Sea turtles are born on land. Think about that. They begin their live and their parents are not around, but they left them a gift, one additional gift to the gift of life. Even though they gonna spend their whole life inside a world, their earliest memory, maybe it is too early to be a conscious memory, but their earliest memory will be a deep truth about their environment.

The human equivalent would be to float out of an incubator on a space station into a landing capsule . A place our ancestors would have build for us, like the sea turtle parents undertook the journey to make something special for their kids. One of our earliest memories would be a view of earth, from space. Deep down inside we would know, we would always know and who knows, maybe the people that great us down there decide to become our guardians, since our parents aren't around.

No idea if this was supposed to be positive or not.

"With an average of 90% hatching success and 1% survival rate up to sexual maturity, Baguan in 2011 alone could contribute 13,000 to the adult turtle population."

Life span: 50-100 years

Sexual Maturity
Maturity may range from as early as 7 to 13 years for leatherbacks, 11 to 16 years for both species of ridleys, 20 to 25 years in hawksbills, 25 to 35 years for loggerheads and 26 to 40 years in green sea turtles.

7 to 40 years out of 50-100.

Maybe we need to consider a specific type of sea turtle.

Don't understand your second paragraph at all.
What did the sea turtle make so special out of the ocean for their kid?
Don't they just live in a nature they do not modify ever and have been doing so since they existed?
Human beings need to learn and be taught and adapt to an environment they modeled.

It would be quite the experiment to leave young humans to fend for themselves with technology we have left behind. I'm sure it would be a disaster.

You never gonna understand it, if you keep your heart close shut.
The special thing is, that they spend their lives floating in an environment they are not born in, yet in the very first moments, they get to see that environment from a totally unique perspective. The gift of the sea turtle parent is a gift of wisdom, which is great if you gonna live a 100 years.

The second paragraph tries and might fail to capture the idea or moment, of showing someone from the dark ages a photograph of earth from space, something non-magical to nowadays humans, yet then putting it as the very first experience of human life. Of course this won't work, Human Babies can't see shit when they are born, there also is infant death syndrome. There would be the parallel that humans then would start floating and end up on land, and the 1% survival rate we can map to space junk and asteroids hitting most of the capsules while landing.

None of this, however is the point of this, open your heart or become a bitter old bastard.

we reached levels of communication that quantum teleportation already understood and used. we humans could be the biggest information progress around or maybe we have to reach someone, we cannot see more than what we are.

Well, the sea turtles go back on land to lay eggs.

Being born on land isn't a gift, it's a survival strategy. They don't consciously make something special, just an urge to deposit their eggs somewhere safer than the sea. It's not particularily pleasant "gift" either as they aren't adapted for land and after hatching they have to hurry to the sea before they are eaten alive by birds and other predators. They don't want to be on land. For them their earliest memory is that of hell, an dry environment antithetical to their existence, being chased, exhausted, vulnerable. Some gift.

Btw there are several species of sea turtles, which one do you have in mind?

That's true - although I'm sure the males could also lug themselves onto dry land if they wanted to, so maybe it just goes to prove sea turtles don't give much of a shit about dry land.

Are you sure these are green sea turtles? I think they might be loggerheads, which would still leave things unresolved. Do green sea turtles hug each other too?

I would say, the opening statement is a feeble try on the author's side to seem smart and enlightened. In my eyes he fails to do so as his thoughts contribute nothing of actual use, are based on nothing but his (wrong) assumptions about the biology of the turtles.
I am expecting a next blog with similar lines about the salmon. After all it swims in salty waters as well as in rivers. Such duality of environments seems exciting for the author and maybe he will express his next morning thoughts about the salmon. Then will probably the duck be exalted - it can swim, fly and walk - boom! Three amazing abilities.
The subject-matter of the art of living is each person's own life.

Ducks sound amazing. I was expecting myself to write a blog on astrology next, but I might investigate the duck now. Thanks @JoinTheRain

I enjoyed this ^^
Even if turtles probably don't process it all that much, it's a nice thought about perspective.
