In my state, it is now legal for guns to be brought to churches, school, and bars. Yes, bars, so long as you have a permit. Do you think this is wise? What's stopping teachers from holding a gun to a student's head, other than the fact that they'll be jailed.. But I think these new laws are opening up so much more controversies than nescessary, and I think more crimes could easily be commited this way.
By upswing, I mean "are we doing okay in intellectual things" and by downswing,"we are destroying the good that the unierse is.
To be more clear, should we have faith in humanity to do well at intelligent things, make rational desicions, make the world and unierse a better place for future species?
So your job is to convince me that humans are trustable. (I am talking about this generation on only, and excluding actual smart scientists like Carl Sagan, Jacque Fresco, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Lawrence Krauss, Richard Dawkins, Stephen Hawking, people like that. They've done all they can, so if we fail now, we are the only ones we have to blame. To be honest, I just felt like listing their names. Alright, GO!)
We've all heard of the 'lucky charms', like a rabbit's foot or a keychain, but what makes people believe that the item is lucky? And, is it actually lucky?
Can we ever create a perfect world, or a completely destroyed one? If you think one is possible, how much time do you think it will take to reach that point?
Will enough time go by that the human race becomes extinct? Will future people, robots, maybe even another generation of humans that are in the uncanny valley (look it up) ever even find traces of our existence?
What does "have a soul" mean? What is a soul? What is love? These questions shall be debated. Thank you for taking the time to participate and I hope you are not offended. If you are, oh well. Get over it.
