🦍 Animal Humanity Is Better Than Human Humanity – A Lesson from the Brookfield Zoo Gorilla

Image
 Compassion is often considered the essence of humanity. Yet, sometimes, it is not humans who remind us of kindness and empathy—but animals. One unforgettable event proved that animal humanity can be more profound than human humanity . In 1996, at Brookfield Zoo in Chicago , the world witnessed a heart-stopping scene that forever changed how we view gorillas and their emotions. 📌 The Incident at Brookfield Zoo It was an ordinary day at the zoo until tragedy struck.

The “Euthanasia Coaster”: Art, Ethics, and a Roller Coaster Designed to Kill

Image
  A Ride Like No Other — and Never Built In 2010 Lithuanian artist-engineer Julijonas Urbonas presented a provocative concept: a steel roller coaster engineered to end a person’s life “with elegance and euphoria.” The design (a scale model and technical sketches) proposes a 500-meter lift and a fatal series of seven decreasing-diameter inversions intended to generate sustained ~10g forces, causing prolonged cerebral hypoxia and, ultimately, death. The project is a piece of conceptual art and theoretical engineering — it was exhibited, discussed, and critiqued, but it was never constructed . Wikipedia +1 How the Concept Would Work (At a High Level) Urbonas framed the coaster as an engineered way to induce cerebral hypoxia (insufficient oxygen to the brain) by applying very high, repeated G-forces so that riders would progress through grey-out, tunnel vision, G-LOC (loss of consciousness), and — in the concept — irreversible brain oxygen deprivation. The ride’s geometry (progre...

There, preserved in ice for over 500 years , sat a young girl, her face so lifelike that it seemed she might wake at any moment. She would later be named the “Maiden of Llullaillaco” —a silent witness to the spiritual practices of the Inca civilization . Who Was the Maiden of Llullaillaco? The Maiden was just 15 years old , chosen by the Incas not because she had failed, but because she was considered “the purest of all.” Her youth, innocence, and perfection made her an ideal candidate for one of the most sacred Inca rituals: Capacocha , a sacrificial ceremony to honor the gods. To prepare her, she was dressed in ceremonial clothing, adorned with ornaments, and given chicha (a maize-based alcoholic drink) and coca leaves to ease her passage...
