Nature Practises Democracy: Suli Breaks at TEDxHousesofParliament

I used to believe in freedom of speech until I had to pay my first phone bill that's cool because I heard reality only makes you stronger if it don't kill do you think nature cares more for the mountain or the mole hill does it favor the rabbit that plows the earth when it's alive or the one that fertilizes the soil when it becomes roadkill it appears the night and day don't discriminate imagine if the Sun and Moon had to debate labor over mandate who was the best candidate to rise at the breaker Dawn but then again based on how infrequently the sun shines in Britain maybe that statement itself is debatable but the above examples are merely to highlight that we are probably the species with the most autonomy in the whole of the Earth's geography so why do we struggle with its philosophy to the point where it becomes a foreign ideology when even nature practices democracy all I'm saying is that like a German football fan in a pub in sh ditch during the 2010 World Cup match up between the two countries our human emotions and democracy find it difficult to coexist causing us to make a mockery of this so This raises the question did eus Finch Kill a Mockingbird for a concept that doesn't really exist ironic how human nature and the laws of nature conflict our judgments are clouded by a Lyon share of Pride rather and following the example of the lion and its [Music] Pride I used to believe in democracy till my mom would give my sister the biggest chicken in the soup simply because she was a lot bigger and that's how we learned democracy worked in our social groups only hold value to the views of those who were most popular and that's why we find it difficult to make any progress and the adults didn't do much to facilitate the process because we were always shut down at the first sign of protest but when bees gather honey for the queen they don't have to worry about pay cut possibly redundancy a recession have you ever seen a rise in young be unemployment so if nature can get it right maybe it's not the way we've been practicing it all along but maybe it's the mentality we've adopted towards it which is wrong because for us it's not even about who or what we're voting for it's more about what it represents and what we're hoping for we're driven by emotions and our pride as people but from the passenger seat how much control do you really have to drive the vehicle because nature made some of us white and some of us black some of us skinny and some of us the opposite of that but nature didn't make us discriminate put bombs on our back or station troops in foreign lands the only nature that causes that is human nature and that's all the facts do you know that red deer herds only move when 60% of the adults stand up effectively voting with their feet both baboons and apes do not select a male leader until the females in the group have had a chance to look in the side and the feminists would probably have a chuckle at that cuz we struggle in fact with a concept as simple as woman's rights we live in J opposition to the universe and its natural tendencies so democracy works but people don't we'd rather focus on what divides us than what unites us with what's inside us representing for the same spot where Mark D was shot where D alola was stabbed where Steven Lawrence was dropped when animals kill one another it's either for survival or nourishment when the rain beats down in the soil is merely to provide the seeds with some encouragement Google the Baltic and the North Sea Watch how they balance perfect with no need for establishment or Congressman do you know the hermit crab does not grow its own shell it wanders along and uses whatever it can for Shell whether it be glass bottles or cans so effectively this Prov that recycling is also a naturalistic tenden and we struggle with that as well I had an argument with my friend who stated that our Consciousness has allowed us to become Supreme Beings on this Earth and I responded but animals eat sleep spend times with their family each week travel the Earth as they please I spend more time texting some people than we actually speak so is this Consciousness really a gift or a curse so before we look at democracy let's look at hypocrisy and we should realize that every problem we have on this Earth we the responsible ones and the only law we need to work on implementing is our natural ones because nature practices democracy human nature as a is not
