If We Were All Born With An Auto-Destruct Button...

... would we already be instinct?

Because as far as it seems, we always create stuff to destroy each other. Like knifes, guns, uzis, rockets, nuclear weapons...

So... would we already be dead?

People on ludes should not type.

No, I doubt we would already be extinct. If there was an auto-destruct button on every living human, then it would make us more vulnerable. However, we would learn how to avoid our button being pressed. I mean, every human is pretty easy to kill already, I'm not sure how much an auto-destruct button will help.

 

I was implying that people would press their own button....

Wouldn't it be handy if you wanted to top yourself? Just think... no need for od's, slashing of wrists or jumping off tall bridges. And when you're dying of a painful disease... ah, the simpicity of it all.

 

BTW Truthseeker, I don't know what ludes are but I would imagine that it's some kind of drug, that either makes you see things really small so that you have to write in gigantic letters in order to see what you're writing, or, that it's some kind of drug that drastically reduces your spelling prowess, eg: extinct, come on, poll.

 

Where would the button be? Think about it. It would have to have one hell of a safety switch.

 

It would be triggered by a special sequence of thoughts.

 

How would one go about learning the "special sequence of thoughts" without killing one's self?

 

haha.
"okay class. today we learn about every human's self-destruct ability.
to do so you must: picture a llama, think of the word phobia, then picture a teddy bear!"
*class explodes*

 

We would kill ourself sooner then you think.

 

I think we would be close to extinct, considering the raging hormones most teenagers face. I mean, they'd have to get pubesecent people and put them in straightjackets to prevent themselves from pressing their own buttons.

Don't you think?

 

We have a self destruct button... it's called suicide.

Every kid who has access to a gun doesn't kill themself. Unless you label it 'do not push', I doubt many would use it who don't already kill themselves.

 

That doesn't make my post any less relevant.

People don't need an auto-destruct button to kill themselves easily.

Ugh. I guess I'm dating myself but lude is short for Quaalude which is a barbiturate. The phrase I twisted from “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”. But yes, you got the gist of it.

Sorry TS, just poking a bit of fun at you. The question was weird enough but the super-sized spelling mistakes in response to the forum program not doing what you wanted it to made me laugh.

I think it would be even funnier if we all had ‘reset’ switches. Some sucker gets all angry and mean, “Just reset him.”

Yeah, like a default button, but then you'd probably forget everything you ever learnt.

 

I'm not going to talk about that...
