Human Lungs

Summary

The article argues that humans are not separate from their environment and that a significant portion of our lungs are actually outside of our bodies, consisting of trees and forests.

Abstract

The article begins by challenging the traditional view that humans are separate organisms from their environment. It then introduces the idea that a significant portion of our lungs are actually outside of our bodies, consisting of trees and forests. The author argues that without these trees and forests, humans would not be able to survive as a species or individually. The article then criticizes the practice of cutting down trees, comparing it to cutting out a significant portion of one's own lungs. The author urges readers to watch the documentary "Planet of the Humans" to learn more about the issue.

An organ that is not just inside us

We have been taught since childhood that each of us is an organism that is separate from our environment. We have been taught that all of our organs are inside of us.

This is incorrect.

All humans have lungs. But only part of our lungs are inside of our body. A large portion of our lungs are outside of our body.

Yes, this goes against everything we believe but it’s true.

The other part of our lungs outside of our bodies consists of all the trees and forests of trees on the planet. If those trees did not consume the carbon dioxide that we emitted and if we could not consume the oxygen they emitted we would not be able to survive as a species — or even individually.

Would you get a butcher knife and cut yourself open and chop out a significant portion of your lungs?

Of course not.

Yet we continue to chop down significant portions of the lungs outside of our body! How stupid are we?

Seriously! Why are we committing suicide?

I fervently urge everyone reading this to watch the brand new documentary, Planet of the Humans. I guarantee you it will blow your mind wide open.
