So, you think mankind is special? A slideshow to humble the proud.

How are we flawed? If there is not standard for perfection how exactly can we be imperfect?

This doesnt make any sense. Nature has no agenda, there are no flaws.

We're flawed in many ways. Basically, we're just animals who learned how to think, but refuse to do so most of the time
Perhaps in few centuries, we will transform ourselves to an appropriate form.

Wait your saying we dont think?
How do you support that. Humans are one of the few animals that dont rely on instincts alone.

Of course there are. Relicts, imperfections, glitches, flaws. Our bodies are weak and fragile, our mind is often even more fragile.
Nature of course doesn't have agenda, but we do and from our perspective, we're not well made. Changes in the design are necessary and now we have the means to make them

And this is supposed to be an achievement? We have brains that have enormous potential, but we still act like programmed apes, we're driven by our instincts. If we want to explore universe, we must become more rational.

I had already seen this powerpoint in science last year.
It's pretty cool.

Meet a nice woman, and the infinity of 12 billion light-years of space will vanish from your mind instantly.Sahkuhnder said:The human race suddenly doesn't seem so impressive or special anymore.
And at that point, the human race (more specifically, the female member of same who you just bumped into!) will appear special, and will definitely be impressive.

You, my friend, speak the truth.
Happily married after all these years, with two wonderful kids. Love is what makes it all worthwhile.

Luckily, we're now at a stage where science can alter biology. If we're very lucky, we can continue to learn in these areas.

Biology is the least of our problems. Humanity needs to learn how to alter how it thinks.
No, the way we think is fine. Well, it was anyways, till we up and invented farming, and it was downhill from there.

Most individuals dont know how to think. They confuse feelings, emotions, hormonal turbulence with thought. Collectively, the human race 'thinks' much the same way.Eran of Arcadia said:

But emotions and feelings were doing fine for us the first 100,000 years of human history; it is only when there got to be so many of us . . .
