We might of become a threat to our existance on it. Don't worry tho, the planet will be fine if we survive or not.

I had to read that at school when I was 13 - scary book. Golena's right though, the planet will be fine without us. Humans, after all, are the only species on this rock that do not live in natural equilibrium with their surroundings.

Then again, until elephants can invent and play DAoC and other games, we have the better deal.

Yeah.... There's no such thing as a natural equilibrium in nature. It's how we would like to see things, but even without our help, before our time there were quite a few extinctions without external influences. If there would be an equilibrium, species wouldn't have been extinct besides non-natural causes like meteor impacts or volcano eruptions.

Are meteors and volcanoes supernatural then?

i always ponder this i mean there were dinosaurs then they died out then there were the giant mammels at the ice age and then they died out, neanderthals = died ut, i mean why do we think we're so special.

tbh we kind of deserve to be wiped out i mean, dinosaurs etc didn't actually (afaik) actively work on buggering up the planet, what i wonder (frequently) is what will come after we've gone, i'm playing with the majority here and betting on insects...sadly there will be no one about to document it unless i can find an anomaly to go through and live as an interdimentional nerd (my childhood dream).

By mean equilibrium I did mean living and then dying but just not buggering up resources - i.e. sustainable development etc. Of course humans will be extinct at one point, hard to admit it but of course it will happen.

Hehe - we could make you a special outfit - Supernerd
