Meant to do? We're apes that have figured out how to build decent shelter and communicate over long distances. There's nothing we're "meant" to do.
Just be grateful you live in a time after the invention of indoors

- tempodox 3y agoWhat a boring attitude. Not everyone equates mere survival with living to the full.
- dillydogg 3y agoI didn't interpret what they said in this way. I have yo agree with them that it is hard to say what a species is "meant to do". We have certainly done what we have done, but who is to say that was our purpose? Beyond "successfully produce offspring at a rate to maintain the species" I think it's hard to prescribe an intended purpose.

- tempodox 3y agoThat's actually an excellent explanation, now the comment I answered to starts to make sense.
- mcv 3y agoThere's a lot we're meant to do. But we decide what we mean to do.
