because humanity chooses to see that which they WANT to see... humans seem to have an amazing ability to ignore the most obvious things, until they come and glare them in the eye.... Even then some remain blind. And why is that humans should not exist? We're pretty good at the survival game actually. We adapt well, us intelligence and raw force (intelligence lets you invent new ways to apply raw force) and we never settle for anything (we always want more). Also we can critisize ourselves.

I had an interesting dream...
Earth was running out of oxygen. We created a giant machine in the middle of a huge lake. It produced oxygen. But it became so horribly corrupted, it's almost impossible to describe. It produced tiny bits of air, but it produced so much pollution that the lake turned completely green, and most of the Earth was polluted because of that 1 machine with deadly toxins. It is impossible to shut down because coming NEAR the LAKE would kill you instantly. That's how horrid it was. People had to survive without oxygen for a while before the machine spurted out more.
I can't even describe the dream completely, it was so...grotesque.

very tasty alice... we are just animals, but we are seperated from the animal familys, but not in the good way that people like to think, and we arn't better than animals like the bible says, but we are different. we are different because we kill without need, we mate for pleasure, and we have cut down natural selection to an unhealthy minimum. this makes our presecence on earth a blight and curse.

Technology has destroyed natural selection. So basically we are drowning in our own brilliance.
P.S. If sloths had the conscious minds of humans, I'm sure they'd be doing just about as bad as we are. The downfall of nature has nothing to do with us being humans, but us being just too good at this survival game.

Actually, dolphins, and bonobo chimps also mate for pleasure. Just though you might want to know.
About natural selection, I think that human civilization should institute social darwinism to inorder to keep our gene pool clean.

i'm afraid u'll find a lot of opposition to that idea... it sounds too much like bad policies of the past... like Hitler's, for example

That is very true. One reason that people don't like the policy of social darwinism is that they don't want to have their own ability to reproduce disabled... As soon as it is made clear that social darwinist policy targets people based only on bad actions towards society, namely, people might accept it more hopefully.

So we should all kill stupid people to save the course of the world's natural resources, and thus, humanity?

That's exactly why such a thing is not being done.

sorry, remind me, was that not the point i was just making? was it necissary to repeate me? or did u assume that i wasnt aware of that issue and was making a naive comment, in which case consider me very insulted

I'm sorry for insulting you, but you give me reason to believe as such... ;D
(D)
Just out of curiosity, you seem to take everything I say as a personal attack and offense. Why is that so? Must I be "questioning your intelligence," or just too "numb-minded to realise you were making a point"? Perhaps I was just verifying your ideas. I was not going against you, but going with you. You must let your self see that once in a while.

Maybe I should write a key for my statements. How is this:
(D) = don't take this seriously
(S) = this is sarcasm, but it should be taken seriously
