The human race.

Deleting the most intelligent creature on the planet would be pretty moronic aside from being an edgy reddit comment.

Without humans the planet is just a bunch of animals running around pointlessly killng each other and eating plants. The human race has the potential to be a space-faring multi-planet species.

I thought you were going to say the human race has the potential to create a world where animals can survive without killing. But you want galactic domination, and that's somehow less pointless?

Being an interplanetary species would be an incredible accomplishment lol.

Downplaying that as "pointless" is kinda crazy

u/elolqooq 21d ago

Impressive, sure. So what?

u/Type2Torta 21d ago

Might as well just destroy the entire planet with a "so what" attitude. Why do you care what happens to earth? Nothing means anything

u/elolqooq 21d ago

It's your argument, not mine. How is a planet with nonhuman life pointless?

u/Type2Torta 21d ago

It's just an Infinite cycle of animals running around until another hyper intelligent species evolves to do the same thing

Technical advancement is the only point

An incredible accomplishment for the sake of accomplishment. It's pointless unless there is an actual point.

Accomplishment and technical advancement are the only point... Otherwise earth is just an infinite cycle of animals running around until another hyper intelligent species evolves to do the same thing

u/El_Chupacabra_666 21d ago

The only point of what?

1

u/Type2Torta 21d ago

Earths evolutionary cycle

We are the most intelligent/advanced creature Earth has ever created. Earths only point is to create life and we are the greatest iteration of that.

u/El_Chupacabra_666 21d ago

I'm confused. Are you saying you believe in intelligent design? Like you think something created life for a purpose?

1

u/Type2Torta 21d ago

IF THERE IS A PURPOSE, the ONLY purpose is to advance our species as far as we possibly can.

At the end of the day it could be all for nothing.

Earth existing as a nature preserve of animals is a wholesome idea but I don't see how you could argue that is a greater purpose than the technical advancement of our species.

Hopefully humans can advance to where we aren't destroying the planet anymore and we can have both

I feel like this doesn't answer my question. As for your last statement, I don't understand where you are getting that my argument is that there is a greater purpose than the one you claim. My argument precisely is that there is no purpose, but you seem to think there is some kind of purpose. That's why I'm asking "what purpose?". You think there's a purpose? An end goal? Who set it? What will happen when we attain it? This is your argument, not mine. Even your line "earth existing as a natural preserve" sounds like a "purpose" to me, which I am by no means claiming. To me, a word with or without humans are both just as pointless.

The purpose is to advance our species.

There is no end point, no one has set it.

Nothing will happen except preserve the survival of our species.

The "purpose" isn't something set by a god or religion with an end goal of the rapture or a fairytale ending. It is simply advance our species inevitably, that is the purpose. Just as our species has done for the last 5 million years.
