We're fortunate that those make up for us being one of the weakest, slowest, least physically accustomed species among those at the upper portion of the food chain.Why does being faster, stronger count for shit when those other abilities allowed us basic mastery over a most of the landmass on the planet?Oh, that has little to do with how physically powerful we are, and more to do with humans fucking a hell of a lot more than most of the other large predators. Seriously, we breed like rabbits, except rabbits don't gang up on gorillas and hippos. Also, we don't run away when one of us is killed, we turn back and kill whatever took one of us down. Few other animals do that.In short, we could drive them out, but they could never drive us out, even though they could kill us without much trouble if they turned and fought.Again, try no man made weapons at all. We wouldn't win the fight.Deci removing our ability to make and use tools is like removing a lion's claws and teeth or a falcons eyesight.It's our natural advantage over other species.How is it our natural advantage if what we create is artificial?that's an arbitrary distinction and you know itHow so? Elaborate please.Because our natural advantage is that we are smart enough to use what is around us to our advantage. The fact that what we make is "made by humans" does not take away from the fact that it is the way we evolved to deal with our surroundings.But everything we made took time. What if we had nothing again? How would we manage to rebuild?With time.And do you think with the way this generation is now that would be possible?Considering every generation has looked at the next generation with contempt, yes.[Insert that really old quote about the next generation and how they're terrible here]

It's how we even out (and more so) the physical playing field with other predators.But think about it. What if we didn't have this ability to create tools? How would you expect the human race to survive let alone adapt?

The fact that what we make is "made by humans" does not take away from the fact that it is the way we evolved to deal with our surroundings.But everything we made took time. What if we had nothing again? How would we manage to rebuild?With time.And do you think with the way this generation is now that would be possible?Considering every generation has looked at the next generation with contempt, yes.What do you think about the next generation then? You think it has a chance even? Especially with the way things are right now?

How would you expect the human race to survive let alone adapt?That's a terrible hypothetical...

I'm sorry but the way I see it, eating, shiting, pissing, fucking, and sleeping are what I consider natural.Yes because it is a product of this universe. It didn't just pop into existence with no external influence. The internet wouldn't exist if nature didn't allow us to exist as a part of it and thus create the internet.Simply because we have a higher intelligence does not mean we are separate from nature. We still exist and act in this universe according to conditioning, and the internet is just another product of that.But how is the internet natural exactly? Yes humans are responsible for it's creation, but think of it this way. How is software itself considered natural?Right now all this here is software. There is no physical media involved. I can't touch the threads with my hands or touch any of the words on screen. I can touch the screen but that doesn't count.

Humanity isn't exempt from nature. Everything we do is 'natural' in that sense.So the internet is considered natural to you? I'm sorry but the way I see it, eating, shiting, pissing, fucking, and sleeping are what I consider natural.Yes because it is a product of this universe. It didn't just pop into existence with no external influence. The internet wouldn't exist if nature didn't allow us to exist as a part of it and thus create the internet.Simply because we have a higher intelligence does not mean we are separate from nature. We still exist and act in this universe according to conditioning, and the internet is just another product of that.But how is the internet natural exactly? Yes humans are responsible for it's creation, but think of it this way. How is software itself considered natural?Right now all this here is software. There is no physical media involved. I can't touch the threads with my hands or touch any of the words on screen. I can touch the screen but that doesn't count.It's natural to me because anything that exists as a part of this system (that being our universe) is a part of nature. You can't touch emotions or ideas either but they're just as natural.For me, nature isn't any specific part of reality, it IS reality.Hmmm.

How would you expect the human race to survive let alone adapt?That's a terrible hypothetical...How? Think of the possible outcomes. Everything in this universe is dictated by probability. That means there was a chance where humanity could have not adapted or not have been smart enough to have this ability to think ahead of other animals.then it wouldn't have been humanity as we know it.The fact remains that humans do have that ability.Well, I suppose that's true.

I can touch the screen but that doesn't count.It's natural to me because anything that exists as a part of this system (that being our universe) is a part of nature. You can't touch emotions or ideas either but they're just as natural.For me, nature isn't any specific part of reality, it IS reality.Hmmm. I suppose you have a valid point, so your saying our own manufactured reality with time and internet is part of nature?Quote from: SexyBarracuda on March 04, 2015, 12:16:59 AMQuote from: Decimator Omega on March 04, 2015, 12:15:20 AMQuote from: TBlocks on March 04, 2015, 12:13:31 AMQuote from: Decimator Omega on March 04, 2015, 12:12:33 AMQuote from: Plotmaster | Fluid Druid on March 04, 2015, 12:11:29 AMAnd, er, sorry Deci, but they're absolutely right when they say humanity's niche is its ability to make tool. It's how we even out (and more so) the physical playing field with other predators.But think about it. What if we didn't have this ability to create tools? How would you expect the human race to survive let alone adapt?That's a terrible hypothetical...How? Think of the possible outcomes. Everything in this universe is dictated by probability. That means there was a chance where humanity could have not adapted or not have been smart enough to have this ability to think ahead of other animals.then it wouldn't have been humanity as we know it.The fact remains that humans do have that ability.Well, I suppose that's true. But what if only ONE human on earth survives. Then what?he either makes the best of his situation or kills himself due to despairWhat if the last human being on earth is female?change my pronounswhat if the last person on earth is an attack chopper?An attack chopper is an inanimate object.Silly human.
The human race is obsolete
