Interesting.<p>Now, imagine you were earth. You want to support life. In fact, you want life to flourish. What do you do?<p>You've tried "small", but bacterias are too small to flourish.<p>You've tried "water", but fish and crawfish just isn't enugh, is it?<p>You've tried "plants", but trees and flowers just grow, they don't expand, evolve.<p>You've tried "big", but an even bigger rock killed them all. And ouch it did hurt too!<p>Now, what do you try?<p>How about "smart"?<p>Yes, that's it!<p>Smart grows.<p>Smart expands. Smart can even _protect_ you from those pesky big rocks flying around out there. No more hurt, no more pain.<p>And smart evolves. Boy does smart evolve! No longer do you have to rely on that long and tedious process "smart" chooses to call "evolution". No, smart can _accelerate_ evolution.<p>Yes, smart can also be destructive, but it's a learning phase, needed in order for smart to evolve to a level where they can protect you from those big, ugly rocks (ouch ouch ouch!).<p>Even better: they can put your precious life on other planets.<p>Think about that: accelerated evolution and spreading to other planets. Now _that's_ flourishing!<p>Yes, humans truly are the best invention of earth ever. You should be proud of yourself.
