what we don't understand on our own planet

[nowaysj]

I'm not convinced of this dude's biology credentials, you know.

Lol, I'm w/ u on that one.

People would do the same thing to the next planet.

About 95% sure of this.

With a possibly (for all intents and purposes) infinite number of colonisable worlds.... does it have to matter in the end?

Humans come, do their shit for a few thousand years, have their civilisation, world becomes unfit for humans, humans leave, planet evolves new life in all the places we leave empty?

I mean, it's not exactly a sentimentally beautiful existance, but I can't actually work out what the intrinsic problem with it is when you think on a geological/planetary scale (millions of years)...

What have we got that's worth saving?

Fox news?
Corduroy pants?
Watches that are actually teeny calculators?
I for one am not interested in expending an infinite amount of energy to reach another inhabitable planet, based solely on the idea that Vince from Slap Chop needs to keep his legacy alive.

Yeah, but there's never been an otter that wrote a concerto as well as Bach has there? Humans are fucking ace. Ok, so it takes about 5,000 Ian van Dahl's and shit indie bands to produce a single Kode9, but still... it's better than anyone else around here seems to have managed. Too busy fucking, eating and dying. Animals....*







*this is mainly a joke.

Have kids?

I'd spend 30 years in deep space to have my daughter experience the joy of carrying her sleeping child in her arms.*

I do have one, and it is my responsibility to teach him to respect his habitat.
My family does not rape and pillage the resources available to us. It's not a difficult concept.

Also, whales are gay.

Otters, Stoats, Mink, Weasels... Beavers..... I SHIT 'EM.

OI! BEAVER! LEAVE OUR TREES ALONE!

I'm with Deadly, we don't know squat. Hell, we can't even explain why we fuck. Sexual reproduction, and all the advantages and disadvantages that come with it, including death, don't make sense from an evolutionary standpoint. Asexual reproduction should be the norm, yet there it is - everywhere you look animals are fucking. Even Darwin couldn't explain it, and to this day, it still eludes our top biologists like Dawkins.

And fucking magnets, how do they work??

dude, every sentence in this quote is wrong, except the one about darwin, but only because genetics developed a bit later. ask someone with a degree or google, the answer is basic. i can't be bothered, sorry

Are you talking about the Red Queen hypothesis? Where we evolved to mix up our genes through sexual reproduction to out-evolve our parasites?

Well there's problems and contradicting evidence to that. Ask someone with a degree or google, I can't be bothered.

Think there are too many people here already to live in a sustainable manner.

Ok some of them are not so brilliant. But Weasels??? Next you'll be saying ferrets are shit too!

[xarcane]

WTF, squids can't become sentient. Their brains are all instinct.
