That cynical voice, the thick german accent full of wisdom and perspective. Gives a remarkable contrast to the organic background and the animal sounds that almost mocks his wisdom with creativity.

Kinski always says its full of erotic elements. I don’t see it so much erotic. I see it full of obscenity. Nature here is vile and base. I wouldn’t see anything erotical here. I would see fornication and asphyxiation and choking and fighting for survival and growing and just rotting away. Of course there’s a lot of misery, but it is the same misery that is all around us. The trees here are in misery; the birds are in misery. I don’t think they sing; they just screech in pain. It’s a unfinished country. It’s still prehistorical. The only thing that is lacking is the dinosaurs. It’s like a curse weighing on the entire landscape. And whoever goes too deep into this has his share of the curse. So we are cursed with what we are doing here. It’s a land that God, if he exists, has created in anger. It’s the only land where creation is unfinished yet. Taking a close look at what’s around us, there is some sort of a harmony, it is the harmony of overwhelming and collective murder. And we in comparison to the articulate vileness and baseness and obscenity of all this jungle. we in comparison to that enormous articulation we only sound and look like badly pronounced and half finished sentences out of a stupid suburban novel, a cheap novel. And we have to become humble in front of this overwhelming misery and overwhelming fornication, overwhelming growth and overwhelming lack of order. Even the stars in the sky look like a mess. There is no harmony in the universe, we have to get acquainted with that. When I say this, I say this with admiration for the jungle. It is not that I hate it, I love it. But I love it against my better judgment.

Like I agree with him about many things but it's just so funny that people take this so seriously. Like the way he deadpan says birds don't sing they just screech in pain lol, I think even people who live in nature still probably think of birds as singing.

Metaphor of sorts. The birds are completely instinctual and neither sing nor screech in pain. They just make the sounds they are programmed to make. But their existence is painful. A constant lifelong battle for survival. They will never truly be at rest.

@__: You don't really know what you're talking about. The notion that there is a "circle of life" that "necessitates murder" is completely false, and the result of decades, if not centuries and millennia, of propaganda. In fact, the vast majority of relationships between beings in nature are not predatory at all, but symbiotic and mutually beneficial. This is exemplified particularly well in the relationship between fruit-bearing trees and plants and frugivorous animals like humans. Humans have coevolved for tens of millions of years with fruit-bearing trees and plants in the tropical equatorial rainforest, a fully mutualistic symbiotic relationship in which they compete to make fruit as nutritious and delicious as possible in order to entice frugivorous animals like humans to eat them, and the unique interaction between their juvenizing biochemistry and our own neuroendocrine system has strengthened that bond immensely, yielding us our long lifespans as well as our large brains and subsequent higher cognitive faculties. Life doesn't require that sentient beings feel happy, but it's up to the most rational of sentient beings, like us, to recognize how we can better engage in mutualistic symbiotic relationships with nature rather than continue engaging in predatory and parasitical ones; the former is win-win, while the latter is win-lose. Life does not at all necessitate suffering; there is suffering now, yes, but it is not necessary at all, it is fully possible to envision a biosphere in which only mutualistic symbiotic relationships exist, and zero parasitical predation; in fact, contrary to popular imaginings, predation is not at all necessary for ecosystems to function, and ecosystems relying on the interconnectedness of mutualistic symbiosis are typically far more resilient and diverse. This is in fact what the core metaphysics of Buddhism is about; the Four Noble Truths, which form the backbone of all varieties of Buddhism, are that suffering does exist, what the cause of suffering is, that suffering can be eliminated, and lastly how to in fact eliminate suffering. I recommend reading through this piece by David Pearce; even if you regard the technological means he envisions to achieve a biosphere free from suffering as infeasible, what he's talking about remains completely true: www.hedweb.com/abolitionist-project/reprogramming-predators.html
