Poll: Are you Human?

[FalloutJack]

To feel human is to feel content with my surroundings AS a human and not feel as though I am out of place somehow among human people. This is not the case.

To feel less than human is to feel as though I were not as good as human beings, somehow lacking in their presence. That is not the case either.

To feel more than human is to view myself as better than them, because they do alot of stupid shit at times and I don't make the mistakes that they make. (In other words, I learn from my experience AND others, quite adeptly.) You really can't deny that other people have their DUH moments. I tend to have less of them because I take care not to copy them.

No, I don't. For that matter, nobody else is. Humanity is a concept, and like godliness, it cannot be achieved by creatures like us. True humanity is a state of being I can only guess at; and unless you're an RL Mary Sue, the same goes for you.

 

[TheRundownRabbit]

Can any of us really call ourselves human?

 

[superbatranger]

Humans are terribly flawed. I, too, am terribly flawed. Following that logic, I must be human.

 

[d4rkxy13x]

No, I'm ginger. Lol jk, I'm human but have no soul. Lol jk, I have one.

 

[Marik Bentusi]

I am a human in my personal reality. Every person has their personal reality and we cannot reach the absolute truth through our senses, because at the end of the day we do not see with our eyes, but with our brain.

Is that the answer you were looking for?

 

[ThreeWords]

Are you human?

Yes. Even as I was born a homo sapiens, I was born human, and I remain one to this day. In reply, I ask you this; how could I not be human?

Humans are terribly flawed. I, too, am terribly flawed. Following that logic, I must be human.

Hitler has a mustache. Mario, too, has a mustache. Following that logic, Mario must be Hitler.

OK, OK, so my "logic" wasn't all that great. Sheesh, what's the big deal anyways?

 

[Weaver]

If you aren't asking us if we're physically human what ARE you asking us?

I know, I know. Kidding. I just wanted to find something funnier that uses the same "logic".

 

[Delock]

Yes.
Why am I worthy? Because of all that I have done. "How much have you really done?" you might ask. "And how have I not heard of you if your actions justify your existance?"

Quite simply it is because I am the proverbial butterfly who's wings flapping cause hurricanes, as is everyone else. Every single second you exist, you cause a chain reaction of events that invisibly change the world. That purchase you made recently denied another person of that object, which perhaps made them keep that money only to make a life changing decision with it, or perhaps it got them in a bad mood, which affected how they interacted for the rest of the day. Maybe they didn't stay mad, assuming the second, because someone else took time out of their day to console them, changing the events of their day, or perhaps they stayed mad and treated others more harshly, which in turn could have angered someone else. Hell, your very life changes the environment, which it is suggested to raise CO2 levels. This in turn advances the cycle that starts anew with an Ice Age, where glaciers carve into the land, and the sea falls dramatically, only for that Age to end and for new streams and lakes to have been made, and rocks transported from one continent to another. All this changes what life is like in the future, well beyond what you'll see.

Perhaps, my actions have inadvertantly given rise to new thoughts, ideas that will forever shape history in another way, or maybe they've helped it stay on course, cancelling out another person's actions who would change the world, no one knowing if it was for better or worse.

And then of course you have my ideas, a collection of data and interpretations that define me. They are a sum of countless actions and thoughts all put together with my own view on them. I contribute to the sum while remaining different. This is what makes me Human.

 

[7moreDead_v1legacy]

I am human/terran/whatever you want to call us a species.

Also I read the title as Are you Hyman...I think it's time to lay off the jelly beans!

Hitler has a mustache. Mario, too, has a mustache. Following that logic, Mario must be Hitler.

I do believe that is borderline "Insane Troll Logic" rather than logic failure. It's a form of logic... that happens to exist seperate from conventional logic or this particular dimension all together, though I doubt it exists in a "dimension" exactly.

As for me, yes, as explained by my invisible post (damn you forums and your ability to render my thoughts null and void).

Ok, now the forums are just fucking with me. I have a strange suspicion that I should be on the lookout for them to ask to be fed a stray cat.

Well, if you were to play Super Mario Bros. from the perspective of Bowser, Mario is evil.

 

[Zhukov]

No.

I'm a squirrel that can type.

This is a silly thread.

 

[emeraldrafael]

It seems to me more what you're asking is "Are you willing to live/unbroken?". Which is to say are you running on autopilot through life of not.

Either way, yes, I am human. I have weaknesses, I have strengths, I am happy, but i am also sad. I feel, I love, I hate. I dont know what makes me special in a world of 6 billion+ others that are also human. But I know I am not broken, that i still have the zest for life, the will to fight for the tomorrow today, the grim determination I will watch that sun rise again and set again. I firmly believe I have earned that right, by living to the best of my abilities.
