A HFY Story : Classification: GhostWorld | 2167 ~Deathworld, War, Terran and Humans

[@danijellino1921]

It's 117 billion. That's how many Humans have lived and died up to this point. 117 billion Souls all bunched up on one tiny blue orb is the exact reason why i keep telling my friends that there are either no Haunted places or ever place is Haunted. And tbph with ya. Shit's lit.

[@xavierzaxavier5873]

Actually it maybe more than that... Imagine how many billion people die for killing each other until now... There also one time where one empire kill over 1 billion people,conquer the city and killing all it citizens...

[@danijellino1921]

@@xavierzaxavier5873 No. That's the Scientifically accurate Data of how many Humans have been alive so far. There might have been a few million more or less but not much more. Also no one Kingdom ever killed over a Billion people. You might mean 1 Million but that's it. Even all of WW 2 which was the deadliest war to date only took about 70 to 80 million lives in total. And that includes people that died outside of direct Combat as well.

[@supremecaffeine2633]

​@@xavierzaxavier5873 That 117 billion is the highest estimated number, and no counter has ever come close to killing 1 billion. The most is between 60 and 100 million.

[@noppornwongrassamee8941]

@@supremecaffeine2633 That's just HUMANS. I think the narrator implied that ALL Earth life is like this. And now I'm wondering about Hindu beliefs about reincarnation, that our souls move between species from one life to the next, so that human souls and the souls of other Terran animals are the same thing...

There seems to be a consensus among writers that Earth is supposed to be a Class 12 Deathworld, and even this story mentions it starting out as one :P

It's even more hilarious when in reality earth actually is small, weak gravity and the like, essentially the opposite of all these stories. Knowing that makes me enjoy them more for some reason.

Within each and every human resides 3 things, a Saint, a monster and an unspeakable demon. It all depends on you which of these 3 you meet. A human can either be the best friend you ever have, your worst enemy or the end of your very existence.

[@Sorain1]

Huh. I have held a slightly different view. The Saint I see and understand. The Demon I get. But the Monster puzzles me. I would have described it thus: A human can be the best friend you've ever had, your worst enemy, or the stuff of nightmares. Worst of all, they can be all three by turns, or in combination.

[@grogvaughan5649]

@Sorain1 it's an old Norse thing that my great uncles used to say when I was a little boy. From my understanding, the monster is so much worse than the demon, but that was over 50 years ago talking to them.

[@stratometal]

ID, Ego and Superego? Not in that order btw, also a Superego isn't necessary saintly, but the analogy works.

[@elduquecaradura1468]

Probably what your grandfather meant was the good, the bad and the feral. We as animals are capable of any of three, and yes, feral might be the worst of them all. At least evil is kinda predictable.

[@kairu_aname]

​@@elduquecaradura1468 Probably not by definition. Good, bad, and feral You have bad and feral mixed up. Feral are base instinct, as such they inflict no intentional torment. As such they kill as defense and that's the end of it. Or simply do not understand the world as it is, aka insane. "Nothing personal. My survival over you attacking me or my friends." Or "The rain burns my skin *so i have to kill brick!* He's the *mastermind!"* Bad, relative to evil, *do* inflict intentional torment and understand the world around them. Some humans are this entirely, but some dip into it as revenge.

[@Iluvantir]

And what the Aliens didn't put together was this: when THEY die, their souls go to earth... to be born as a human... which is why there's so many nations, religions, political methods, odd differences... yet so MANY laws and customs that this Researcher said were... shockingly... the same as theirs. Ghostworld... seems like Earth is the Afterlife of the Galaxy. What crime was committed to condemn some of these races to become Australians, is my main question...

[@regulusforrester6429]

Criminally underrated.

[@lyrigageforge3259]

If that's the jest of the story, perhaps for this one. But in a way true enough. These stories generate aliens out of various different groups of humans through out history for cultures and political forms anyhow. However - what I find a bit funny - is that most of the time when all those alien supposedly are 'that much more advanced' in their technologies - how the hell did they even get in the space with so damned backwards sort of political systems or social orders - I refer to systems that just aren't very beneficial for the majority of the population from the religious kind, imperial sort and so forth - then to having for example slavery, which is anything but economically lucrative. So it's basically like having scientifically fancy toys in hands of beings underdeveloped socially to even be allowed to handle such. Not that this isn't often what we could also say about ourselves, given that we use technologies with ease, without fully understanding the issues those may generate. And besides, even now 55% of worlds nations have non-democratic rule, never mind that most folk in those places would likely wish for the democratic one, at least usually, if they could dare to.

[@ICountFrom0]

I'd be in the "very silly" reasons group if I had that power.

[@walterroche8192]

Bars. The universal existence! This reminds me of that one SF book series where the last humans always recorded the minds of their ancestors and plugged them into their exoskeletons. But I like the idea of the Ghost world! Hope the writers adopt the concept.

[@vicroc4]

Finally, a story that admits that sapient life would probably all come from deathworlds. Because natural selection wouldn't happen to the point of sapience without that kind of pressure.

[@merlinathrawes746]

Very good point.

Hmm. I'm guessing that Earth and humanity has so much spiritual energy because four billion years and five or six mass extinction events leaves behind a lot of ghosts.

I was expecting us to be completely void of the "spiritual" power used in this story for considering us a ghostworld like we were just walking corpses, instead of being the closest thing to a physical soul.

A hell world/death world is probably the only place where the set of pressures necessary for sapience to evolve can exist. So yeah, I'm glad this story acknowledged that.

[@peterwalls-qf7ii]

AH! Let me help a bit. You felt the presence of Our Father! We do not see a divide as you do, for u8s it is a single thing. If i go to another room in the same house, then close the door, have i left the house? I do not interact with you, you are ignorant of my activities, I may be ignorant of yours, yet we exist in the same house. From Death comes life, and for life to thrive, death is essential. There is only so much room in the public parts of the house, some have to go to their rooms for a time, to allow the rest to interact. We all return eventually, refreshed, eager to meet again, eager to interact.

The "research" is suspect. Test subject count less than 2000 extrapolated to 6 billion? A 4 ten-thousands of a percent? Also, the "examples" are superfluous. I was hoping they would be showing variance with someone really high, and the CEO being so small they could measure it.
