I'll go first,
Several years from now, the third great war starts. The world turns into two nations, both completely controlling every aspect of their people. After 12 years of fighting, The worlds economy, and climate collapse. Killing everyone who has not died already.]]>A deliciously creamy way to go. BRING ON THE APOCALYPSE RIGHT AFTER DINNER BABY!]]> A deliciously juicy way to go.]]>>>1024008
Hivemind]]> And those nations are called the Arm and the Core!!!!]]> Then the atmosphere is ignited.]]>Pfft, screw that. I'd end it all with a single massive booming voice. "Well, we had a good run! That was cool, lets try it again sometime! Alright... BEGIN THE SUPERNOVA! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMOTHERFUCKINGHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"]]>glass half empty >>1024041 glass half full]]>that picture is AWESOME.]]>glass half 2girls1cup]]>...ew]]>Duffman Digs Robots!J66y88ZdHsThe world has no purpose without humans, you PETAfag, we're the only sentient race here who can appreciate it.]]> Agriculture is impossible due to soil and weather conditions at this temperature.
At best we will try and simply curb our CO2 emissions, nevermind try and repair the system. Methane gets released in mass. We all starve.
No aliens, no grand final war, no zombie virus, just ecological collapse and starvation.]]>I'm no PETAfag, I just don't like people. Animals are pure, they have no ill intent, just the will to survive. They don't betray you or try to kill you after you've bonded with them. Besides, I wouldn't necessarily call what humans do to the planet "appreciating".]]>FURFAG ALERT FURFAG ALERT FURFAG ALERT FURFAG ALERT]]>Really? Because I was attacked by a dog that I had known for years, never gave me any problems just one day decided to randomly maul my face. Besides, ever watch animal planet? Yeah..take a look.
Unless you have personally spoke with all the animals on the earth, shut the hell up.]]>Animals aren't pure. They're non-sentient. They have no value. Only thing we know of that is sentient is a human. Humans alone have value. Everything else is useless if humans aren't around to appreciate or exploit it.]]>FURFAG]]> /thread.]]>gtfo you fucking idiot, it's true, without humans earth has no fucking purpose]]>Hm, fucking middleschoolers on 4chan again: let's define sentience, shall we?
sentient |?sen ch (?)?nt| adjective able to perceive or feel things : she had been instructed from birth in the equality of all sentient life forms.
You're right, animals sure are non-sentient. Durrrrp.]]> How do you explain that? I just don't get it, seems that you're basically saying that this whole fucking planet was made for us. Christfags..]]>Sentience as defined by Augustine, Epicurus, and Socrates is the ability to think and reason morality or amorality.
Animals cannot. Animals are incapable of morals or real emotion. They are worthless without us.]]>Nope, atheist. Christfags would probably be more prone to caring about other living things if they follow their religion since it instructs stewardship of the earth. As for me, without intelligent life, this planet has no purpose.]]> Care to explain me what is the function of our planet? Sustain life? To me it seems to do that even if all the humans just were wiped away.]]>Believe it or not, but animals also think and reason. Although it isn't nearly as complex as our thinking and reasoning, it still is thinking and reasoning.
Morality and amorality originally stemmed from empathy, and guess what--if you do some research, you will find that there have been recent legitimate scientific studies that prove conclusively that animals do exhibit empathy.
Sorry, but your thoughts that animals are not sentient do not hold one drop of validity.]]>The function of the planet is to allow intelligent life to survive. Everything else is expendable in so much as its extermination will not cause human extinction. We alone can truly enjoy life. If another intelligent lifeform inhabited the planet, then that'd be a fine reason to keep it, but, without one, fuck it, everything should die.]]>...the furfag is pretty fucking gay and annoying, but you're creepily nihilistic...
you're all fucking retarded]]>i agree with this in a certain sense. namely, if i'm dead, i want everything to die because it is meaningless to me then]]>oookay, take it back, other guy is sort of nihilistic, you're a fucked up psycho]]>Oh yeah, because there is no chance for rebirth. Energy just happens to fucking vanish from the Universe everytime a person dies. Makes perfect fucking sense...]]> Everyone and everything starts to fuck up, due to weird day/night hours and the lack of seasons.
10 years later, if we're even still alive, the moon rams itself into earth as we pass into its new orbit around the sun.]]>This is truth.]]> sen·tience /?s?n??ns/ noun sentient condition or character; capacity for sensation or feeling.
sapience
noun ability to apply knowledge or experience or understanding or common sense and insight [syn: wisdom]
QUIT BEING FAGGOTS. ANIMALS ARE SENTIENT, THEY FEEL AND REACT, AND ARE SELF-AWARE. HUMANS ARE SENTIENT TOO, BUT ARE ALSO SAPIENT DUE TO INTELLIGENCE. LEARN THE GODDAMN DIFFERENCE. MOTHERFUCKERS.]]> OH PULEEEZE.]]> If not, seriously, WTF>>1024559]]>>>1024559 >>1024249 >>1024269 >>1024539 And thus you have all proven my point. Humans have no use if they all think and behave in such a horrible manner as all of you have just displayed to me. You in fact, represent so much of what I hate about people. Human beings are terribly selfish and fundamentally evil in all respects. No matter what religion or belief system you follow, nothing good is ever accomplished by the hands of a person. Animals are not capable of evil, nor good really, but at least they don't pretend to be some sort of self righteous saviors. Animals just follow instinct and if you treat them with love and kindness, they grow to trust you. Betray that trust, and they attack you, but you really need not fear the animal breaking that trust because they see no potential benefit in hurting something that has been kind to them. Therefore, I do not see any reason to let animals perish when all I want is for mankind to suffer. Arrogant, selfish, unkind people like you personify my view and only strengthen my argument.]]>trolls aplenty undoubtedly]]> How come you can say that there aren't any other species that evolve into something like we're now. Also, appareantly some monkeys and dolphins are capable of senitent thinking. Those millions of years that humans took to evolve into what we are, is just an eyeblink in the scale of our universum. Also, what about other planets?]]> Same here. It's one of the reasons why I like to do my bit to destroy the environment. Future generations be damned. I will be wormfood, and they'll ALREADY be enjoying a higher standard of life, possibly living longer etc. due to technological progress? Fuck that, thanks.]]>...Seriously, he's a tool, but good fuck, you're a dipshit too. Every one of you best be trollin'.]]>STOP MISUSING SENTIENT DAMMIT.]]>Troll theorist here:
I believe this is part of the trolling that it continues to be used]]>Yeah I know. But I'm in a bad mood at the moment so I'm picking this one thing to bitch about. :D]]> The natural world is more nightmarish than the human one. Cuckoos work on deception, predators kill off the weak, insects eat mates, in fact the whole insect world is a fucking nightmare. You can't say fucked up behaviour is not present in animals. Only value judgements are not present in animals.]]> That's the kind of attitude that makes me rage. Why in the hell you have lost your faith in humans? A human is perhaps intelligent and may even care more than animal. Humans are, well basically just one of the many species that follows their instincts. The concept of moral and immoral, the good and bad are just humanity's own illusion, nice fairytale to believe to. Your precious animals aren't right or wrong, they follow their basic instincts. Same way as humans.]]>No, it's no more or no less. it's just different. Just because we can think and talk about "The Human World" and the "Natural World" doesn't make them distinct or separate. Manhattan is just as natural as a termite colony. We are nature.
There's plenty of animals that have adopted non sustainable practices for short term growth. They go extinct. Nature's pretty good at sorting this out.]]>An optimist will never understand the pessimist. A social butterfly will never understand the misanthropist. Accept differences as they come. It's what makes the world interesting, and gives psychologists a field to study in.]]> Animals actually do have emotions and many social animals have a sense of what could be described as morals within their social structure. All morals are are social rules and mores which make it possible for us to live together as a society or unit. Study dolphins, lions, wolves, primates, or any pack animal really.]]> All I'm doing is that I'm explaining my own point to another person. I pretty much let anothers live as they want, but that "Humans suxx, baww, yiff yiff"-BS gets me bit upset. Also I'm bored as hell, and its like 3 am here.]]> Let me correct you on that. Without you, the planet has no purpose to you and you alone because there isn't anything that can hold purpose to someone or something that does not exist. Without humans, the planet would still hold a purpose to other living beings since it provides the environment they need to survive. People are not the end-all, be-all of existence in an objective sense. Your argument is true in a purely subjective sense as it pertains to all humans, but you attempt to apply it as an objective truth. This is the major flaw in your argument and that flaw is the point of contention with everyone who has argued against you.]]> I know I'm making an unscientific distinction, but I was arguing within the dichotomy that seemed to be established of animals vs. human. The real point I wanted to make is idealizing the animal world as free from all taint just because it doesn't have human foibles/values/whatever attached to its behaviours is daft.
To be honest the only people I ever hear this from IRL is bitterfags. You got bullied? Plenty of nasty pack-behaviour and picking on weaker ones in the animal kingdom. Your girl betrayed you? Happens too.
It fact evolutionary psychology would probably argue that humans are wired for those types of behaviours in a not so dissimilar way to animals, it's outworking is just more complex and difficult to untangle.]]> The planet itself is not sentient and therefore cannot invoke a sense of singular purpose, whether that purpose be to create an environment in which it's framework is geared to produce and support intelligent life or whether it be merely to support life as a whole. In this, the purpose of this planet is only what something with sentience or awareness assigns to it. Since humans are creatures of reason, we do assign a purpose to it based on our own motivations, but also based upon our observation. In the act of observing, we must acknowledge the fact that we are a single part of a whole in the grand scheme of things. In this basic founding acknowledgment, we must accept that the existence of our world does not revolve around us. Only our own existence revolves around us. The viewpoint you express is merely your own primal drive to exist and your own inborn sense of the difference between your species and other species and an awareness of what some of those key differences are quantified into words. It is not an argument or a true observation. It is merely a thought in the barest sense of the word and an assumption that survives only because no thought to the contrary has been entertained by you and no attempt to do anything beyond upholding this assumption has been attempted since you find this point of view to be very self gratifying.]]> Good ending! :D]]>And our one and only savior Jesus shall writ his reply with flames upon high "Okie dokie." The earth trembling from these severe words shall thrust forth the forever king, his majestic Nikola Tesla to scour the Earth of its sins, turning off gravity and flinging the perverse, the profane, the homosexual, the lazy, and Irishmen into the unwelcoming embrace of the cold aether. All glory to the Trinity. Oh sweet hallelujah!]]>>sapience
HEY THAT KINDA SOUNDS LIKE THE SAPIENS BIT IN HOMO SAPIENS
WONDER WHAT THAT MEANS]]>TETSUOOOOOOOO]]>It has been hypothesized that the entire global frequency emanating from the earth thing might be very slow moving thought waves. The people that claim that are all nutters in my opinion, but I would just like to point out that said theory exists. I remember some buggers over in Japan attempted to use that frequency in order to elongate communications networks, once upon a time, but they gave that up, and all studies in this field basically dried up.]]>This, fuck yeah. Like a solar system wide Dr. Strangelove]]> I say everybody gets alzheimers from water that was supposed to cure anger and meanness.
Side affect of the water (as stated before) is alzheimers that grows at an exponential rate, faster than it does now.
That's how I see the world ending.]]>Stephen King rip off.]]>prove that it can or will not happen.]]>Oh, oh oh ohohohohoh! Teacher! I know!
Stephen King wrote it and he's a hack!]]> I was using the basic assumption in this case to point toward the fact that our planet is impartial to greater clarify the point that any concept of assigned purpose can only come from ourselves in a pragmatic sense, whether we conceive of this purpose ourselves or accept the purpose from an outside source, it still comes from ourselves since we hold the awareness of it. I used this train of though to point out that some viewpoints regarding this purpose are more valid than others based upon logic and observation. The idea of earth being non-sentient was merely a metaphorical device used to exhibit the difference between the objective and subjective through contrast, it wasn't literal.]]>In their defense, Stephen King IS a terrible author.]]>...well, made me lol, well done]]>There are dozens of holes in your argument, but I'm assuming you're dumbing everything down for /x/, and I don't feel like quoting Plato today. That said, don't defend the earth is sentient nutters. They're nutters.]]> o.O That post was in response to someone. I was clarifying a statement that was made in a completely unrelated counter-argument in this post:>>1024689
This is the statement:
>The planet itself is not sentient and therefore cannot invoke a sense of singular purpose, whether that >purpose be to create an environment in which it's framework is geared to produce and support intelligent >life or whether it be merely to support life as a whole. In this, the purpose of this planet is only what >something with sentience or awareness assigns to it.
All I was saying is my reference to the earth itself being non-sentient was just a statement used to help define a greater point. The original post had absolutely nothing to do with anything regarding sentient earth. Read the post before jumping to conclusions.]]>The masks, unknown to the general public, were laced with picobots which were designed to extend the longevity of these masks. On the eve of 2071 a wave of consciousness will spread across the global bandwidth effecting the masks' picobots whom will quickly reform the wearers flesh into insect like techorganism. These impossibly smell machines will proceed to do the same with all organics and the world itself.
Grey goo end]]> Will 2070 porn depict people without masks as well as without clothes? Will the hardcore protestant state that the only acceptable form of sexual intercourse is man-on-top missionary position for procreation only and while wearing masks?]]> Like the end of The Sopranos.]]>Porn from the world of tomorrow will involve OLED body suits which display biotelemetry and continually shifting representation of the bones, muscles, organs, and circulatory system in action during coitus. It will be an age of informational sexuality.]]> Also, I am partial to this one.>>1024030
Regret end!]]> End 2 - Aliens deem Humans too dangerous to be allowed to explore the universe, and sterilize the Earth.]]>>>1024573 The solar system passes by too close to another star which fucks up the orbit of one or more of the gas giants, preferably Saturn and Jupiter. Jupiter's new orbit crosses into Earth's orbit and the two planets go on a collision course with each other. Little by little, day by day, Jupiter becomes larger and larger and inhabits more of the sky until in the final days it dominates the entire expanse of the sky. Then it swallows the Earth entirely before it assumes a new orbit very close to the sun.]]>I've bonded with my cats. Doesn't stop the from biting or scratching me when I piss them off.]]>Best post here.]]>Evidence supports this theory.]]>Jupiter eats us? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUCKING FATTIES!]]> Variant 1: we exhaust so many resources on our planet that our space program becomes stagnated, we fail to develop an alternative to chemical rockets, and we are left stuck in our own pot, limited to launching slow scout probes to crawl through space that will send back data about something useful after several millions of years, if we're lucky. Meanwhile we're busy having wars, having peace, and reproducing until we run out of space. No significant death count - it's a slow, boring end.
Variant 2: found deep underneath the Sahara desert is an enormous, ancient, advanced device of unknown purpose. Years are spent investigating it, cults are formed around it, conspiracy theories are exchanged, until one day, without any explainable reason, the device detonates with inconceivable force, causing not only the immediate death of almost all life on earth, but also pushing the planet off orbit.
