99% of all the species that have lived on this planet that we think
we own have become extinct. We will probably join them. The dinosaur
that lived for 150 million years became extinct. We have not yet
lived 3 million years and yet we think we are the masters. We are
fools to think so.
Yet, what is a fool? Is a fool happy? Yes, I think so. Because a
fool has delusions to keep him/her happy. What is intelligence? Real
intelligence is the ability to see the futility of it all. The
pointlessness of our existence and our failure to use our lofty
ideals to reach anything more than a craving for comfort that the
very logic of our humanity denies us.
We are not the species that will reach the goals or the potential
that life has to offer. So I can't help but wonder which species
will.
This could make me depressed. It used to, but these days I see the
sense in being a fool and enjoying my brief life. These days I see
the sense in turn a blind eye to the cravings of so called logic.
These days I see the sense in accepting what is and enjoying the
animal pleasures of a simple life filled with life.
To be a good human animal doesn't mean to become a savage. It means
becoming immune to the follies of others and walking the path of my
own instincts. It means ignoring the logic of this modern world and
listening to the wind and reading nature. This choice is still
available and it calls to me.
These ideas are unformed, they are not smart but the are sensible.
They are instinct personified into a belief.

You are doing wonderfully. Just do not expect to have communication with
others. You'll end up talking only to you. But you are almost there.

Thanks! Don't agree with your diagnosis though, because the catalyst
of this 'non conversation' worked beautifully in your case. You
actually talked!

I don't think I could ever be an atheist and want to go on
living.I'm not saying I share the beliefs of any paticular
religion.But I do think it's crucial for me to have some kind of
spiritual beliefs(I'm searching in that area right now.I feel
paticularly drawn towards eastern religion.)for me to think that life
is worth living...

Well, if that's the criteria, I'm fucking brilliant right now.

It wasn't a clever path chosen through choice. It was a kind of
defeated giving up that led me to where I am now. It seems giving up
is like peeling an onion, you have to do it layer by layer.
I am not you and you are not me which makes my experience unique. If
I could tell you how low I was it would surprise even you. If I
could tell you how hard this past year has been and how close I have
come to stepping off something high. Yet I knew this all before I
started down this path. Desperation made me choose this path,
complete exhausted desperation.
I am not living my life for me I am living it for others. Sound
noble? You bet your ***** it is noble. I have a job to do and I'm
doing it the best I can. This has some benefits in clearing up
personal confusion but I wouldn't recommend it. I am letting 'me'
die and replacing it with somebody who is useful because it seems
that is all that is left to me. Nature is not a friend to my goals
it is an enemy.
Now, I suggest you read that paragraph again knowing what I have
just told you. Then ask yourself if you still want to do it. Ask
yourself if you still want to know how.
Don't envy me Trudy, nobody should do that. You have so much more
than me. You have yourself and that may be a whole different package
of problems, but from where I am sitting you are way better off.
Sorry if I sound defeated and negative. I am just letting the
curtain down a little, dropping the mask that I wear on a permanent
basis and showing what is going on behind it. I shouldn't do that,
it is dangerous but I already feel the numbing effects of my
practised persona creeping back in to take over.

Simle answer to complicated question. No humans, as they are today,
are already on the road to extinction, no hope for the human monkey,
and it will be morned as much as homo erectus, a stupid, pathetic
creature.
It's our tech, very soon we will create our own succesor,
bioengineering, homo sapien, humanity will go the way of the
dinasours, and the new higher life form will take it's rightful place
as master of creation.
Not living in harmony with nature or the universe, no primoridal
links, a creature of our own design.
I'm studing biotech, will take years to be compotent, but I want to
try my hand at it, instill them will a genetic memories, like contempt
for pagen/eastern beliefs and the "wheel of life" and the
conectiveness of everything, they are not part of creation, they are
to dominate and rule over creation with a rod of iron.
No primordial drums, no primitive instincts, no emotions, just
unnatural intelligence with hard coded ambition to dominate all they
survey.

Ehrm, bioengineering requires some pretty precise work. I suggest you
learn how to spell first before you try your hand at something like that.
Otherwise the results might be unpredictable, to say the least, Dr.

Interesting. I like to hear what other's perceive as the future. I
think it says a lot about how they perceive the now.
