[Ja'k Dawsiin]

Humanity will achieve more in the real world than the Na'vi ever will in fantasy.

yeah...

I might be being a little more extreme here than I am in real life but I do hold those sentiments all the same. Guess I enjoy arguments.

Humanity is the only species in existance that even BEGINS to give two ****s about the "environment" beyond what directly impacts itself.

Fine then.

Only species we know of. Thats still puts us well ahead statistically compared to whatever else we might expect to meet. What has you so convinced than another more advanced species would care about the environment more? Necessity breeds progress. They may have developed space flight because they nuked their home planet into an unlivable state while humanity managed to restrain itself.


Whatever else we meet is likly to be a predatory species as intellegance is far less usefull to herbivores than it is to hunters.

another more advanced species would care about the environment

why does another species have to be 'advanced'? here we go again with the 'we tried to give them roads,but they like mud' crap from the arrogance of humanity.


the Na'vi have a far better quality of life,fulfillment,and happiness than we the 'advanced species' do,us with our nuclear waste,missles,terrorists,judgemental religions,taxes,rat-race jobs,corporate slavery,cancers,pollution,over-population,resource mismanagement and shortages,the list is endless.

screw humanity and it's petty society,greed,and money.

No.

You are confusing humans with humanity. Humanity is about progress. It is about constantly improving on what we have. Humanity is about never being content and always striving for improvment. Sure humans are greedy, petty and shortsighted. But their greedy petty shortsightedness just motivates them to progress the species.

I'm not saying we should force other species to become like us. THAT would be arroant. But neither should humanity deny what makes it great. If anyone is going to solve the problems that their planet (Meteors, star death, galactic collisions) and UNIVERSE (Heat death, eternal expansion) faces it is going to be an enterprising and progressive race which SEES that there is far more to life than what is directly before it. Humans might be shortsighted individually. But races like the Na'vi are shortsighted as a SPECIES.

You can live in the mud all you want, but humanity marches on.

And one day those who live in the mud will ask humanity to save them.

[Ja'k Dawsiin]

Humanity is about progress. um,no...humanity is about greed and self-preservation.

You can live in the mud all you want, but humanity marches on.

yes,i'll take the mud,thanks. you can keep your petty humanity,and it's 'progress'. lol

But no species is truly "better" as a whole (that's getting into the realm of social Darwinism, and the horrors it brought to humanity), it's all about what each one values, and what values outside observers hold. You call the Na'vi shortsighted, a more accurate word would probably be "romantic." A focus on the here and now, an emphasis on spirituality and emotion, as well as an emphasis on the group as a whole. Humans are more utilitarian, sacrificing the present moment (and as history shows through much of civilization, in many cases, lives) for future goals, with more emphasis on science and economics, as well as a focus on the individual. Each society has its pluses and minuses, it's values and traditions. Which one people view as better is a reflection of their values and what personally reverberates with them. It's all relative.
