  |  | I do not imply that any single group of people (pick your minority) should not procreate. I state that the only inbuilt population control that exists within the human species is the genetic diseases that most of us (about 90%) carry. This has now been nullified by the advances in medicine. Without the advance in medicine there would be fewer genetic diseases around but in turn there would be fewer of us around to carry them.

  |  | But some people still claim that mountains have purposes. One philosopher implied that the purpose of a mountain is to be consumed in a fiery explosion at the end of time. Others say it is to be seen existing. Still others talk complete nonsense. I, obviously, am of the latter group. So the purpose of a mountain is whatever you read into it. Life isn't purposeless, but it isn't purposeful. It's mu, as the cow said.

  |  | you make a huge impact on the world by simply existing. there's no way of knowing what major or minor or trillions of minor things you may have caused simply by takign up space in the universe, giving someone inspiration as you walked by, or simply by putting a thoguht into someone's head by leaving a stick lying on the ground. but since these happen simply by existence and by not-existing too they are individually irrelevant. by dying you would be making an impact that is made hundreds or hundreds of hundreds of times everyday.
