6th

I've met quite a few of you but I know there are those out there who subsist or at least drink human blood. I'd like it if we all met, conversed, or just generally....had fun together. After all, your best allies are going to be people who sympathize with you though I cannot say we're all capable of sympathy. Regardless of what your thoughts are, come to 849 Goldberg on Saturday if the status quo at Mayfield holds up. Nine PM is probably a suitable enough time. It will be dark out for those of you who can't travel in the day. Respond back to me if you're coming.


[Merem is outside of his house, pouncing on the snow that drifts by. Really, it's like he's a child enjoying the fun of the new winter weather. Still, he's bundled up in a rather large, white and golden coat. You can thank Ciel for that. And if your name is Ciel, Vietnam, or Taiwan, he'll probably keep playing in the snow if you pass by. If you're not, he'll stop and do something else a bit more mature. It's kinda hard to look WISE AND COOL when you're having fun.]

That is the natural selfishness of beings capable of auto-evolution. You are correct. It is universal to sentient, sapient life forms.

[Yuki makes no comment as to whether or not she possesses that quality.]

What about beings who possess that trait but are not capable of evolving?

[identity profile] bogusmagicker.livejournal.com 2010-12-11 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
Individual beings cannot evolve, regardless. However, the beings that you speak of are offbranches of the human race despite an incapability of continual autoevolution and retain the majority of the traits, including selfishness. They may be considered evolutionary potentials that have reached their end.

. . . A dead-end has been reached as well.

...I can't really say it's a shame.

[identity profile] bogusmagicker.livejournal.com 2010-12-13 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Is that a compliment or an insult or neither? Yuki doesn't seem to care, either way, and nods.]

They are an unparalleled species.

[identity profile] wise-king.livejournal.com 2010-12-13 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Neither would be the proper answer.]

In terms of development, yes. But humans will always have fatal flaws.

[identity profile] bogusmagicker.livejournal.com 2010-12-15 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

The point at which an unflawed species comes into existence is the point at which life will become meaningless.

[Does she mean her own life? Certainly, that is true. Perhaps it's applicable in a broader sense, though.]

[identity profile] wise-king.livejournal.com 2010-12-15 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Life won't be meaningless. The definition will simply change.

[identity profile] bogusmagicker.livejournal.com 2010-12-15 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
. . .

That is true. However, can a changed meaning still indicate the same thing?

[identity profile] wise-king.livejournal.com 2010-12-15 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
The real question would be who dictates the definition and what makes one so sure that it's correct.

[identity profile] bogusmagicker.livejournal.com 2010-12-15 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
That is impossible to know. . . . As it is widely defined, the purpose of life is to reach evolutionary perfection.

Would you agree with this statement?

[identity profile] wise-king.livejournal.com 2010-12-15 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
Evolutionary perfection in regard to their current environment. A species could be perfect for their current location and never progress beyond that yet if transplanted elsewhere, they would possibly die off quickly.

I would agree but make the definition more specific.

[identity profile] bogusmagicker.livejournal.com 2010-12-15 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
True evolutionary perfection. The point at which there is no environment or circumstance on which a species could not capitalize. For a species that exists in all environments, this would be required . . .

[identity profile] bogusmagicker.livejournal.com 2010-12-20 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Yuki nods to this. As does she.]

Then upon attaining this perfection . . . a new definition would be required, as you stated.
