Cyanobacteria exist for 2.5 billion years! And they can photosynthesize! And they made our current atmosphere! That is what I call success! Can't wait to see how humans will be doing in 2.5 billion years! Oh yeah,...

@AdamBlade17 Some bacteria can withstand radiation. How can you know they don't spread from planet to planet in pores of rocks of meteorites?

@Abe Gill Maybe you can talk to people in polite manner? No? Ok, then I won't too. Also, no, our species cannot possibly survive for billions of years. It simply won't be the same species even if it survives. That is a nature of complex life forms that they change so fast in evolutionary terms. Our fish ancestor also did not die out without progeny, yet we are not swimming in the ocean. Also, if you think we are doing "great", you need a reality check. Solar panels do not photosynthesize. Learn what photosynthesis is before talking.

@Abe Gill Hahahahaha terraforming planets is way off. It is not as easy as PR-focused capitalists like Elon Musk like it to imagine.

There is a biological definition of success - how good organisms are at reproducing and surviving and spreading. And anything else, any trait including intelligence, is not a metric of success in itself, but just a trait which can help or hinder organisms at being successful. And yet, humans are rather successful by biological definition right now. BUT - a huge BUT - there are plenty of species which will always be more successful. Almost any microorganism by this definition will always be more successful than almost any macroorganism.

@godbearxd The measure of success is not making every single one of your offspring survive. But to have your genes spread as much as possible, and it is impossible to outrun many bacterial species in that. They even spread their genes through horizontal gene transfer

21:29 - food chains in ecosystems are not dominance hierarchies within social groups. Those are two absolutely different things!

@terradraca Any bird. Or any photosynthesizing organism. Not having consciousness would be only good since I would not have to endure depression anymore

Cyanobacteria and plants can photosynthesize and create new organic matter from fking light! And in my opinion anyone incapable of that is pathetic parasite eating other organisms' dead flesh.
