We humans find it hard to define goodness in others. Yet we all know it instantly when we see it.
We cannot even define what consciousness is. Self awareness is the really fundamental first test.
A simple test is to put an animal or bird in front of a mirror and see what they do.
A human child passes this test with flying colours. They KNOW it is him or herself!
The universe by random events has finally produced a flackey self destructive species called humans.
I personally think we stand on the precipice. We as a species have just worked out how to start to write the user manual to our bodies at the molecular level. We stand to gain much. Misused we lose far more.
We do not need mythical entities dreamt up by goat herders to tell us how to live.
We should grasp the chance to control our future with both hands and our combined intellects.
I will settle for nothing less!
