And... What do you think of humanity?
Do you hate them? And does that include yourself?

I don't consider myself human, based from my observations "we" are nothing alike

I hate nothing. But I can't stand humans because they have to personalize everything.


EDIT: @EyeSeeCold What do i mean with personalize everything?
I will be giving situations, and the predictable human response.

Situation 1: A vehicle is driving fast
Human Response: Oh I hope he dies!

Situation 2: A person has trouble parking his/her car.
Human response: What an idiot! Can't even park a car.

Situation 3: Alien shows respect by criticizing the work of person B
Person B Response: Fuck off, you think you are better then me?!

Situation 4: Alien shows his respect by clarifying his opinions throughout logic.
Human response: No that's not true, Fuck you!

Basically what I'm trying to convey with this is, That everything they sense, they take personal. They are to selfish, to be able to think from another point of view.


Also, they base their actions purely for what is best for themselves. Whilst I base my actions on what would be best for me considered with what would be best for the universe. (Whereas myself, is only in the equation because building myself gives me the ability to effect the universe even better. -> This also explains my greed for knowledge, and why I look down on those who don't.)

Also, I have the ability to think that of what I don't believe. (So I could think of an opinion as if it was my own, giving me full capacity of the ability to reasoning.)

Also, I see words as words (If you know what I mean..)


EDIT: Oh and btw...
I tend to think of what really happened, by what is most logical that would have happened. What i mean with this is, that when I think back of the past (This could be 5 sec, or 10 years. Time doesn't matter) I can only think of what really happened, to that what would be most logical of what would really have happened.
Is this just me or is it how we are build up? (So is it me or is it universal?)

Depends on how the word "human" is being used here.

If it is meant in reference to the homo sapiens sapiens species that is a primate and a mammal, just another member of he animal kingdom, then yes.

If it is mean in reference to the rarefied being that has graced the Earth with its existence, hand crafted in god's own image and endowed with "reason" that distinguishes it from all other living things, then no.

I feel more mechanical than biological or alien, not just because of feeling routine, inanimate, or emotionless at times, but also because of being drawn to electronics and technology. I'd say I was a zombot.

Humanity is fine as long as it lets me live. Though what did you mean by "personalize everything"?

Do I feel human? hmmm

No I don't.

I feel like I'm a conscious glob of energy trapped in a body and society which directly limit and hinder my conscious experience from being all that it could be.

Call me depersonalized, but I enjoy snowboarding, downhill mountain biking, road biking, hiking and exploring, all these things excite my brain and I try not to let my bodily limitations affect my experience of what Im doing.\

I hate people that complain about being tired, in a bad mood etc.

Hmmm...It seems like I'm being encouraged to hate humanity.

But I don't hate humanity, least of all myself. I definitely feel all-too human though...vulnerable to disease, vulnerable to being run over or blown up by a large machine of my own invention, vulnerable to my own imperfect reasoning...

...mortal.

Yes, I feel very human. I like humanity for the most part but the ones who plunge ahead into chaos because they have no moral compass sadden me.

Hmm...

Yes and no on my part as well.
Do I live up to societies image of a person? Not entirely.
Do I believe I have reason and intellect above our other primate relatives?
....Will get back to you on that one.

When feelings and shit get to much I tend to dissociate entirely...
Brings to mind that NIN song from Downward Spiral... The becomming.

"All pain disappears it's the nature of my circuitry
Drowns out all i hear there's no escape from this my new consciousness
That me that you know used to have feelings
But the blood has stopped pumping and he's left to decay
The me that you know is now made up of wires
And even when i'm right with you i'm so far away "

I know its meant to be about drugs... But I do feel somwehat robotized sometimes.
An automotron.

If you are what you think... And what you think comes from habits.
Then how can we say we have free will if our conditioning/programming dictates our reactions?

....Bored:confused:

I constantly tell people I'm not human. I wonder sometimes why they even confuse me as one of them. I clearly do not have the same goals or interests as they do and I don't react the things the way they do. But instead they call me things like "jerk". lol

Silly humans

Oh yeah, do I hate Humans....?
see Screen name and do the math.... er, the English...

Myself? I hate the fact that when I think I've figured things out to my understanding, it means nothing moments later...

I can't deny the fact that I'm a human, But I don't really feel like one.

Do I hate humanity?

Absolutely. I hate humans (including myself) and everything they think they know.

Disliking humanity I can understand (to a certain extent), but disliking knowledge? What is there to dislike about knowledge?

I don't feel like a human, no. Neither like a gender.

I don't hate humanity, I don't really hate anything or anyone. Generally I'm indifferent to most things and persons. Though, I guess I could say I'm more on the sympathetic scale of things, than hateful. I'm more interested in understanding why people act the way they do.

Do I hate myself? Well, no. I might dislike myself, but I wont go into that as I think it's a bit rude to those who do enjoy my presence. Most of which are here on the forum D :

I don't hate knowledge, I do want to know more but I can't be certain that what huminity knows is the ultimate truth.

Besides I was refering to religious humans who ''Think they know'' what needs to be known without considering other possibilities.

I'm sorry, I should have been a bit more specific.

I don't automatically dislike religious people, but one thing I do think is almost unforgivable is willful ignorance. Whether it's of how the universe works to knowledge of a cancer in your body, refusing the truth because it either makes you uncomfortable or doesn't fit with your world view. No matter how terrible the truth, it feels like it would be worse not knowing.
