[quote]Technically, we were never supposed to[/quote] Why not? There's no basis to say this. If your argument is that other animals haven't coordinated in such a manner, then that would be a false equivalence. We really only have one example of animals with the level of cognition and socially oriented psychology that humans have, and it's humans. And in that one example, these abstractions of natural resources have occurred. The only argument one could logically make is that humans should be bound to create what we have, because there exists no counter-example. In all reality, nothing is actually completely synthetic. Everything we've done, technologically and socially, has started from a natural basis. Sure, you could argue that artificially created elements larger than Plutonium are "unnatural," but we still used natural elements to create them. Everything that has been made on Earth has come from Earth in one way or another. Do we argue that human society and technology is gestalt in nature? Has it's composition evolved to the point, where the abstractions are to be though as separate from the natural world? I don't see any magic wands. I don't see anything that's physically impossible. I would argue that the assertion that humans have made anything unnatural is more of a delusion of grandeur than it is an objective observation of reality.

was thinking about the whole music thing last week. what advantage does it have from an evolutionary standpoint? why do all of our brains possess the ability to recognize melody, rhythm, and harmony? it truly intrigues me that our brains possess the ability to recognize something that doesn't naturally occur in nature.

We are smart enough to harness the earths natural resources and create what we want using those resources. I mean.. Are you saying what if we were stupider and couldn't figure out how to create things? We would just be a bunch of noisy endlessly fighting apes. There. I literally answered your question.

[quote]I mean.. Technically, we were never supposed to hear human made music or see things created by humans such as panties, nipple pasties, bikinis, strap-ons, etc.. Earth doesn't provide these kind of materialistic objects naturally. What would life even be like if we never invented anything and just tried to fight for survival like all the other species of animals out there do?[/quote] I followed you on twitter.

I noticed all of your things have a...certain theme...

I think its pretty weird we have to pay to see other humans.

If you think that's weird, just realize that we even created certain species of animals, sometimes without even intending to. Several animals (dogs and cats namely) specifically evolved to be liked by us so they can live off us

[quote]see things created by humans such as panties, nipple pasties, bikinis, strap-ons, etc..[/quote]Is this the best you can think of?

I don't see why you say "never supposed". Is there a rule somewhere that says whan humanity can and cannot do?

Well unless we retained the ability to create small simple things such as camp fires, homes and fur clothing I doubt we'd be as spread out as we are. Humans are a pretty tenacious species but fact is we aren't made to handle the cold so without warmth either through fire,housing, or clothing colder climates would be much more avoided we'd probably have much higher populations in places like Greece, Spain, Mexico, Egypt Africa and so on with maybe a few dotted around areas were the weather either stays mild or warm. Given how fast we reproduce naturally without modern commodities I think the highest our species would number is weeping the 2-3 billion mark with the average lifespan ranging from 25-35 depending on location and natural predators. Part of why it isn't 'strange' to see sights of human construction and clothing is due to the fact we are raised around it. If you were raised in some commune were everyone lived in the same cave never had clothing and hunted their food a trip to a modern day city or even town would be a very alien experience.

Hi how are you, how high are you?

We'd be pretty dead.
