Name just ONE true worth while achievement goal of the human race

doodo!doodo!
edited May 2011 in General Chat
Name one truly worth while thing we done as a race. Name ONE, then I'll believe that we truly comprehend anything.
Something that would go beyond argument, something that's certain? One thing, name just one thing we've done as a whole that actually benefits the rest of the universe or ties into some sort of worth while purpose, or shows a true comprehension, understanding of true value...

To me, it's all Earth bound nonsense, and it's all debate-able, and it all leads to violence, and greed, lust, personal profits, delusions, or rhetoric to prescribe value where we underachieve any true worth while goals as a race...

    We invented the internet which is almost another Universe inside our little plannet.

    Humans landed on the moon, thus proving human space travel and exploration can be done.

    Also, we're slowly but surely killing those damn trees. I hate those frakking things.

    Sorry but Sam and Max brought them all back.

    Your question is rigged. Name something truly worthwhile, but nothing is worthwhile because it's only worthwhile by our own earth-bound standards.

    Well, who else's standards are we meant to taken into account?

    As for the Universe, don't fuss over the Universe. In the great enormity of it all, the Universe cares as much for us as we care about an individual atom that makes up less than a billionth of an inch of skin. Thinking humanity matters on a universal scale is to be completely unaware of how big "The Universe" actually gets.

    Actually, I would say getting into space in the first place is more important. And was done by russian dogs.

    No see, if we hadn't broadcast the moon landing, we'd still be ruled by The Silence.

    Against all odds, Duke Nukem Forever AND a great (post MK3) Mortal Kombat game exist... IN THE SAME YEAR.

    Soak that in. Humanity has done the impossibru.

    Our flaw is the same as any living organism....self preservation. We will negate anything else, break every rule, throw morality out the window and do the most horrific things imaginable...just to survive.

    If by self-preservation you mean me living in a cave with one thousand gorgeous women with big titties, then yes, I'm afraid I'd have to make the supreme sacrifice.

    If you killed your neighbors to obtain them and then ate their bodies to live, yes, that would fall under that category.

    What are you talking about? My neighbors are one thousand single gorgeous women with big titties. I'd just survive on their milk and...you know this is just getting a little too weird.

    It's hard to say. Not being a Companion or other secondary character that happens to have been in the TARDIS at the time, I don't have access to Doctor-level technology. Granted, I don't really NEED to implant a blinking light into my hand in order to get more or less the same effect(really, I just need a voice recorder that has a light that turns on when you record something), but I haven't crafted that set-up.

    It's also, I think, unlikely that there are that many on Earth anymore. We've all been hunting them since the 60s, I think they've probably moved on at this point

    Yeah. But it's still been a while now. A few million years of existence is a fairly good record and we're still going strong. Unlike those dinosaurs.

    Entertainment like TV, Books Games, Music ect. No other creature in the known or unknown universe has anything close to our forms of entertainment.

    Pickles. We invented pickles.

    Really though, what kind of answer were you looking for here? As a species bound to one planet, I hardly see what you can expect us to accomplish that would "benefit the whole universe."

    Can you give an example of something that would benefit the whole universe? Proving the existence of God? Curing all disease forever? Inventing the hyperdrive?

    Tea. Why? Tea saved civilization. The Renaissance would have never happened if people had been drunk all the time and tea provided a good way to drink water without dying of some horrible disease (since the water was boiled first). Also, it has caffeine which helps with productivity.

    So yeah, tea.

    Some people out there have caught every single Pokemon. If that doesn't benefit the universe, nothing does.
