If a scream of horror was enough to stop war, there would be no more war.

Given what we know about mankind, is it even wise to have children?

No matter how many books you read, no matter how much you live, there are some things in this world that you will never, ever understand. And perhaps you wouldn't want to.

This island is a prison. And my mind is one.

	It wasn't actually humanity. It was the Asgard, and they were a race of super-intelligent beings who stopped having babies, and ended up almost wiping out a whole galaxy of people to try and survive as the clones they'd become. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hmm. Not as intelligent as they might imagine, then. I suppose then the need to survive outweighs rational thinking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh believe me, they were intelligent, it's their technology that saved us plenty of times. Just not so much smart when it came to keeping themselves going. And yeah, the need to survive is part of the primal brain, rational thinking, notsomuch in my experience. Probably just as well, because if we'd depended on rational thinking to keep us alive, we'd have been dead more times over than I want to think about.
