RE: Humans Are Not Smarter Than Other Forms Of Life, Just Different

in #philosophy7 years ago

The reason we do not have gill's is because we walked on land, tails because we don't hang of branches. We are the most advanced species on the planet and we keep advancing. Our average lifespan is increasing generation on generation.

advancing towards what? increasing lifespan for what reason? other species can live 4 years and replicate 10 times as much. why is lifespan more important than numbers?

Our chances of long term survival far outweigh that of any other species.

You need to ask cockroaches, mice and really 99% of all species on earth. They will be here and we will be long gone.

Our ability to travel into space and possibly create colony's is not something another species can hope to achieve.

and we do? we make the movies sure..but space colonies? that's a meme.

This planet at some point will become inhospitable and humans are the only species with a real chance of survival.

this planet went through 5 mass extinctions and yet life emerged once again

Ok i am new to this..so I cant reply and tag text fancy..will learn how in a minute. So please bear with me.

Increasing your lifespan and trying to survive is the base function of all life. Living organism's replicate.

I never said humans were the best at it. I only pointed out in the long term we have the greatest chance of survival. Due to our intelligence. Spaces colonies etc are merely 100's of years away. Much sooner than any perceived 6th Mass Extinction.

You ask people to take a grand scale of the universe and life in itself. Great idea. But to deny the clear fact we are the species with the most potential is failing to care about your own kind. We are worth much more than that!

if an asteroid falls the species that can block radiation and live underground will survive. it happened before actually. this is how WE came to be after the dinosaurs went extinct.

so, since we have not space ships yet, we are pretty much far behind in this respect.

Come on now... Do you really wan't to go the world is gonna end soon route?

We are talking about probability here. Please take timescale of previous mass extinctions into consideration. Your not trying to sell newspapers! Sensationalism never leads anywhere good.

Lets just agree humans are the most intelligent creatures on the planet and you made a boo boo :)

Come on now... Do you really wan't to go the world is gonna end soon route?

nop. you brought it up and I brought up the scenario. follow up man.

yes. we are more likely to get fucked than cockroaches and mice. space colonies are nowhere near other than Hollywood.

I said 100's of years.. you clearly have no interest in an intelligent conversation so i will bid you adue
