Human rights are a “barbaric right” — they have nothing to do with civilization.
One step, and the exploration and discovery of the world around us turned into the destruction of everything around us. Looking at the destructive impact of today’s global civilization, it is hard to believe, but we are only one step away from harmonious interaction with the natural environment. What we are seeing is more like the “adolescent awkwardness” of our civilizational model. People who have taken the time to think about such global questions understand this. Our civilization (and it is shared, one civilization for everyone on this planet) has everything. It has all the power and resources needed to solve any problem. The only thing it lacks is experience. Just like a teenager: already grown up, already educated, but still short on experience.
The same is true on a personal level. Human rights and freedoms — the rights and freedoms of a strong, free human being — are inseparable from who we are. We acquire them as we grow up and become conscious of ourselves. No constitution and no state can either grant them to us or take them away. Human rights are a “barbaric right” — they have nothing to do with civilization. No teacher, sensei, trainer, or coach can come even close to teaching you freedom.
The wild can. That is why I fight to ensure that wild territories remain — places where humans, with all their civilization, would not even dare to intrude! A realm of barbarism and the Old Gods. Places where people could come to learn freedom and humanity.
