    I’m a being. Beings need to start fucking each other so we can accelerate this shit.

    So what's the difference between a human and a being? And where do human beings fit into this?

    Beings see good ideas and latch onto them. Beings recognize objective superiority.

    Humans go with the crowd, and think good ideas are ideas that the masses like. Humans have less brain power, and go with their first instinct. Humans talk about swag.

    it goes something like (Animal - Human - Being - Enlightened)

    only on this earth. although the people on other worlds undoubtedly call themselves their worlds equivalent of human.

    even on this earth we're mostly just assuming that, and then mostly it is our collective ego as a species making that assumption.

    Perhaps this 'being' thing is not hereditary.

    there is no "objective superiority". only the usefulness of diversity.

    All people appear human,however some can be said to be unequivically inhuman. It manifests constantly.

    Yeah there is. You would always want to be able to run 10 miles instead of 5 given a choice. You will always want to be able to hold your breath 4 minutes instead of 2. You'll always want more brain power and capability if given the option.

    A "being" is an athlete as well?

    Their is no being without their first being human, they are one in the same far as we're concerned. You are nothing being a "being" without first having a human mind, no matter how base or how much you try to separate the two. What'a go for biology!

    If other animals are people too, then it would make sense to say that some people are human.

    I agree.

    The churches are not doing a good job of keeping the humans inside them so we can actually find a space of our own, recognize, and meet each other unhindered by sheeple.

    But, this is not the place to discuss that either. ;)

    only on this earth do people the people on this earth call people appear to be of the form they call human. in simpler times they may have recognized anything aware of its own existence was in some sense a person.

    if person and human are used interchangeably the people on other worlds who look nothing like the people called human on earth, are precisely both as human, and as much people, as human people on earth are.

    in which case, just as a btw, most people are NOT earth human, as it is a very big universe, and earth is only one very small world in it, after all.
