Topic: Priorities Of The Human Species (Read 1610 times)

Check out the moons of Jupiter, at least one of them is covered in oceans of methane.

You are talking about ignore, right? I'm bored and I see no reason not to eliminate the person's thoughts with the superiority of mine own.

The nomination button is to the left of the post, under the picture.

Based on this post and all the other links that you spam without any comment, I hereby call for your elimination. Your ideas are silly and repugnant. How many years of human progress was destroyed with the library of alexandria? Survival of the fittest has it's place, but it must be tempered with wisdom and thought over the long term.

I award you no points!

There is a brain scan pattern that shows this type of thinking. As a collective, all we have to do is scan the folks that think this way and re-educate so them they don't think like this anymore. 

The priority of the human species is survival of the fittest. Competition. Conquest. The trick is convincing the fittest to do your bidding with lavish gifts, praise, power, presumed authority, training and weaponry heaped upon them, while convincing them it is their patriotic duty to do as they are told. Conditioning. Manupulation. Propaganda... and if they are truly good people, convince them that what they are doing is for the greater good.

Where do you think it came from?

Waste of time.  There isn't any carbon in space.

Didn't Abraham Maslow cover this pretty well already in 1954?

Way more resources than what we have, we need to go to space. To the stars if possible.

The minority would still get fucked, different minority each time, business as usual.

What if a majority of people on Earth could agree on what we want? Many conflicts could be avoided and shared goals worked toward, things we didn't know we agree on, or deep disagreements causing many on the surface, because we never took the time. If you think this is an important thing to figure out, here's a Wikipedia page for it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priorities_Of_The_Human_Species

Priorities Of The Human Species is a list, ordered most important first, of what the most number of people agree on. This is not necessarily what people prefer the priorities to be, but instead what actually gets the most priority (and least priority at the bottom of the list) in real events.

Difficulty of defining it

Its a very difficult subject to define, but priorities do exist because different amounts of effort and resources are put into different things overall on Earth. Because of this difficulty, it will take some time before the edits of many Wikipedia users converge to the accurate priorities of the Human species.

The evidence for specific orderings will often be found in the connections between Wikipedia pages and their sources instead of local to any one page because the nature of a priority list is comparing things.

A few example priorities to get the page started

* Basic needs - If a person does not have food, shelter, clothes, or other basic needs, they will usually solve those problems first.

* Entertainment - There is more money and time spent on entertainment than most other things except for basic needs.

* Freedom of religion - Most people have some form of religion, and when they don't have the freedom to practice it, they are strongly motivated to solve that problem.

* Freedom of speech - Overall people who have a religion (which is most people) are a little less motivated by freedom of speech than of religion. This may be related to beliefs that religion is more long-term than a Human life.

* Democracy - Democracy is lower in this list because most people are motivated more by specific issues than spreading out power fairly.

* Stronger economy - Money strongly motivates most people.

* Less war - Everything above war in this list could be the cause of a war if there is enough disagreement on it, because avoiding war is less important than solving those conflicts.
