We're not muscular (in comparison to other animals), we have soft, easily penetrable skin, and we have feelings of empathy towards animals we eat.
interesting. We like to destroy nature. We are driven by it?*confused* We have a mind adapated to it. ?
We think that we are the smartest species on earth, and in doing so we even condemn members of our own species, labelling them as inferior by calling them dumb and stupid. How dumb and stupid all of us really are. I have learned so much from studying other species that I am constantly amazed by what I discover and learn. The main thing that I always learn is how dumb I am by discovering how much there is to learn and how much I do not know.
I personally dont think we play to our advantages enough, we undersell our unique ability of introspection and quite offen just march to the tune of our instincts instead. I suppose thats being lazy isnt it? id say thats our biggest weakness then. It pisses me off on a level i cant even describe, i mean yes we're born with a set of drives and instincts but we also have self-awareness, ergo you can be self aware enough to pick apart and in some cases do away with evolutions various measures to make sure you do X.Y, and Z. I like the idea of evolving beyond evolution/nature and progressing as a race on our own terms, and i think we're the only species capable of it as of now on earth. I just wish things would hurry along abit, it seems like people are only just starting to question nature and themselves on a truely practical level, its encouraging but there could be more of it.
We are not good at introspection. We are too successful, evolving too fast to develop a sustainable relationship to our environment. We get diseases.
I disagree. We are not weak in comparison to other animals. Maybe YOU are, but I am not nor is much of humanity. The empathy helps us to care for them to provide better food later on. These are not flaws.
we are not evolving too fast. We are acclimating too fast; huge difference. Plus, acclimation actually deals with disease control. It is the amount of people on this miserable planet that holds our problems; that is what causes diseases to mutate.
We get drunk too easily, then say and do stupid things. We invent technologies that could destroy our world many times over, then don't even use them.
We can't really hunt without tools. Luckily, we have big brains and dextrous hands that make up for that. We get back problems.
This rather depends on the object of comparison. Can we put you in a cage with, say, a starving tiger to test out your hypothesis (NB: No weapons allowed except the ones you were born with)?
