Are you implying that intelligence = extinction?

If nuclear war kills human kind, it will proove that point.

Intelligence doesn't directly do much at all, its just how it is used. And in Humans' case, its killing everything. (Well maybe not everythin, but it is doing a lot.)

EDIT:
Also that with modern medical practices people are keeping the "flaws" in the genepool and keep passing on the diseases instead of the carriers dying off. That may not be entirely a bad thing, but it is making the race weaker in some ways.

I certainly think that you're right there. Animals as we call them can live their own lives without "Intelligence". We handle it well with it too, but if we want to live in balance with the nature, it's proven better to not have mankinds intelligence. As you can see, our civilisation is basically ruining the nature by building new big cities, and for that we need wood, and guess what, wood comes from the nature!

countless millennia

generations******


if our lifespan was about 100 days, we would evolve at a "100-day rate".

im talking about the movie: mimic. look it up on google.

they set loose a genetically modified species to kill a diseases carrier (cockroach) but after 3 yrs it evolved, then people try to kill it.

on of the lines that i got this from is:

"dont think years, think generations"

and we live for about 100 years at a time.

on-topic:

no point to life. we are just here cuz of no reason..


life checklist:

sex..........[ ]
sex..........[ ]
sex..........[ ]
sex..........[ ]
and so on.

It didn't take a couple of generations for life of single celled organisms that existed 3.85 billion years ago to become the complex organisms of today, it took 385 million millenia. Humans may have an average lifespan of 74 years, however, evolution for us happens slower mainly because the majority of us survive long enough to pass our genes (it's generally major wars with millions of deaths that force us to evolve faster).

Why would you use a FICTION horror movie as evidence? Roaches, even if they were given millions of years to evolve, wouldn't transfrorm into some intelligent humankilling species; we would wipe them out using our technology just like with many other exctinct organisms.

The purpose to reproduction is to allow new generations of life to exist, though people now mainly do it for pleasure....

The golden reason why life exists, in gold: because we can. I'm still wondering why does it happen though.... Many people have said that life is about either living to help others, for loved ones, or for the good stuff, yet this wouldn't apply to the organisms that can't feel emotions.

There is no point to our exsistance or the fact that we are alive. If we died, nothing would change.

I find that it sorta releaves the pressures of dependence; like we dont have anything to worry about because it just doesn't matter. We will continue to live in our dream world where we humans are important and matter, but deep down inside we all know we aren't and that feeling helps us feel secure.

No pressure. kicking.gif

I agree with what l)ark_13 says. The life has no real purpose to it biologically. As he said, nothing really matters. Its your life if you want to go and get drunk every saturday night and not come to teh Map Night smile.gif

But hey. Don't look at the world in such a depressed way. I think as a depressed person I was and still am, I believe I have a say in this subject.

If you knew me from before, you would know im the kinda guy that would only believe in logics. well.. that way, we have no purpose in existance unless, of course, you believe in religion on some kind. You are just there. No point in existance. You exist. 3rd dimension. Stuck in a time. thats it. You can't do anything to change the position of that. You can try to be the future scientist trying to develop time travel, but thats just you.

IF you keep thinking of these kinda subject, you WILL get depressed. You will no longer see purpose in life. You will no longer want to do stuff you are doing now. So quit thinking about this stuff and go play outside. smile.gif

I only think about this stuff when I'm depressed. Currently, I'm flunking High School just because I worked on Golden Knight RPG and gained an addiction to Battle.net, though it's now here at SeN. I've also been diagnosed with Selective Mutism.

I'm probably not going to College anytime soon.

ADDITION: There doesn't seem to be anything left to discuss, so I'm locking it.
