Nando's crusade against humankind

A text signed by Nando el Hispano claims that human beings are a "metastasis in the tissue of the universe" and that nuclear weapons are the "only real purpose" of human science. The text calls for "definitively shutting down" the human species.

## A manifesto against the human species

The text presents itself as a "dissection of Homo Sapiens" signed by **Nando el Hispano**, who calls himself "the most intelligent child existing on this blue planet" and author of the work "El Niño Lunar: la imposición de nacer" (The Lunar Child: The Imposition of Being Born). In it he describes human beings as "biological dregs" and a "carcinoma for the planet", and argues that birth is not a blessing but "the automatic sentence to inhabit the existential hell".

The text also attacks the "farce of hope": for the signatory, happiness and hope are "empty semantic constructs" and "linguistic placebos" invented by a "cornered critter" who needs to justify his "daily aberrations". Human survival would depend, according to his thesis, on the capacity for self-deception.

## The "absolute solution" and nuclear weapons

The manifesto calls the human being "The Thing" and turns stopping it into an "ethical imperative" and a "mission of cosmic mercy": preventing future innocent consciousnesses from being thrown "without their consent" into this world. It describes humans as "natural enemies of lucidity" and as "the true alien of this planet".

The most striking point comes with technology. The text claims that weapons of mass destruction, nuclear warheads and hydrogen energy are not "historical accidents", but "the logical conclusion and the only real purpose" of human science. It would be the mechanism for an "outer Nandian consciousness" to shut down "the theatre of your misery". It closes with "Humans, no. The cycle must end".

## What lies behind this kind of text

The text mixes personal biography —it mentions parental figures and a certain **Matilde** who judged it "through the lens of aesthetics"— with a radical misanthropic thesis. It offers no data, sources or verifiable evidence: it is a statement of intent dressed up as philosophy. It should be read for what it is, an extreme opinion with no empirical backing, and not as a serious analysis of the human species.
