What do you think about humans? Do you think they are bad, good...? What are the worst humanity qualities? And the best?

Humans are my spirit animal. They're an incredibly interesting species to watch from a safe distant. If only we could relate to them.

Humans are an invasive species, damaging or destroying every ecology they inhabit.

They invented ice cream, so that is a point in their favor.

There some indications they will not be a permanent problem. :silent:

Unfortunately, ice cream will become harder to get if they disappear. :cry:

They're like any other species - they either do what works or they don't make it into the future.

I'm confused, naturalplastic...

Are you offering that as a worst quality or a best??

The best thing to come out of industrialization is clearly industrial music. The best thing about humans is probably human music. Birds are singing way too fast for my perceived time-scale

That and while the birds' lyrics might be every bit as provocative and entertaining as 2 Live Crew we can't understand them - but we clearly can understand 2 Live Crew (plus 2 Live Crew has bass - the birds, even if they're singing their version of f-shop, not so much).

I would say that humans are an amazing species which have realised amazing achievements, as individuals and in groups.

I would say it is impossible to judge an entire species as a whole and that each individual should be judged upon their own merits and demerits.

If you take this into consideration, sure, there have been loads of people who have achieved absolutely amazing achievements as well as some who have committed horrific crimes against humanity, the world and the universe (God if there is one).

I think that much of the horrific crimes against humanity are caused by people in the position where they determine the cause that humanity takes, whether these people are involved in politics or the next global trend in consumerism.

Among the Global population, there are some who now have become aware of the many failings that the human race has on the whole, and who are doing what they can to attempt to steer the human race on a more productive and humanity friendly course.

Humans are not good nor bad. Humans are a collective made of many billion with each human within the collective choosing their own path.

We, as conscious nodes of humanity must do what we can to choose our best course of actions as humans, so that humanity finds the most humane path.

It's one of the weirdest things to imagine that crickets sound sexy to other crickets.
