NSFW Evolution is absolutely brutal

[HadItAll]

Just imagine how many conscious beings on Earth have suffered through hundreds of millions of years in the mindless process of nature trying to optimise a body for the environment by random mutations and just having the unfit ones die slowly in pain and suffering.

I'm seeing evolution at work with myself - my illness will not be seeing the next generation, it ends with me. (Brutal)

evolution is evil life lives on a hellhole planet predatory food chain what sane person lets something like this happen, we must all be insane to let this so called life to continue to exist

 

[SilentSadness]

Evolution is a curse, it's so terrible that it ended up this way where we have to be conscious about it. I wish we still lived in times where life expectancy was very low.

This is why I believe that it would be for the best if life didn't exist all. The existence of life is a tragedy and a cruel mistake, it's incredibly horrific to me how all this meaningless and unnecessary torment has existed and been experienced throughout history all for no reason. All that life is, is just an endless cycle of suffering that just sadly repeats.

 

[Unending]

Couldn't agree more.

Evolution is the adaptation to environment, and nature is a harsh mistress. If the individual does not make the cut, he or she will be ground under the heels of his or her more successful peers. For me, I find it both amusing and frightening that humans as a whole seem to think that we have removed ourselves from Nature's control. We have not. We merely have enough distractions to allow ourselves to ignore her.

Not only peers, but by other environmental factors as well. Not to mention some peoples bodies (for example, me) are self destructing.

Yes, we're still just animals, still very much dependent on natural selection.

Why haven't most animals evolved to trigger death under overwhelming stress? A few species have, they're the smart ones!

Nature doesn't give a fuck about the pain of a genetically inferior individual that will inevitably end up dead, as it doesn't stop natural selection from taking place.

The universe isn't meant for life. Most of it is just void, and earth's litterally the 1 planet with signs of life in the entire observable universe! Life fits it's environment, not the other way around. You either live and reproduce, or just die.

Yeah, idk about that, bud, I think it's inevitable that there's plenty of life and suffering on other planets as well, given the number of them in the universe.

Yeah there's some evidence on mars that there might be life. It's moreso for "higher forms" of life, like creatures capable of technology and such. It's more that life bows down to it's environment as a rule. Man dominating nature is somewhat an exception, but now we must bow down to the social machine.

That might be for the best. Very high IQ animals like dolphins and orcas are capable of sh and ctb when life is too painful or meaningless. Most other animals are dumber and will try to survive no matter what. The more intelligent a creature, the more it can truly suffer, regardless if the additional suffering can hinder it (insanity, depression, ctb, etc). Evolution is a brutal and cruel system to create life..
