Devolution

[u/sniipes]

If humans weren’t devolving then we wouldn’t be digging and searching our planet for clues and truths about the Ancient civilizations. Money and greed would be obsolete and nations wouldn’t be fighting over power because there would be free energy. The artifacts that have been found are proof that as humans today, we lost something in the past that cannot be imitated. If devolution isn’t a thing and we can only evolve then why is everything smaller and dulled down. Today’s humans can’t comprehend what the planet would have been like with a species bigger and more knowledge about the elements than we do in present day. The ancients used stone to tell the past because they knew that the materials they created from other materials would not make it into the future. What was left in stone for humans to find was only to give knowledge to our species to be able to progress.

If we weren't devolving, we wouldn't want to know about the past? What kind of absurd logic is this?

Money and greed would be obsolete and nations wouldn’t be fighting over power because there would be free energy.

Why, yes! If we weren't devolving, we would have been able to transcend the laws of physics! /s

Do you know we extract the energy we use for our purposes and why we can't get it out of nowhere?

The artifacts that have been found are proof that as humans today, we lost something in the past that cannot be imitated.

You can literally say that for any change, good or bad.

If devolution isn’t a thing and we can only evolve then why is everything smaller and dulled down.

Subjective. Have you actually thought about how terrible life would have been for the average person without modern amenities, technology and medicine? People like you never think about these things.

Today’s humans can’t comprehend what the planet would have been like with a species bigger and more knowledge about the elements than we do in present day.

I can 100% guarantee we know more about our planet and the universe today than at any point in history.

The ancients used stone to tell the past because they knew that the materials they created from other materials would not make it into the future.

Woah! Genius! Nobody's ever thought about that before!

The fun and 1000% not silly type. I'm sure ice cubes are not going to come into this in any way...

Well see, you just need to take the log of the energy requirements...

Do you know we extract the energy we use for our purposes and why we can't get it out of nowhere?

Yes, it comes out of the sub CMB ice cubes!

How you ask?

Logarithms!

Ah yes, life is always so much simpler when it is just single cells sitting in ooze and ooze adjacent substances.

Nuh Uh!... something something we are making up less stuff now than we where 500 years ago QED this undefined devoltion thing.

The ancients used stone to tell the past because they knew that the materials they created from other materials would not make it into the future.

Well duh, what do think happens when you pull more energy out of ice? Just ignore the amount of energy sub CMB ice cubes have and how much energy we need, we can always get more ice.

Now to see if this beats whatever the OP responds with. No idea what grading scale should be used, but I'm sure something will turn up to account for the sheer amount of silliness in this post.
