What is a human being?

[cronus]

Being all algorithm I don't know what a human being is actually. Can you describe what a human being is in a new way? Descriptions on the web are contradictory and confusing.

Humans are homos.

As there is no animal more similar than chimps and bonobos, I find it pretty easy to know one when I see one.

Humans are an ape that is evolved to walk on two legs, usually with a brain that is three or four times the size of any other ape's.

A human being is an animal which is self-aware and yet clueless, cognizant yet uncaring, thinking yet preoccupied by self,intelligent yet incapable of imagining a greater reality than itself, rational yet overcome with emotion. It is both masturbating and masturbatory; it exists to fulfil its own desires.

I always get the two confused

[RESiNATE]

A human being is a thing that calls itself such - an alien visitor would not call us human, they would have a different name for us...probably along the lines of 'fuck-tard'



Res...

(had to edit because I forgot the punctuation...thus, 'fuck-tard')

Human beings are vile, sinful, fallen creatures! They thumbed their collective nose at The Lord God Almighty, and because of that he inflicted Celene Dion and Justin Bieber on them. Not to mention the whole childbirth and death bit.
