If we are talking about collective ego, humanity is probably greater than a black hole. I chose three because many humans are just animals pretending to be civilized. There are many wars people are starving all of the time, democracy is only proof to how many willfully ignorant people exist. Many people are still racist, sexist, and chauvinistic. Humanity has not left the cradle of the mind that is the Earth, and doesn't plan to. That only reason why I didn't give humanity a one is because there are a few people, shining examples of the best parts of humanity, that are willing to go through their lives and never be noticed as the heroes that they are.mireko said:
It's an interesting truth. Centuries ago someone asked someone else a similar question, and 1 wasn't low enough. This lead to the invention of negative numbers, to express the disgusting habits of humanity.
...i'm lying of course, but hey. Why not make a joke? After all, OUR LEGACY IS A PERVERTED FUCKING JOKE. This is the only species that could create such ridiculous abnormalities like religion, pop music, and nuclear weapons.

I chose 8 because despite the fact that there are some major assholes out there, most of us are basically good. Hell, it's not like we see a new Hitler pop up every five seconds.
And now I wont be getting an sleep tonight.GeorgW said:
I doubt that humanity is the smartest and most complex life-form in the universe if there are other sentient lifeforms out there (mostly because I'm being optimistic and like to think things can get better then humanity). If there aren't we win by default, though.JoJoDeathunter said:
5, because we can never be perfect.
There's never going to be an absolute consensus because everyone has different opinions which diverge further as they evolve, as a result conflict will always be present.
On a fundamental level, conflict isn't caused by religion, poverty, race et al, it's caused by everyone being different. What we're trying to do is mesh all these different cogs into a society, and it's never going to fit 100%.
So is there room for improvement? No, but hey it'll never get any worse.

Yesterday i would have given us a 4, now it's a 2. We are the only animal on this planet that kills members of our own race for no reason, other animals attack their own when they start to slow the heard down or to show who the boss is or even out of mercy but us, we can just have a bad and decide to fuck everyone else over. Plus I recently found out that there is such a thing as intelligent bigotry, what the fuck could be more terrifying than that?
I'm going with seven since to me as a human myself, i can't think of anything better than humanity and its creations has ever happened to me. I take away one point because we screw ourselves over quite often.
