AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around feelings of shame regarding humanity and the desire to escape to another planet, particularly Mars, where the poster believes smarter beings might exist. Participants engage humorously, questioning the poster's perspective and suggesting that feelings of superiority are unwarranted. They discuss the challenges of living in a rainforest, highlighting the adaptability of native species compared to humans. The conversation touches on environmental concerns, particularly oil spills, and the perceived incompetence of human efforts to address such issues. There is a recurring theme of feeling alienated in a world that seems increasingly irrational, with some suggesting that instead of seeking escape, one should work towards positive change within society. The dialogue blends humor with serious reflections on human nature and societal shortcomings.

I'm feeling a bit shamed by the human race currently do you think I could defect to the martians? Has anyone else ever wondered if it was possible to be relocated to a planet with smart people? I mean really what did I do wrong to be stuck here with ya'll?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
But then you'd be the dumbest person in the world
 
People like you are meant to be on this planet... You know, to keep it balanced! :biggrin:
 
We were all wondering how we got stuck with you.
 
What are you doing asking a bunch of shameful imbeciles questions? Wouldn't you be better off asking the aliens directly? :wink:

Also, using correct punctuation will help us idiots understand your superior intellect.

Right, don't you know it's y'all, not ya'll?
 
No I don't believe aliens will care how well I spell english in fact even using it may be a reason for rejection :(

Why ? To feel even more ashamed than you already are ?
 
I'm fine with feeling ashamed. Living on a planet where they spin magnets to generate power I am not...

If it's any help, I don't think you're any smarter than we are. How's this?

Currently, I'm feeling a bit ashamed of the human race. Do you think I could defect to the Martians? Has anyone else ever wondered if it were possible to be relocated to a planet with smart people? I mean really, what did I do wrong to be stuck here with you?

Doesn't carry the same effect... Anyhow all I really was trying to start up was a thread for people who feel like aliens in a world full of humans.

If you don't feel human, may I respectfully suggest therapy ? You may have a hard time coping with the rest of us.

You can't say that the effect you carried was all that good.

Oh believe me I do have a hard time coping with y'all but I must so I do. I should just move to rain forest and hope it doesn't get chopped down to power a train that takes people to new places. However unrealistic that is.

I believe you will die 1001 deaths in the rain forest before said rain forest has any chance to be chopped down by technology :P

Have fun coping with malaria, infected wounds, venomous snakes and insects, predators who will eat you like a insignificant snack, building a shelter, hunting for food, and other such mundane activities.

Rain forests don't have much food that can be eaten by humans. That's why the native inhabitants eat anything they can, insects, rodents, reptiles.

Thouse can all be eaten by humans...

Humans may be eaten by Martians too :wink:.

So what brought about this desire to leave the planet?
 
  • #22
Eh I don't really want to but this oil spill bs is kinda making me rethink that...

I mean like I understand that accidents happen even stupid ones. But this problem shouldn't be that hard to fix. The part that really got me going was when they said they were going to burn it and I thought it was an ok idea to deal with the problem. Then I found out they only burned small a few patchs and put containment stuff around it so the fire wouldn't spread... It's like wheres it going to spread to when it's in the ocean... I would have carpet bombed as soon as it started to become almost state sized... Now we can basically consider the oceans dead for the next hunder years or so. Heck I still think they should just burn it even now that some of it is on land. I'll take a few forest fires or what ever over dead oceans.

I think they spin magnets too.

There's no assurance that we can eat them or that they can eat us. In fact there's a 50-50 chance ther're inedible. Proteins on Earth (amino acids actually) are handed. If you try to eat opposite-handed meat it is indigestible and might actually give you mad cow disease (prions are proteins and smaller which are flipped the wrong way.)

What's wrong with spinning magnets? That's about the weirdest complaint about the human race I've ever heard.
 
  • #25
I just saw a bunch of reruns of My Favorite Martian. Your plan is doomed.

I don't know how related my sentiments are to yours, but I often feel extremely ashamed to be a member of the human species. With few exceptions, the people I have met in my life can be described as overgrown children, wrapped in their own insecurities and protected from growth and meaningful interaction by a myriad of protections and defenses of their own creation. Protections and defenses that afford them the ability to go through life on autopilot--almost as if they were asleep. I feel that they so horribly miss the point of living, and at times it seems that this disease is so deeply rooted that those affected are unable to even notice it is there--or worse, able but unwilling to acknowledge its existence.

Fleetingly, I have thoughts of how our primitive race might appear to a more advanced civilization--one that has overcome their primal instincts to become ... something else. Words fail me here. I oftentimes have difficulty expressing my thoughts about the subject because it seems we have so few words that even relate to the concepts I wish to express.

Nevertheless, after this I am then preoccupied with thoughts of how I personally would be judged by such a civilization. I am left only to wonder how primitive I might appear to them...

But I dunno. Maybe everyone else is perfectly fine and I'm just the crazy one.

@magpies:
I'm an alien and I don't accept you. Anyone that finds spinning magnets odd is not welcome on Mars. Ya'knw, we don't have magnetic field here, so this is kinda taboo topic for us.
 
  • #28
A better question: would the aliens notice you?

Just in case you are being serious, not about the alien part, but about noticing the overwhelming stupidity that has become modern the last decades - you should try to contribute toward change things for the better.

So far no man has been in deep space for a long time, not even lab mice, chances are you're going to go crazy long before you reach Mars ;) ISS does not count as outer space really... it's well withing the protective shell of the planet, it's pseudo space...

Plus what good is living with the potential microorganisms there? Sure, they won't be stupid, but won't be too smart either ;)

Here is an image for you:

Magpies, buck *** naked, post probing, face down in a crop circle with "Return To Sender" lasered into the flesh of his buttocks. :)

Plus sooner or later someone is going to come and chop down that tree. It seems that destroying the natural habitat of wildlife has become a top priority for the human kind, and all the tree huggers aren't doing any good besides reinforcing the ex global warming, now climate change hoax, that aims to introduce new taxes and nothing more...

Ah, but Monsanto is bringing protein enhanced Cassava to these regions, but of course, with a cap and after that, a price. That is a lot of what you eat in a jungle.

So, am I the only one who saw this thread and immediately thought of Porno for Pyros?

Martians would like Uranus.

Maybe this is your problem. You underestimate monkeys by thinking that you are capable of anything they are capable of because you are more intelligent. You give no consideration to the fact that they are adapted to live in that environment and you are not. Unless you are some kind of rain forest survivalist guru, you are not a superior surivalist compared to a monkey in its natural habitat. Those simple monkeys could have a lot to teach you about how to survive if you used real intellect to learn from them, rather than pseudo-intellect to assauge your insecurities.

You're not alone on Mars, or in the rain forest. You're just lonely, feeling superior without any frame of reference, refusing to learn how to survive from the primates that are thriving all around you. I don't expect you would fare any better on Mars or in the rain forest than you do in society until you admit to yourself your inclination towards pessimistic resignation. That at least would be a conscious decision.

The dude abides
