Humans and slaves
    #19176888 - 11/22/13 11:06 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Aren't we humans the zenith of the bio pyramid? We have our own slave labour classes that live only to feed us: chickens, cows, pigs, horses, etc. People say animals are mindless and even incomptent but if you look just a century ago, the world saw primitive people the exact same way a civilized man would look upon a dumb animal such as a donkey. Maybe one day cows will revolt and conquer the world and enslave the entire human race as revenge! What do you think? Also I hear an octopus can be quite intelligent and given some time it could evolve into something greater than humans...whatever that is what some professor said lol

I think that most animals are a few millions years away from evolving our level of intelligence, by which time we will be, ostensibly, more intelligent as well.


we're running a race and we were given a ridiculous head start

I think most animals are light years away from devolving into humans.

In the year 2,341,016 AD the Global Association of Bovine Advancement (GABA) will become the first nonhuman species to file a lawsuit against humanity, seeking reparations for millenia of abuse, humiliation, and mass murder. The leaders of the Global American Empire will in turn conspire against the cows, and on a cold day in February they publicly butcher and grill Dr. Tyson Cargill, the leader of GABA, enjoying their marbled steaks as Globalmerica watches in applause.

A century ago, people didn't have Google.  We now have Google, so every answer to every question is right at our fingertips.  Any human with a computer or smartphone is a god.

What civilized man would class another man, with the power to speak his mind and his feelings, with a dumb beast? For that matter, much of the "civilized" world continues to do just that even today.

Dolphins and whales are already smarter than humans. Industrial development is not a benchmark for intelligence or success, it's only a measure of regression. Our brains have been shrinking ever since cro-magnon, FYI.

That's true.  I'm making shredded beef tacos tomorrow to increase my overall power.

Evolution doesn't guarantee we're going to get smarter. If stupid people make more babies (and they do) then intelligence is an evolutionary disadvantage for humanity.

IMO this is a completely fair and accurate description of the current predicament. Ten thousand years of technological development has been slowly de-emphasizing the necessity of intelligence for human survival. It's on the record that our brains are shrinking.

The greeks knew 2500 years ago that the Earth was round, well enough to accurately calculate its size. A lot of people today figure it was impossible to know that sort of thing before technology made it possible to see pictures taken from orbit.

I personally don't think smart people make smart babies or stupid people make stupid babies..

But, I know little to nothing about human genetics.

But yeah, they could triangulate the stars and everything and all sorts of shit... its crazy

Whether it's genetics or upbringing is somewhat irrelevant to the fact that quick thinking and elaborate cognitive schema are being rendered obsolete by the comfort of a world that increasingly conforms to human needs. Imagine the mental processes of a fully-developed modern human who lived successfuly with none of the ready-made provisions that even the most deprived modern people take for granted. Be the cause for shrinkage genetic or developmental, it's a fact that early modern humans had larger cranial capacity than we do.

It's a non-issue though.  Humans are only going to enjoy this level of technological assistance for a short period of time before a good portion of it goes away.

It's not irrelevant if I was responding to someone that said "if stupid people keep making babies"

If you actually read my post I said nothing else besides not believing that didn't make much of a difference.

Your entire post is irrelevant to what I said.

Edit: It would help if I selected the right person in my reply.. my bad

I'm in the mood for verbosity, my bad. And yeah I was just about to dress you down for that when your edit showed up in the quoted text. :lol:
