In the past, the perception of the extinction of mankind was marked by how much human life was lost due to disease, war and natural disasters. However, now that perception has changed. Shift to a human condition that is no longer authentic by ignoring what is around it.
One of them is when humans ignore and fail to handle waste.
The so-called "garbage" is the moment when reason loses the power to assign value to "something".
“The value of something” is when the thing has a use. If something is tangible it will be called a method or process and if something is intangible then it is called an object or tool.
Garbage is recognized as a moment of emptying the value of a process or object. For example, when a person's speech process is drunk and incomprehensible, then it will become worthless and will be wasted-and become trash. In another example, when we buy a chair. Chairs will be of value to us because there is a use as a seat, valuable because they can support our bodies when we are not standing. However, when the chair breaks down, all that's left is a series of valueless objects-and they become trash too.
Changes in the speech process of people who are drunk or in a chair that cannot be sat on indicate (1) there is a loss of value and (2) reason loses the power to give value. Humans lose their understanding of something.
Human through his mind guarantees his authenticity as a human being through what he does to everything he encounters around him. The transformation of processes that have uses or objects into tools, through assigning values to them, is a manifestation of human authenticity.
In the case of a drunk talking person or a broken chair, human authenticity is lost because humans are unable to control their speech or a worthless chair, which should have a useful status, is through the act of injecting value into "something" that was originally useless into something useful-giving benefit.
This line of thinking shows that human failure to handle waste is a human failure to recognize waste as trash.
In essence, trash can also mean sepah, and what we call sepah should be “something” that we don't consider valuable or treat in a negative and destructive way.
Human failure to "handle waste" means human failure to guarantee life and human life in the future.
Solution
With advanced civilization due to developing science and technology, humans can manage waste, recognize waste as trash, so that life and human life in the future are guaranteed.|
And these are all philosophical, how we should do and use something so that it is always valuable for human life and the natural environment. If not, then wait for the destruction of civilization and it is extinction.
