PARASITES & SCAVENGERS

I am sure almost everyone heard the term “PARASITE”. It was adopted by many languages in which it sounds similar, so as the meaning stays similar.

The term “SCAVENGER” was new to me and I discovered it a few years ago when trying to find the right term for a fast-growing part of the economy.

Despite the fact, that both seem to be similar, there are significant differences between these two

I will not use WIKIPEDIA, which I do not trust anymore, I will not use any language-based model of AI, that will be able to define the meaning, instead for that, I will use the same tool that is helping me for almost 53 years to recognize and enjoy what LIFE means, my brain.

  • PARASITE is someone or something who sucks benefits and energy from his living host. It knows that it needs to keep the host alive as long as possible to “get the share” and in some way, it contributes to host´s existence
  • SCAVENGER is someone or something that consumes dead flesh, and bones, and blood. It consumes bodies in which no life is left. Scavengers wait till someone or something dies and fight for its place to get a piece before looking for a new dead body.

Both are known to us from animal and plant words

If speaking about PARASITES many can transfer this term into human-made society as well, but the term SCAVENGER seems to be not existing, or very rare, but the reality is different.

There are many SCAVENGERS and some live in a hybrid mode

For the first part of their lives they are PARASITES and turn to SCAVENGERS before becoming PARASITES again at the end.

They are not able to survive in the role of a HOST, but they serve after death, the real one, or the socio-politic-economical death as the ground for other scavengers who follow their role model of life.

Many of you, who follow the WASTELESS WORLD STORY for a longer time know well, that I started back in 2014 to use the term GIANT to describe individuals and entities who parasite on the life and work of HUMANS calling them USERS, CITIZENS, VOTERS

Today (May 14, 2024) I found a new GIANT, it was introduced today in the morning and overflow the internet news generated by IT inform about the new generation of AI, tool called GPT-4o. It is not the tool itself that parasite, but the AI, which originally was developed as a SERVANT but became the MASTER in a very short time.

It is turning fast from PARASITE to SCAVENGER

and will turn back to PARASITE as long as new data are needed.

I just wonder who behave the same

POLITICIANS and PRETENDERS

In fact, it is not just the reality that POLITICIANS are PRETENDERS, they love PRETENDERS as well, celebrating them in big halls serving, certificates and medals to those who pretend best.

When as a young adult in the army saw for the first time PREDATOR I movie, I thought it is the worst enemy, but 30 years later, I am aware it was just a man in a well-done costume who play well his role.

The true danger came from PRETENDERS because too many believe in their words, smiles, and never-ending line of promises, not thinking why these are never being fulfilled

The ELECTIONS are not there to implement change, but to maintain the system in pretending, there is a dispute between right and left

I am sure now you do understand why the header image was used the second time

Have a nice time free of waste and wasting in all its forms, stay safe and be free
