I hate being human

Post Reply New Topic

I know this seems silly but don,t you ever fantasize of being a machine or some superior being? Being human requires too much wok. Sleeping excersiize eating whats it all worth when you die in the end anyway!?

Humans are miraculous. I am glad to be one.

You sound just like my best friend who has AS but isn't a member of this site. He tells me all the time about how he wants to be a cyborg and wants to be frozen so he can wake up in the future in a time when people have ways of becoming immortal. You'd like him probably.

As for me, I sometimes desire to be an animal of some sort. Being an animal is easy to figure out. Not many hard decisions. Sometimes I also fantasize about being some sort of superhero - because I want to fight evil.

I like being human, because humans have souls and I believe that, as a Christian, my soul will have eternal life after my body's death.

I'd like to be something else for a day. Not a machine though. An animal maybe.

I used to fantasize about being Sid, from 'Flushed Away'. :O)

But you've never been anything else, how can you know if other existences are better/more enjoyable just by extrapolation? The best I think you could do is to compare relative endorphin levels and other "Happy neurochemical" levels in response to certain stimuli among different animals you'd want to be. The cyborg thing I have no idea about, you'd probably have to try that one to know.

I would miss cooked food, music and cycling in the hills if I wasn't human.

I think he wants some sort of purpose to life, which means that becoming an animal is counter-productive.

I suppose you could say the fact you are programmed means you have purpose. But why not just chose a purpose, like the robot's programmer chose for the robot?

If we're going the superior being route, then I wonder why he assumes they would necessarily have a set role. Maybe they just sort of made the rules up for the rest of us for fun.

And what's so great about a purpose anyway? It limits your freedom.

Maybe too much freedom is his problem! Lock him up


(Not sure what direction this topic is going in, so I'm just saying whatever comes to mind)

I agree.

One could argue (from an evolutionary point of view) that an animal's purpose is to reproduce. I think of humans as animals, but personally, at least, I have no desire to reproduce. I have set an arbitrary purpose to my life to understand reality. In order to do this, I need to learn and grow. I am agnostic about any life after death, but if there is one, learning and growing in this one is a worthwhile goal. If there is no afterlife, it is still a worthwhile goal in my opinion. It certainly helps my mood, if nothing else.

I have fantasized about being a cat. I'd be aware of so many things I never knew existed! Imagine, being able to tell someone just by their scent, being able to jump all the way from the floor to the top of the table and back down, just...wow. I could also annoy my mom with my 'meowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeow'.

i hate how human acts

Me too, but to be really happy I'd need to know I'd still be my girlfriend's pet

I want to be Spock, right now.
