where are we on the food chain?
 

i was taught that we were at the top of it. but i've become a little skeptical about that as of late. I'm not too not sure if it's considered the "food chain" considering that the source im gonna list doesn't chew us and spit us out, or hell, maybe it does. Natural disasters and disease kill millions of people each year and affect millions more. Not even animals are spared their ferociousness and destruction. So my question is, wouldn't this put diseases and or natural disasters at the top of the chain instead of us? Maybe we should have dual chains? food and a ....

just a thought biggrin:

Too deep, man. Waaaay too deep. Go piss in someone's hair.

..and no, we're the top of the food chain. Natural disasters and diseases don't use us for "food".

oOo:

lol @ thinking natural disasters are animals

i know, thats why i said there should another chain created where it is on the list. just dont know what the name of it would be stupid:

We're at the top because we have no consistent natural predators. Sure the occasional bear, shark, scotsmen will eat someone but...

In order to be in the food chain, it has to be considered alive. A virus isn't on the food chain since it's not alive so there is no way in hell an earthquake is alive.

Ok, i understand that but i never thought that animals were natural disasters. And btw, when a disease latches onto a human/animal, doesn't that make that disease alive?

Virii aren't considered alive because they only carry out one function that living beings do, reproduce. They don't eat food, they don't communicate, they don't have any internal organs, ect. ect. ect.

it seemed to me that you were calling natural disasters things on the food chain which implies they have to be a living thing with the intent to kill in hope to use the "food" as nourishment.

well it does seem to me then that you feel natural disasters should be on the food chain. NATURAL DISASTERS ARE NOT CONSIDERED ALIVE. FORGET THE IDEA.

We're higher than horses, geese, and voles.

Maybe there should be another chain with them on top? Wow, ease up on the thinking. oOo:

i dont see how his ideas are igrnorant? if you read what he posted youd see that hes not saying that disease and natrual disaster are creatures, but that they may threaten our ability to sustain life. i think he was suggesting that disease and disaster could be considered to be in a place "above us on the food chain".

0+1=1

lol blase. i was thinking along those lines. Maybe it'll be the 'death chain' or something. Final destinatish

but judas, you'd see that in order for anything on the chain to exist, it has to be alive. So what's the point in doing philosophy if you know it doesn't meet all of the criteria?

i was hoping that we could all contribute to the second list more than anything. It has to atleast be considered

^.

i think he understands that.

its retarded logic or Overthinking something

Think of all the "things" that could go above us.

Walked in front of bus, bag over head while jacking off, earthquake, a bullett to the head there is no way to create a "chain" from that. its not like a double cheeseburger eats a blazing wildfire.

That'sa good name for a band/album. rock:

But when i think of the second chain, it does has to do more with the path of death more than anything. If i wouldn't have placed "food chain" in the title, i think you guys would be a little more openminded about the topic at hand. Thanks to all who are though.

rofl, GED fails another again annoy: happy: happy: happy:

It wouldn't be a chain so much as a list of the top things that kill humanity.
