  1. No species is destined to live forever. 99 % of all species that ever walked the earth are now extinct. If the machines and AI we build end up exterminating us and taking over, then that's just natural evolution. Nothing to cry or moan about.

  2. Brody U.S: Right and seeking profit is a human trait stemming from a biological impulse. Trying to claim that humans are capable of being "inhuman" is an oxymoron. EVERYTHING humans do is human behaviour. It's impossible for humans to act "outside" of human behaviour. It is not your right to determine what Boston Dynamics "should" spend their money on, because Boston Dynamics is a private company. If you think "understanding lifeforms" is so important, then you can start up your own business devoted to that goal. But it's not your call to make what other companies owned by other people should spend their money on at all. Machines that mimic lifeforms will be extremely beneficial to the species, because machines are much more reliable and durable than the fragile human body. Machines energy requirements are also more simplified (requiring only fuel or electricity to function, compared to the complex and delicate mixture of amino acids, minerals, vitamins etc. that human bodies need to function) Machines also do not require sleep or rest like weak human bodies do. Also there is nothing "exaggerated" about the amazingess of these machines. But being an ignorant moron like you are who haven't studied the physics and engineering involved simply to get a machine to walk upright on two mechanical limbs without falling over constantly, of course you wouldn't know what a great feat of engineering is involved in building these things.

  3. Brody U.S: climate change is inevitable. With or without human involvement. The climate has changed several times throughout earth's history. It's never been "for the worse", and it isn't "for the worse" now either. We're also not the first species on the planet that were capable of influencing climate change (the dinosaurs did before us, and several species of plankton and algae did as well) Like in the past, current species will have to adapt or die. That's the way evolution works. Thankfully we're quite good at building machines that helps us adapt to new enviroments. If we can use machines and technology to put people in outer space, in the deepest of seas and in the coldest, highest altitudes imaginable on earth, then we can damn sure adapt to the enviromental standards brought about by some minor climate change. Your enviromentalist doomsday prophecies are neither new, nor factually correct.

  4. Brody U.S.: Dude... You do realize that about 99 % of all the animal and plant species throughout the history of the earth is extinct today, right? Mass extinction is not an exception but a norm.

  5. Brody U.S.: All principles I have cited are from actual Darwinian principles. Which is why I don't engage in favouritism even of my own species. Species come and go. Some because they can't adapt to climate change, and some because they can't adapt to competing with the lifestyle habits of other, more successful species. That's the way nature works. Your ideology is entirely unnatural because you're actively looking to preserve the climate and the species in their current form. This ideology is an outright perversion against nature. Nature has always been and will always be in a constant state of change. Maintaining a "status quo" is not natural at all.

  6. Brody U.S.: Yes they are you liberal hippie.
