How far do you believe human insanity can and will go?

Asked by ZEPHYRA (21750points) April 7th, 2010

Do you think we are going to see and hear things in the future that our mind cannot even imagine?
What will come next?

It will go all the way to the very end.

Impossible to say.

But one things for sure, if mankind cannot find a way to temper ego and all the insanity of such, the need to be right, to win, to monopolize, to control the future, to power over, the outcome for mankind and the planet is not looking too rosy.

Doesn’t play well with others…not good.

Synthetic humans will be used in place of real humans for things like:

rape and torture acts.
adult to chid sex acts.
human to animal sex acts.
target practice.

These things will be justified and marketed as being harmless, even therapeutic.

Hate to simplify this so much, but I’m tired and need to go to bed so:

Sanity = Survival
Insanity = Death

And that’s all you need to know.

crazy stuff @Neizvestnaya… but our “insanity” or maybe it is just creativeness will go on as far as we want to. Our minds are limitless, anything our race sets our minds to we can eventually accomplish. Future generations will come up with stuff that seems completely baffling. Just look, things around us in today’s society, would seem completeley insane to someone in the 16th century. So basically, we can keep creating and creating, and it will never end, unless maybe if the human race becomes extinct…foreshadowing

That stuff happens everyday in places you think it isn’t happening by people you would have never thought would do it.

I’m working on that as we speak. I’ll get back to you with the answer just as soon as I am too crazy to provide any sensible response. :-)

For me, it really depends on the kind of environment. When stress is put on it, the reaction to it can be really ugly.
The book/film Blindness. In it everyone goes suddenly goes blind, except for one woman who’s immune. She’s put in quarantine with other affected people. Eventually, something really disgusting happens and in a normal setting would be totally insane. I would have never imagined soemthing like that.
I guess I see insanity as a moral depravity or decomposition.

Even Captain Kirk didn’t have an iPhone. Why shouldn’t our grandkids have flaunlian cranolents? You don’t know what this is? I don’t either. But our grandkids will. Let future insanity surprise us.
