How do you think the world will end?

[Blind Guardian]

Once we humans and all our shit is gone the earth will turn into eden again. Ironic enough no one will be able to enjoy it,except from the animals

 

[Krilons Resa]

As far as I'm concerned, my existence and everything I'm experiencing is 'the world'

In that case, the world ends when you die. No?

Id love to engage in this thread more but I gotta get going. This is a good one. I havent read it all yet but I dont see any shit-flinging yet.

 

[Never78]

Sure it is. Convenience is stagnation and death?

So strife is not a necessary part of growth? Do not our obstacles enhance our character? How does television and video games make a nobler race of men? Of course you can take what I said to the extreme and then I suppose it might have some small amount of "funny" to it. Fact is that most people these days can't even start a fire without burning themselves let alone survive for a month in the wild.

That's a very good point. There is probably a better way to convey what I'm trying to say.

Are you being serious?

They Do.

Shinobi has made me into a ninja master.

I've seen these sorts of things. Change the sentence to "Can't start a fire".

Television and video games are symptoms of a lazy and selfish society... live with it. You're enjoying a third diversion in our world: the internet. Human beings in this day and age don't need to know how to survive for a month in the wild, for better or worse, because we've mastered our surroundings and rearranged them to our needs and wants.

Some say one day we will engineer a race of nano-bots that are infinitely small, but have the potential to replicate themselves to the point that they engulf the entire surface of the planet.

I do.

 

[Ender Rises]

I didn't say nobody knew how, only that most people don't need to know how.

The internet is a decent learning tool; but in any case, this argument is a fallacy and holds no water in refuting my point.

I never said we needed to survive in the wild, I said that our current life of superfluity is stagnation. All you did was clarify that life. Though the "needs" part of your statement is highly debatable.

Why do you despise television and video games so much? Television is as much a learning tool as the internet. Sure, a lot of the crap on it is just that... crap. But the same is true for the internet. Video games are leading to breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, so I don't see how that's a bad thing either. As for our "stagnation"... how are we stagnated? We have more free thinkers than ever before, we are more highly educated than ever before, we are making unprecedented movement in new technology. I simply don't see this stagnation you're talking about.

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

Actually, proffeser ignoramus, the technology pace is the fastest it's been in history.

Ender, he purposely misspells shit

*facepalm*

 

[Rabid Headbanger]

Thankyou. It was purposeful to emphasize his lack of knowledge.

 

[The Ozzman]

lol at e-facepalming me for something extremely obvious

 

[Ender Rises]

I never noticed it.
