Save The Humans!

from Elemental Forums

So you've heard the news about the guy in the discovery channel building holding hostages and demanding they change their programming to reflect saving the planet? I suppose his heart's in the right place, but he's clearly crazy. If I could talk to him and people like him I'd tell him that his views are slightly misguided..

We don't really need to worry about saving the planet. If we continue to disrespect nature, The Planet will take a million or so years off, bulldoze us over with a major ice age, and create a new ecosystem. The only evidence that humanity ever existed will be tiny ground up bits of plastic that might get incorporated into whatever new life forms evolve.

Do we need to wake up and change our ways? Yes we do, but get your priorities straight. We don't need to save the planet, we need to save the humans!

My personal opinion is that humans have shown day in and day out that they are not worth saving.  

Ahhh, on second thought, I should probably rethink that. :-" :rofl:

The only way to save the humans is to kill the humans.

Obviously the best way to ensure mankind's legacy, other than leaving lots of plastic around, is to shoot a lot of boxes with earthly goodies and hello messages in all directions of space.

.........or just shoot all the humans into outer space,  the Earth will thank you for it.;)

Save The Humans, Kill The Politicians!

I'm generally the dissenting opinion here, but I like the humans and I'd rather they not make themselves extinct.

When I first heard some guy walked into a television station and took hostages, I thought: "Finally, someone solved the Glen Beck problem". Sadly there wasn't anything funny about it. But one thing does come to mind. How will they prove that playing Doom caused him to act like that?

This is what I think about that:

Including a Full Genetic make-up so some advanced alien race millions of years from now can regrow us in test tubes, because all the humans here on Earth will surely have died from mass stupidity outbreaks.

Meh the entire Discovery Network's gone down the tubes over the past decade, it's been dumbed down to the basest common denominator and will soon be another "The 'Learning' Channel" which is now nothing but back to back reality shows. RIP Educational Television, marketing to idiots is more profitable! Here come the Axe Men, Pawn Stars, and Ice Road Truckers YEEEE HAAAWWWWW! Derp Derp glug glug derp it's real derp.

Good idea, though I'd rather just take genetic samples of all life on earth (so that we can clone anything that goes extinct) and focus on developing the technology necessary to store our consciousness and transfer it into new bodies. We could send out probes to go grow clones on new worlds and upload us into them, hell we could even clone the same person a thousand times and he'd eventually delineate into a thousand similar individuals if we kept them all alive long enough.

I prefer the idea of transferring consciousness into androids. That would be a great fix for most of humanity's problems.

Not sure what that fixes other than death.  Humans bodies are not the problem, it's what is stored in thier consciousness that is of concern.  In other words do we really need politicians that don't die?
