DeathWorld, HellWorld and now GhostWorld, Earth must be an interesting place. Here is a like and comment to help your channel grow and get you the recognition you deserve.
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.
I like the one where they found the human afterlife was empty, because we were haunting ourselves, to make sure nobody went into the dark until all were ready to go together.
Your stories never disappoint. Every time I see your byline I drop everything else and settle in, knowing it will be a wild ride with an eminently satisfying conclusion.
The saying "Our loved ones and friends will always be with us even after death" is wild this scientist definitely was well received by his human peers, cause he was guarded by terran spirits
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.
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.
@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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
Ah the fun of 'so this tech you don't have is utterly busted for you' and on the upside, no need for hostility. Plus, the collective human oversoul might be the equivalent of an eldritch god, but it's pretty chill!
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.
My hearing isn't what it used to be. In your greeting you say, "Welcome Ladies and (something)." What are you saying? Keep up the good work. You are my evening bedtime story.
I'm curious about the locket. Apparantly that allowed all of earths spirits to see how unique their situation was. And the woman with the initials C I? Who was she? I'm sure the author had somepne specific in mind. It seems like critical information that would let us extrapolate to the next stage of the story.
I thought it would be talking about the sheer number of mass extinctions that have happened on out planet, and how that is purportedly not a common thing for alien worlds in HFY.
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.
I like that they made comments on that most sentient species couldn't become sentient on anything BUT a hell world, by the meme description, it is where we'd find anyone else who would be up and ready to progress. Matrix, ghost edition lol
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.
I think the problem is that there is so much power here that there is nowhere for it to go. Power doesn't like a vacuum, but earth is anything but. You can't use the energy because everywhere is a high energy zone.
So what is the "Soul Shadow" of humanity? Is it a collection of all humans that have died over our history? is it a psychic manifestation of our collective unconciousness? Both? A shadowy manifestation of the soul of our species, staring back with a pair of eyes billionfold. How did it come to be?
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.
It's a locket with a woman's picture inside, the kind of thing you give a lover before they leave for an extended period of time and communication is impossible. He obviously grew attached to some local wildlife :P Probably the author's initials, or their daughter's or something.
The collective souls of the passed looking on with judging eyes is a scary thing even for humans. Still, I think these xenos will be just fine so long as they behave.
Welcome back, Mentlegent! For the Rhyhtm that is Algo I dunno if we'd be peaceful in our factionalism. The rest of it, though? Clever, very clever indeed.
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.

DeathWorld, HellWorld and now GhostWorld, Earth must be an interesting place. Here is a like and comment to help your channel grow and get you the recognition you deserve.
I did a story were I just classified the planet as a God.
What's next? Horrorworld?
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.
Now the question of what would Warhammer 40k holy terra fall underneath
That's a interesting way to classify our planet. It explains why we are so abundant in spiritual mana, according to other magic rich universes.
