Post: Mankind's Biggest Flaws
10-13-2010, 12:37 PM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Whilst sitting on the bog earlier I had a think about how I would improve the human race and subsequently what was most wrong with us as a species in general. To give you an idea of what I mean this could range from mental conditions to breaking bones all the way to our vulnerability of an alien takeover(don't laugh, it'll happen someday Winky Winky ).

Here's a list I've made:

- Our stupidity and general arrogance.
- Our fear of the unknown.
- Our hunger for power.
- Our hunger for knowledge.
- Our inability to accept everyone; our inability to live together in harmony and provide 100% equality.
- Our genetic instability during our creation(not worded correctly but you get the idea).
- Our cynicism.
- Our inability to comprehend so many things.
- Our hate.
- Our sexuality.

I could go on forever but I'm tired and I want to watch last nights' Eastenders :tits:

So, what do you guys think? :angel:

Actually Big Bang theorists have many other theories correlating with the Big Bang theory. There's string theory, M theory (Stephen Hawkings elaboration and other additional theories, to the string theory).

Also think about eternity. I was listening to my Science podcasts that I love oh so much and they were discussing terraforming on different planets that are in the goldilocks zone but aren't completely habitable. It got me thinking, possibly hundreds of thousands of years ago humans did this from another planet and our generation of humans ended up here. It's true that monkeys and such are descendants of our evolutionary path but maybe farther back than we might think and maybe even on a different planet. After all terraforming is bringing life from a planet to another planet.

The more you think about it the more it seems possible. Think how in touch Mayans and Egyptians were with maths, science, astronomy. I mean, they weren't the best at it, but compared to civilisations further along the path the knowledge seemed to deteriorate. This could be the first recorded (quite far away) descendants of humans who terraformed earth. These people could have just been few, and died out and just made enough humans biologically to inhabit the earth so that the species wouldn't die out. Who knows, it could be a cycle and it could of happened thousands of times from when we get to the knowledge of how to travel very far distances in short time, terraform planets and create life.

Obviously it's only a thought, not a theory or a realisation. It's just a cool thing to think about really.

I think mankinds greatest flaw has been its fascination or concern over what others are thinking or doing.

What they have,do,believe, and defining it by there personal experience.

Any Ways Back On Topic, Number 2 Is Complete Shit We Don't Fear The Unknown We Try To Understand It Thus Brings Me To Number 4, Knowledge Of What We Don't Understand Or Don't Know Of We Try To Explore.

But The Others All Make Sense To A Point, But Remember Their Has To Be An Imbalance Somewhere In Life Everywhere You Go Thing Are Just Unbalanced And Though Some Don't Work Out The Others Do. Its Strange People Don't Notice These Little Things In Life That Make A Massive Impact On Our Lives.

Sorry For This Being So Long I Get Sucked Right Into These Thread And Discussions.




Ahh i just watched that :(

At least he didnt get blown up from a mine Smile

You say that but we're learning new things about science etc each and everyday, before long we will have the potential to create something like you described but much more efficiently.

Remember just (insert number here) years ago we thought the world was flat.
Then the TV.
Then the airplane.
Then the moon.

We're always advancing, it's only a matter of time until we can do these seemingly impossible things.


It's not the same thing. It's not that we don't have the technology, it's that the laws of physics prevent the technology from being created. We already have short-distance wireless power, but - like I said - it's horribly inefficient.

Not even CLOSE to the same thing. Unless you can figure out a way to harness fluctuations in the quantum foam short of creating your own black hole to emit Hawking Radiation, this cannot work.

Like I said I have absolutely no idea about how it's achieved but read up on Tesla because he cracked it!


No he didn't, he just patented devices that he theorized could work to propagate energy. There is also a patent for a cure to the AIDS virus, but that doesn't mean it works.

Actually, M-Theory wasn't developed by Hawking at all. Most of the current M-Theory was written by Ed Witten.

Possible, but life would have to have been brought in the form of primitive single-celled organisms for Earth to currently have the variety that it does. It also violates Occam's Razor, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's not true. Life had to begin somewhere, and there is no evidence so far to suggest that that somewhere wasn't Earth.

That's because of the fall of the Roman Empire and the Dark Ages.

This doesn't make any sense because we are biologically related to other organisms on Earth that existed long before the Egyptians and the Mayans.

Again, yes it's possible, however there is no evidence to suggest it is true.

Unlimited power can create knowledge... otherwise it's not unlimited.

The devices worked. Tesla coil. Infact we'll probably be using it soon enough.

More plausable than a hairy jew being crucified and coming back to life surely?

Read a book called 'Chariot Of the Gods', it's incredible.

Along with burning all history and books and we've probably missed out on a lot of history that's been covered up.

I never said they were the first recorded people, but descendants closer to the first humans than us (obviously..)
