gIfd like to share with you a revelation, Ifve had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species that I realized you arenft actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with its surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply, and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are plague, and we...are the cure.h -- Agent Smith, The Matrix

We sure do act like a virus, don`t we? Multiplying at breakneck speed, invading lands -- moving out of Africa, to Europe, Asia, America etc... destroying, displacing fauna, causing extinction in our wake.

Can we voluntarily stop our destruction to the Earth and cease our ballooning numbers? Should we just maintain our numbers? Or, should we decrease or even possibly voluntarily self destruct through breeding down and out?

Could we be The Terminator of our own selves?

gYou must lower me into the molten steel, John.h -- The Terminator

Do viruses sometimes eat themselves and commit suicide? The fictional Terminator was a living tissue machine, and like it, we as living beings employ our machines (extensions of our selves) which result in devastating destruction to surrounding echo systems like viruses do so to other cells and organisms. Should we and could we turn ourselves and our machines on ourselves with the expressed purpose to self destruct -- if not totally, then in some limited manner?

Is our logic or future knowledge of higher logic enough to reason ourselves out of existance or reign us in to keep us at the mercy of natural forces? Could logic, knowing that we are a destructive species overcome our urge to propagate?

Do you think we should roll back our population, maintain it, or increase it to the Earth`s maximum carrying capacity? In case of the first two, what would be your suggestions to effect those goals?

I believe we should roll back our numbers significantly. I will go into more detail on this in later posts. What are your initial thoughts on population growth, policy, or control? View more random threads same category:
