Are humans really the "most advanced" lifeform? Given

It's not a contest, you're just taking some arbitrary stupid measure for success.

>most advanced
This implies that there's a goal to advance towards, that's a human construct. Nature only cares about your fitness in the local environment.

>aren't insects and bacteria more successful than humans?
Yes, and then bacteria are more successful again.

>Did "life" have it right at the start....
Oh I think I see what you're trying to say. But there is no direction to evolution, it's just something that happens. The ones that are more suited to the local environment become more successful.

checkmate atheist.
You see the truth is that humans were created by god and were given souls. Other living things were not.
That's just how things are.

I know it has no direction and it just the result of a series of chemical reactions, I just think it's odd that after all of this building to something as complicated as a human body, the organism that is ultimately "fit" will be basically the same as where it all started.

I guess. But what you have to remember the fitness landscape, if we take the long view of things, changes.

Weak bait. This might work on

Man is the measure of all things; so it depends entirely on how you choose to measure this metric of success. Although clearly by any metric it is far more beneficial to be born a self-aware human than a worm or a culure of bacteria and therefore you are the successful one by any legitimately worthwhile human standard. If you think otherwise you have lost your sense of perspective and therefore metric for measurement, thereby making you no longer human, which means you have lost the game.

Is Ms. Skeletal the epitome of lifeforms? Will evolution produce a specimen more perfect? Are we blessed to live in the time in the history of life on this planet that Ms. Skeletal thrives alongside us?

>are humans really the "most advanced" lifeform
Nope. We are the most intelligent life form, but thats two different things.

She's so cute bros. I hear she doesn't have any friends, expect her fans on youtube (which can never be real friends). I can relate because I have a youtube and not many friends. I wish I could hang out with her and have fun.

She's is too fucking skinny, though. And in her newer videos she's just weird and depressed.

No, goats are the most advanced life form.

How far away are science and engineering from constructing a human equivalent to the goat tower.
