[quote:numewenon:MV8yMTk5NDEzXzM3MjUwMTQ1XzVGQkIyNEE5] [quote:Anonymous Coward 37330836:MV8yMTk5NDEzXzM3MjI5NjgzX0QwMEE0QjhG] We could design meat eating robots that will hunt you down and kill you and thereby test your mental and physical abilities. We could program so they are just the right intelligence, not too smart, not too fast. "From the file marked “Evidently, many scientists have never seen even one scary sci-fi movie”: The Defense Department is funding research into battlefield robots that power themselves by eating human corpses. What could possibly go wrong? Since they apparently don’t own TVs or DVD players, researchers at Robotic Technology say the robots will collect organic matter, which “could” include human corpses, to use for fuel. But if you picked up anything on flesh-eating robots over the years you know they’ll ignore that tasty soybean field and make a chow line right to the nearest dead body. And, if the machines can’t find enough dead people to eat, they can always make new ones." http://www.wired.com/underwire/2009/07/military-researchers-develop-corpse-eating-robots I guess you could argue that's what animals are, meat eating robots but they do not merely eat to be eating, they eat to live, not live to eat. Only humans live to eat. [/quote] YIKES. I also wonder that. Have any of these scientists (and even politicians etc) pushing this sort of thing ever watched scifi? lol CRAZINESS [/quote]

Are we to keep fighting nature in order to expand our existence and complexity? It seems in this technological world, we lose touch with so much beauty and splendor, yet we have many conveniences and leisure at the same time.
or
Are we meant to fight nature to realize we should be working with nature and living naturally like animals? We have access to the wonderful blanced diversity provided to us, but we are slaves to natures ups and downs.
Is it even valid to ak these questions? because technology is just nature gone awry? If this is the case then:
Is there a place outside the rules of nature in which we can exist peacefully... ever? What is this? What am I? Am I even Alive. My head hurts. Who's head? My head? What head? FUCJKCUCJCEJKEJDCSDECJsdeaGjaSWGJAsw[ojgAWS[GASWEGHE
Do you people understand what I am rambling about? It bothers me.
