The You Game!

[Ray502]

We must take action quickly. < has no ideas right now.

[Master]

Look busy, he's the boss.

< is reminded of our old 2013 posting sprees.

[Ray502]

< has joined in on these posting sprees.

[Reese Riverson]

< loved the classic posting sprees that < and Master did!

[Master]

< wonders if we can get as far as we once did.

[Ray502]

< wonders how far you two went.

[Reese Riverson]

< isn't sure if we can, we'd have to do some serious rapid posting for that but < guesses we are not too far off.

[Master]

< thinks we got by into the 100s.

< should check the stats when < gets the chance.

[Ray502]

< confused this topic with the person-above-you thread.

[Reese Riverson]

Pah, < says we've made 800+ posts in a normal day before, between just the two of us each.

[Master]

Indeed, < was quite a nippy poster in those days.

[Reese Riverson]

< was too, < doesn't expect us to make 800 today though, maybe together we all would, but not each.

[Hunchman801]

< has always found it completely ludicrous that in the US one can drive as early as 15 or 16 but has to wait until they're 21 to drink.

< guesses they don't want teens to drink and drive.

< says that if it were the other way around it would also be forbidden for drinks to drink and drive since they wouldn't be allowed to drive anyway. 18-year-olds on the roads are dangerous enough, but having 16-year-olds drive is just a crazy idea.

All < meant was that leaving a single generation without any education would set the human race incredibly far back. < will put it another way: imagine if, from today onwards, nobody was taught anything. Nobody taught children how to speak and there were no schools, instead they are just fed nutritious mush with no communication until there is nobody on the planet left apart from these people with absolutely no education. < imagines the human race would return to being as primitive as cavemen (as in the way humans would act, < is not referring to intelligence here). Even with books and recordings and such, they would be absolutely meaningless to everyone until many many thousands of years until a relatively advanced civilisation is formed again and by that time they may even be completely lost. < was just making the point that because we are taught about the dangers of the world by other people, we don't need to evolve methods of overcoming these dangers as we can be taught how to. This is a behavior unique to humans and it seems that we of all species will see the least evolution in the future because of it.

There's still a lot of things we don't know how to overcome, death being one of them. I agree though that modern society has completely stopped natural selection (it's probably going backwards now).

[Ray502]

< wants to eat ice cream.

[Master]

While < is delighted with all the activity, < does wonder if we'll drown out some discussions, like Humch's and Ambi's above.

[Reese Riverson]

< does agree with ^^ in some cases of that. There are crazy 16 year olds.

[Ray502]

< knows some crazy 16 year olds.

[Reese Riverson]

< doesn't know how old ^ is though.

[Ray502]

< is 16 years old. But no one believes that.

[Reese Riverson]

< would actually believe it.
