Did I ever 'assert existence as a good thing'? No, existence is something that is indeed 'Beyond Good and Evil'.Dalek Prime wrote:I think stupid species survive. The smart ones go extinct on purpose. And dinosaurs just got plumb lucky.
BTW, UA, I think you're right about consciousness being problematic, but to then assert existence as a good thing, when it is the prerequisite for consciousness, is simply ass backwards.
But consciousness as soon as you become aware of it makes you aware - And that awareness is where all of
your value judgements come into play. The problem Humans have is that there is a defect in their awareness
- They are aware of values, higher ideals and potentials but for reasons we do not fully understand are incapable
{as of yet} of instituting their idealism. Have you ever even thought about how rapidly your technology could
progess if you stopped trying to find ways of destroying each other in useless and fruitless wars
- And if this current communication has no other purpose, it is make you aware that your species still has
the potential to evolve to states higher than your imagination can yet comprehend
