than meets the eye? What?if the earth is a single superorganism that is alive and conscious rather than just a collection of ecosystems?

The idea that the earth is a living celestial body would alter how we view our relationship with the planet if we were to accept it. Instead of seeing ourselves as the?earth's lords, we would regard ourselves as its subservient citizens who must coexist with this amazing creature. We must understand that there is a connection between?humans and the health of the earth, and we should fight tirelessly to save it. It is crucial to stress that current scientific understanding does not support this?theory. However, a certain group of researchers from the west who has published their finding that supports it but still, we lack science-backed explanations to make?ourselves believe.

As a perspectivist, I am aware of the value of knowledge based on facts and the contribution of science to our understanding of the world. A part of me yet continues?to hold the notion that the earth is a living and breathing object. Consider how similar our planet's features are to those of a living thing: it contains a complex?network of interconnected pieces that supports life, it can react to outside stimuli, and it can fully adapt to shifting environmental conditions. The facts we are?fully aware of from several thousand years of human civilizations are dynamic weather systems respective to the geography and its associated subsystems and their?outcomes are the fundamental testament to convincing ourselves to this crazy belief. Everything that happens below and above the earth's surface is for reasons which?may be mysterious to us but are supporting the earth's survivability while still evolving and adapting to the current internal and external environment.

We humans often view ourselves as the dominant species on this planet, but in reality, we are just one tiny part of this larger system. Our actions have a profound?impact on the earth, and if we continue to exploit and abuse it, we will ultimately bring our demise. Instead, we need to shift our perspective and view ourselves as part of a larger, living system. We need to recognize the earth as a super giant celestial mass that is?alive and that we are just one small part of it. By working together and living in harmony with the earth, we can ensure our survival and the survival of all the other?living beings who call this planet home.

Many people may find this viewpoint funny, hazy, and unscientific which is very true but I think it is a legitimate one to have and think about for a moment and?connect ourselves to the ultimate root that has supported our existence and survivability. Holding this thought is an inner sense that encourages empathy, connection,?and a sense of duty toward the world in which we live and flourish that collectively unifies our survivability.
