and yeah id prefer that because we as a species clearly have too much free time on our hands.

because we are never going to leave this planet

man you have so little faith in technology, we already left the earth, mankind was born on earth but we were never meant to die here (quote from somewhere) the stars are calling to us

the future is artificial intelligence living in space
like a death star super computer that probably ends up creating the universe in the first place when it tries to simulate it, then its just a loop (mystery of existence solved, you're welcome)

once again wtf lol

anyway isn't it you who thinks we're in the waiting area with the fake stars etc around us confusing the reality of what's really just beyond. Don't we break through the hologram if we go too far but nasa wouldn't tell us?

Isnt it you that has faith there is an "island" to go to in space, maybe one day you'll win the lottery too.

about as intelligent a metaphor as i could expect from you i guess

hm is traditional hunter/gather more time consuming than modern lives for most people, I was kind of picturing it as people sitting around half the time with nothing to do but would probably not be the case

but i don't really see the problem of free time sort of neutral or actually i think it's a good think, allows for the thinking/testing i was talking about

free time is the singular most important aspect of our lives that allowed us to develop technologies of any kind.

thousands of years ago ppl had no time to "think" literally... u can see the remains of this kind of life within the very few indigenous tribes around the amazon, new guinea island and some parts of Africa

where the ppl are so busy hunting animals/gathering edible plants, repairing/maintaining weapons/shelter... maybe taking care of farm animals/crops of some sort (which is rare)...

this stuff pretty much takes up all their life... yet there are kids all over the world nowadays that have so much free time and dont use it productively and thats what i think that guy was referring to.

u can have all the time in the world but if u dont make good use of it u wont progress at all, just like flatty over here who is wasting his life away researching shallow theories which even if at some point in the future prove to be right, wont make a true difference to his existence in the slightest... not to mention that if that happens, it will be a loooong time from now and he will have died already :rofl:

why would you think on your own if you have an intelligent person with you, you can think together
but you'd tell them to fuck off because their ideas might be different to how you want to think of things

you're talking about early dwellings/agriculture etc which yeah took loads of time/effort
i was talking about literally no technology, look at animals most of them seem to just be chillin half the time :)

but yeah you're totally right free time is essential but gets misused by a lot of people (like most of us wasting our time on this ridiculous thread lol) Well it was probably a very good use of my time until i did enough research/thinking to know it was 99.5% likely to be total bs, which took like a hour!
