Who is above humans in the food chain?
And can we realize this? Just as a potato does not realize its death when a person plucks it and eats it at the dinner table.

There are versions that from the point of view of energy, a person is “someone's food or even cattle”, while it is extremely difficult to realize this, this is actively hindered.
I won't try to promote this theory, but at least as a metaphor, it is very interesting.
A person lives a very long time in order to “pay tribute or debt” to someone, something. Tribute and debt are paid by the effort, time and nerves spent on making money (most of which is not spent on us) and raising people(who are not needed by us).
But this is just a theory.
In the food chain above a person – since a person is not a beast or a plant – there are such predators as obscurantism, malice, stubbornness, godlessness, stupidity, and many others.
Viruses, parasites, fungi, bacteria, and spores. Lower-order astral entities.
All those who consume human flesh (dense physical body) and soul (subtle material body).
Symbionts are also considered as they use human flesh for personal nourishment, but without destroying the host. Unlike pathological types
Interesting and provocative question.
The hint goes to the higher entities that supposedly feed on the products of human life.
How ants feed on aphid milk, planting it on roses and apple trees.
There is an opinion among shamans that certain spirits or even a higher power standing above the spirits takes a person to themselves after death. The shaman Castaneda spoke of a certain terrible creature (he called it an Eagle) that eats a person after death and it is almost impossible to deceive him.
Avramic religions also express millennia-old assumptions that human energy is fed by certain demons, or “egregors” that have been fashionable in the last decade.
That is, at a football match, where 100 thousand fans roar with delight and euphoria-there are powerful entities that not only feed on this energy, they also feed people with dopamine so that they develop more and more of this nutrition. Just like ants help aphids suck the sap from our apple trees. Or not ours, but Polish ones. ))
I will express a purely personal point of view. The number of life forms on planet Earth is infinite. Man is one of them, and not the most intelligent. Moreover, for some forms of life, it is at the top of the food chain, while for others it is food. For example, viruses, parasites, and bacteria not only affect the human body, but also feed on its body. A person has not yet figured out how his own brain works. Moreover, the time has not yet come to understand how consciousness is born and what life forms have it…
God is above a person, food is not only physical, but also energetic, so he feeds on our emotions, it doesn't matter if they are positive or negative, all sorts of batteries are needed and + and minus. In general, only people who do not commit either good or bad deeds, who do not experience emotions, are useless. These are of no interest to either evil or good forces.
The world is knowable. There is nothing that man cannot know. Those who write about something “higher, above” a person, should first indicate the height and other parameters of this higher bullshit.
The food chain on planet Earth has long been known and studied by children in school. Those who wish can read nature studies in middle classes about the Scientific Method, and then about the development of species.
PS-potatoes from the author's example are not reasonable. That's why it doesn't realize anything, not because it's at the bottom of the food chain.
For the most part, however, a person stands at the top of the food pyramid. Of course, there are cases when it becomes prey for someone (predatory animals or cases of cannibalism, for example).
Should mosquito bites be considered superior? On the one hand, it is true, because they eat human tissue, but on the other hand, it is incorrect, because the person then lives on, not noticing anything particularly.
Parasitic relationships can hardly be called a trophic relationship. They do not eat the owner himself, but live off him, eating his food.
As for the decomposition of corpses, I wouldn't count that either.. In the end, it's just a loop closure. The corpse was “eaten” by bacteria and mineral substances were formed again, all this “grew” into plants, the cow ate the plants, the cow was eaten by a person, and again.
In our world, anything is possible. But I want to point out that we do not die from teeth, but from time. The only ones who can catch us are predators, but we, as intelligent beings, can prevent this from happening.
Dinosaurs! The big killer lizards clearly didn't agree that humans were the crown of nature, assuming that we could live at the same time, especially if our technology was limited to rocks and sticks. In general, it is difficult to put a modern person in this chain, here Vegans still claim that we are herbivores, and Great-eaters do not even agree with this!
At the top of the food chain has always been the fittest, and at this moment, of all the living organisms on earth that we know of, man is the fittest… but that's only on earth.
Let's say we found an exoplanet right next to our solar system and immediately went to explore it, because it turned out that this planet has an ideal ecosystem for humans, there is drinking water, plenty of food, and an ideal temperature, it would seem that all these factors will allow the human body to quickly adapt to the new planet, but it was not there…
We will not take into account all the animals that live on this planet, even if there are twenty-meter dinasaur-like animals, because even with modern technology, if suddenly dinosaurs inhabit our planet, with our technology we will still be higher than dinosaurs in the food chain. Therefore, on an exoplanet, animals will not be a particular threat to humans.
But what kind of threat is waiting for us? Is there really anything more dangerous on this planet than twenty-meter-long dinosaur-like monsters? Yes, there is an invisible threat, namely bacteria and viruses…
For our immunity, these viruses will be absolutely unfamiliar, so there are two possible scenarios: either you will be killed by bacteria, or you will be killed by your own immunity, the chance of getting an option in which there is an opportunity to survive is extremely small.
Simply put, a person ceases to be at the top of the food chain, after he gets into an unusual environment for a person.
Nature or if you don't like it, then the Earth itself. And the priests have long ago (and whether they had such a thing), they forgot why they were identified here, for the connection of God with man. And they felt like gods themselves. And the sovereign's people who are supposed to serve, no longer serve, but steal who is in a heap, and those who chose them for them like dust. And that we will be saved, Comrades, if not by All-Russian riots and revolution. As they said in the movie “The way we lived, you can't live like this, but the way we live, it's not possible”, You need to turn this world around, and shake out all the shit from the chairs that crashed into your ass for fertilizer, and dig deeper. It's time to change this system.
It depends on the properties of the assignment and the competence of the participants.
To understand the details of the block process in the breadth of understanding, you can discuss with the goat the quality and properties of chlorophyll in the cabbage leaves it eats, taking into account the correlation of solar activity and climate in your area, precipitation and soil quality.
Nobody. Humans are at the top of the food chain, but since most people are omnivores, it turns out that humans eat organisms like meat (potatoes, carrots, cabbage, wheat – even if not in raw form, but in processed form). and the second link (cows, chickens, pigs). Of course, humans sometimes become prey to predators, but this is the exception rather than the rule, because there is no species that would purposefully hunt people. Moreover, with the help of weapons, a person can easily kill both a lion, a tiger and a bear. The most revealing point is that every few minutes people kill as many sharks as sharks kill people in a year. That is, in this sense, a person is the top of the chain, but only not for food, because wild animals are mostly killed not for meat, but for skins, tusks, horns, etc.

A couple of off-topic quotes, I couldn't resist:
“Humanity is a gift from our animal origins, and humanity itself has created cruelty.”
“Killing should be pleasing to God himself. He does it all the time. Are we not created in His image and likeness?”
Micro-organisms (viruses and unicellular ones ), parasites, packs of stray dogs, lions, wolves, polar bears, … in short-everyone who has tasted a person's taste.
I've never agreed with the idea that the food chain is a pyramid scheme. Primitive. It doesn't have a top! The top IS ALSO EATEN!!!
This is a CLOSED graph. Living matter follows one of its innumerable CIRCULAR routes, intersecting at many nodes. A node is a LIVING BEING that eats living matter from suitable branches that make up its diet.
Person… “the peak …?!
And how does a nature reserve live, for example, where, theoretically, a person DOES NOT EAT ANYONE?
Think about it. 😉
Good luck!
