i suspect this will be the eventual outcome, via the fermi paradox

not sure where your little blurb came from, but I completely agree with the thread title.

i am marking your words, and coupling them with my own from the last couple of years.

Tell that to the retards I tried to explain this to recently. They think that humans are "above" everything else. I continued to attempt to explain that intelligence/technology isn't shit and that survivability is really all that "matters" to nature (Although it's worth noting that even "mattering" is just a human concept).

9/25/2008 10:32:32 PM

its cool we made our world too stressful i'd rather go back to hunter gatherer

9/25/2008 10:48:58 PM

^ that's kinda how i feel about it...screw office work, it sucks donkey balls anyway

I think the most dangerous aspect of all of this is the likelyhood that if enough of America says "told you so" often enough, that there will be an enormous rift in the reality structure of our logical bubble of existence, swallowed whole by an unstoppable wave of smugness. What happens when Smug reaches critical mass
Billions will die simply from the realization that they are faggots, the rest will suffer slowly, as photos of themselves saying one thing, and doing another surface on myspace over the span of eons

9/26/2008 8:28:46 AM

i was scared for a minute, until you mentioned myspace

i don't use that crap

*whew*

but of course the mighty cold virus will rise up and smite us all!

dolt, no one was arguing your major point, however many were pointing out your ridiculous basis you put under it.

in the end everyone dies, we have our time now but all it takes is a bigass rock and we are all done anyways. so eventually yes, we are all fucked.

for the lulz

9/26/2008 9:46:20 AM

Only a true faggot uses the word "dolt."

Btw, just because you work as a fucking janitor at Duke doesn't mean you're an expert in anything.

That's why they call it fishing and not catching.

9/26/2008 11:29:45 AM

i suppose you could hunt in the same manner

9/26/2008 11:32:09 AM

^ See, again you think that being a janitor at Duke makes you an expert at something else.
