The trajectory of mankind
Posted 10-14-2016 at 12:01 AM by bleonav06
Are we as humans doing the right things in life? Are we doing what we are supposed to be doing. There is some purpose for our existance and I wonder how close we are to doing what we are supposed to be doing.

Unless we are some experiment to some race of aliens, there is no real purpose to life. All you can do is to make the best of it and have be happy living.
By the way, ever thought about what it would be for the aliens (if we were to be an experiment) to see us evolve and develop technologies? Say they are 50 light years away and look at us with their telescope. They think it's getting out of hand and we get more technological advanced than they are, but they have to come all the way here to stop us. By the time they get here, we are even more advanced and can battle them one-on-one.

Assuming that they have the ability to create life, I would make a general assumption that they either have light speed travel or near light speed travel. Also if they can spawn life then they must be far more advanced for us. But like look at what mankind accomplished this year. We fought, argued, slandered, killed each other for dumb reasons. We have to focus on what is important in life and stop worrying about stupid stuff that doesn't matter.Quote:Originally Posted by RiskyFlame

what about harvesting a black hole so we can have enough energy to run the entire world?Quote:Originally Posted by sir stefan

Nothing matters on a universal level. Everything that has worth is only worthy because of the worth we, ourselves, give it. Most of us will live and die doing absolutely nothing that will be remembered 50 years from now and that's okay. Compared to the scale of the universe we could end world hunger and create world peace and it would be as momentous as the blink of an eye. Yet, to us who are living here in this reality and along this timeline, it will mean the world.
There are only two things we were "meant" to do: Survive and Reproduce. We've got that down, perhaps to a fault. Anything else we do is pretty much icing on the cake and yet we can't even appreciate that as a species.Posted 10-14-2016 at 12:28 PM by iSpuds

Morality is subjective unless there is a god.

We are not as good at surviving as we could be. And we need to work on our rate of reproduction so we do not become over crowded. So the base things we know to do, survive and reproduce have issues that we can addressQuote:Originally Posted by iSpuds

We have survived for over 200,000 years and currently make up one of the largest populations on planet earth. Barring nuclear meltdown or natural disasters involving the sun literally exploding, we aren't expected to be wiped out anytime soon by anything beyond our control. We reproduce to amazing numbers, such that we risk overcrowding as you say, and on the biological level, we are doing what we are supposed to do. The only reason our population is becoming a problem is because we survive so well, and are much less susceptible to Darwinism than other species. Curbing our reproductive habits to avoid overcrowding is a concept for which the logic and reasoning is well beyond most other species as well as the humans of thousands of years ago, so the fact that we are even able to identify it as an issue is a testament to how far we've come. Unfortunately humans have a devastatingly self-deprecating view of themselves, always self-criticizing, and this serves to both fuel our progress and inhibit our ability to appreciate it. I'm not quite sure what you're asking for from an entire species (not that it matters).Quote:Originally Posted by bleonav06

we will be gone before the sun explodes no doubt about that. Also our species is not even close to the most populous on the planet and being such would not even be sustainable. And yes sure we are doing our biological responsibilities but imagine humans as doing a job for the earth. I think that we can be doing our job more efficiently and with less damage to the earth. Also a side note but how does a potato type?Quote:Originally Posted by iSpuds

Very patiently, key by key.
Believe it or not, humans make up one of the densest, most rapidly growing populations among mammals. Moreover, the more we grow, the more mammal and avian species will diminish to endangerment. So, yes, we do make up one of the richest populations on the planet.
Is it sustainable? No, but similar relationships between animals and their environment can be observed in other species, particularly among rodents and other pestilent species. The key to these species' regulation tends to be an inflation of predator populations. Humans, however, have no natural predators and do not practice the culling of their ill and weak members.
In fact, research suggests that our population growth can be linked more strongly to medical advances and agricultural growth than our reproductive habits. i.e. Humans are living longer and more healthily than in past centuries. Is that not a good thing?
Moreover, our ability to produce clean, sustainable energy has multiplied compared to previous generations as well - that is, if we used older methods of energy production at our current rate, the earth would be much further along the path of death than it is right now. Clean energy is highly developed and rearing to go. We grow more and more efficient by the decade. That is literally what some people are paid to ensure.Posted 10-15-2016 at 09:19 PM by iSpuds

As humans in life, everyone looks at life differently. So, what is right? What is wrong? What will comeback and bite you in the ass? What will never comeback on you? It is how each person feels they must live that life within them. There are those, who don't want to think about it. Because, they are scared. There are those, who must walk that fine line of happiness for others and not themselves.
So, very much in thoughts go into daily life's!Posted 10-15-2016 at 10:32 PM by MasterDaddy02

well that is not necessarily true. Look at Hitler's legacy. Nobody has been mentioned more in the past 75 years than hitler. Almost nobody respects him, although if someone wanted to have an argument about it I would be game to defend him. But that is beside the point, nobody appreciates his legacy and yet he is talked about constantly. In america at least because we are immature and childish.Quote:Originally Posted by Bustmyblueballs

I shouldn't have said appreciated, I should have said value. However I don't see how a legacy can be considered proof of objective morality.Quote:Originally Posted by bleonav06
