The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

It is interesting to ask the question of how dominating humans are as a species if measured by our mass, compared the mass of all other mammals.

Can you imagine living in a world where humans could not reason?

Our ability to do so, is a gift and a curse that just keeps on giving. Even though we have coexisted alongside other species for thousands of years, some might argue that humans are nothing less than an invasive species.

With our ability to reason comes languages, tools, technological advancements, science, medicine, population growth, wide spread species and resource manipulation...

Without it and you have primitive societies, emotion-driven actions, no complex governments or institutions. Starvation, sickness and death always at your doorstep. Population growth would not exist beyond what the bio ecosystem could support.

I wonder what AI technologies will conjure up and bring to the table after you and I are pushing up daisies in a 100 years from now? Correct me if I'm wrong, but they can't reason, right??? Or will they???
