But I think there is value in humanity though of course we're a species capable of extreme evil in ways other earth animals are not. The problem is here . arrogant in a broad sense; maybe I should have written "may" or "is still able to" survive; despite all the bulls*hit he does regularly ... Being said to be the most intelligent species; the most intelligent compared to what or to whom? Since a while ago (yesterday, in fact) I wrote that the profession of doctor does not seem useful to me; what do you think of that of artists in general and more particularly musicians; I cannot live happily without listening at least once a day to concerto n * 3 in D minor by Rachmaninoff; and if played by Yuja Wang, it's a plus for me.

How can a so-called superior being with an intelligence above all other species believe such nonsense? . I think to be fair the problem is that most people believe almost anything if you only repeat it often enough. When kids grow up with parents who are sure there is a god and go all the time to church then I guess that becomes an absolute normal part of your life, like eating every day. I think most of us would never think about not eating every day. That's just what you do - everybody does it. And maybe religion is similar. If you always did it and everybody around you did it then it's difficult to even think about that that is not necessary. Imagine if you are i.e. 30 years old and imagine how much time you wasted with religion. I guess it's a lot easier to just continue and not think about it too much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, people brainwashed into eating 3 meals a day. 99.5% of history humans ate once or less. I tell people I dont eat breakfast or lunch and they think it's crazy.
