Cheer up Tux!

Well no.....but it is probably our best long term route to species survival....on earth anyway.

It can be turned into a pleasant environment with the right technologies. We certainly wouldn't have to worry about the heating or energy generally anyway.

You lads enjoy your underground houses.

I’ll be alright where I am.

Vive le Roy!

With technological advances even as they are now..... I feel that it's unlikely that long term surface survival for the average joe in high population areas is guaranteed......I don't want to be a downer or anything but if you think about it....things have been on the clock since 45.

As the only probable point of life is gene survival.....for many people, it's kind of important.

Why, as in what's the point of gene survival?

That's like a meaning of life question, which is probably the deepest question of all.

Still, I'm surprised that you didn't know Tux....it's 42.

We all probably have theories or ideas but for me I view certain things as unknowable.

Instead in terms of the meaning of life, from my perspective the meaning of life is the meaning you give it......sorry...I had to have a chuckle there with the ultimate trite new age answer.

Anyway I'm a naturalist at heart...so I look at what my apparent designed purpose is as a human being from what I can gather from the evidence around me.

That purpose is to survive long enough to reproduce, nurture that offspring to its maturity and then die.

It's not meant to be about me as an individual....there is no importance of the individual within the context of nature.....it's my job to reproduce and die.

We can observe this fact within many other species such as ants or bees......there is a form of collective will towards their nature.

This isn't me professing a form of communism within nature as such but it's something I've noticed.

You aren't really you Tux, you are a unique combination of genes from others...all of whom get to persist in another form. You are meant to be a further link in that chain and pass yourself/them on.

Or in other words...as I say.....42.

I had this girlfriend back in the day who liked to give me blowjobs while I was brushing my teeth. It was her thing.

I had the cleanest teeth in the region for the duration of the relationship.

Yeah. Why does it appear to bother you (along with many others)?
