The human race is obsolete

🂿 · March 03, 2015, 10:42:22 PM

Think about it. Our design is primitive. We're one of the most flawed animals on the planet. We can't even survive out in the wild without anything man made. This includes clothing. We may have civilization to keep everyone at bay, but there is another flaw.

Civilizations don't last forever. Eventually Anarchy will ensue and people will do whatever they can to survive, even if it means to kill one another. It would be survival of the fittest by that point, The strong survive to live to see another day, the weak die immediately. We have technology right now, but we're all completely dependent on it. If technology were to be knocked out one day and we were all back in the dark ages, chaos would ensue. This generation of the human race would not be able to continue.

And there is nothing that you can do. Just like how technology itself has planned obsolesce, so do each and every single one of you. This is the fact of life. Every animal on this earth is doomed for obsolesce and the inevitable, death.

However, I believe that the entire human race is already in line to be wiped. Look at the dinosaurs, they didn't survive. Neither will humanity.

Oh, and if you believe that the over population will be the savoir of the human race, you are sadly mistaken. You're just speeding up the planned obsolescence of the earth. Because as of this moment, we have not found another planet that supports life and is at the right angle, and eventually this planet will turn into a lifeless rock just like Mars, and there would be no record of that because all the records we have will forever be gone.

Everything humanity has ever done will be nothing.

It's all about random chance at the end though. We're not smart enough as a species to over come many things, and there is still so much unknown out in the vast void of space. We don't even know our own planet inside out, our oceans haven't even been fully explored.

We're just as clueless as the rest of the animals that walk the earth except we have a mind to adapt with instead of just wandering around like a lost animal, but even at that we still have flaws in our system.

For instance, 5 years from now there is a chance that a meteorite that's the size if Manhattan New York is going to hit the earth leaving a massive crater killing all of us off in the process.

I haven't heard anything about it since 2005, and to be honest that's what scares me the most then the stupid bullshit that went on with the world ending in 2012. Oh and the world actually could have ended on July 23rd of 2012 instead. We were a few inches away of our planet becoming fried matter from the sun from what I've heard. I'm not sure just how true it is, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Oh, and if humanity is still alive when our sun is dying, good luck trying to survive that. It will wipe everything out of it's path when it explodes.

Except you, as a Human, are aware of your impending doom while no other animal on planet Earth does. How clueless are you now in comparison? Pretty big difference.

Source? We have plenty of near-Earth asteroid trajectories, but none guaranteed to hit, in fact all have a quite ignorable percentage of hitting. If there was a problem, I guarantee you NASA would be flipping shit all over the place and we'd be throwing money at them like fucking mad.

The penguins aren't smart enough to take over the human race because they're already obsolete from the beginning. Besides, they have Antarctica to themselves to fuck around with.

Except they won't, people band together and would rather ally than fight.

There's also this internet thing that breaks down social/geographical barriers allowing world-wide communication and learning. Also, great leaps in technology and social acceptance and structure. The world would not end easily.

The universe doesn't have standards. It just does as conditions permit. The stars may not wince when you die but they don't cheer when you accomplish either. It's true.

However that doesn't allude to us being obsolete. The only thing it alludes to is that we aren't 'this way' or 'that way' ultimately, and that the concept of even being obsolete is utterly meaningless.

Humanity is, and that is that. You can try to measure the state of our existence and judge it in any number of subjective ways, but that doesn't mean that said state is going to be any different the instant after you've finished measuring it and forming your opinion, than it was the instant before. The only thing you taking the time to measure and judge the state of humanity has the potential to change is your mindset which is no more absolute than the fleeting human race that gave birth to it.

Don't fret over impermanence. Humanity will pass but so does everything else. Animals, plants, love, hate, happiness, suffering, civilization, anarchy, the earth, the moon, and even those stars that don't even wince.
