Helping others will be the doom of our civilization

Our civilization is at yet another deadly crossroads. Will we all be killed by a nuclear holocaust, enslaved by self-serving aliens or be cooked by invisible gamma rays from space? That could certainly be the case! OR will our civilization in stead be able live through and survive the numerous identified doomsday scenarios by slowly, but surely developing the technology necessary to protect us from each single threat? If so, this would leave us immortal, putting the human race on the map as the newest, perhaps overly confident player in the universe. So far, our civilization has done good. Luck dictated that our planet was formed at a habitable distance from our sun, the chance of that being 2 % according to the Drake equation. Then, life evolved in the form of simple cells 3,6 billion years ago. The same Drake character has speculated that the chances of this is one in ten. These simple cells then evolved into increasingly more advanced life forms - bacteria, fish, reptiles, mammals, Neanderthals, aborigines and further on to what we are allowed to classify as intelligent life - beating yet another 1 in 10 odds.As the years passed we evolved even further to where we are today, an Earth ripe with Finns, Japanese and Germans bringing discipline, efficiency, ordenung and cutting edge technology to us all, launching a world war now and then only to truly motivate innovative change in those parties involved. Having beaten a lot of high odds, we again are called to the table and must roll the dice, beat the odds and fight the universe for our civilization to survive. Not rolling the dice is not an option - that pesky, but necessary industrial revolution made sure of that. That aside, leaving the North Koreans and any asteroids flying through space to themselves does not seem like a good idea. We need to take charge of our own faith! We need to threaten the Koreans and prepare nuclear detonations in space.Our best and brightest would say the most likely outcome in the coming years is that we die, leaving the planet for another species to step up, be it the dolphins or a handful of underground Eskimos on a strict fish diet. Or, our civilization could continue to beat the house and continue to evolve, eventually obtaining immortality. To achieve this, we need to colonize other planets. Being spread across our little part of the universe, we are safe from any single point of failure. This will enable us to continue towards becoming omnipotent Gods - masters of the Universe. We need to be smart in the coming years. We are where we are because of a simple rule - survival of the fittest. Sure, luck somebody comes into play, but in the long run, the deserving will prevail. We are truly the fittest, a little ironic looking at how many people are overweight today. However, only about 10 % of the work force truly contribute, the rest simply man unimportant stations.The political left mean well when they want to come to the aid of all those in need: hungry Africans, Haitians without huts, those inflicted with AIDS or Malaria or simply keeping Greece from going bankrupt. As an example, in Norway we are expected to feed gypsies beggars, adopt an Asian long distance and keep pouring money into Africa and whatever problem they have created this year. And the Greek had it coming, a lazier people is hard to find, even outside Europe.This philosophy is highly counterproductive - the resources spent on lost causes should instead be used developing new space vessels, researching alternative energy sources or educating German scientists. If anybody will advance science, it is the Germans and with their ever-lasting shame from WW2 they are guilted to share their finding with the rest of us. The jews will keep making sure they are reminded.Darwin is turning in his grave. He used butterflies to illustrate why the red ones would and should die, while the green flourished. Earth is billions of years old, and there has never been a case of red butterflies feeling sorry for green butterflies, offering them moist leaves to sit on and bringing food to those that were unable to hunt themselves. Nor has there ever been a case of lions taking pitty to neighbouring hyenas in need. On the contrary, the lions would enjoy seeing the hyenas starve before them as it would mean yet another meal today and less competition tomorrow. The lions are focused on securing their own future and if they are the strongest, they will survive. If everybody was programmed to help the weak among us, we would still be living in the stone age as we never had time to develop the tools that would advance our race. In stead we would be busy providing shelter to those poor Neanderthals, however stupid, inbred and underdeveloped they might be. Going to sleep in our cold caves, we could take comfort in the fact that we had done good. The defense against asteroids heading for earth, however, would have to wait yet another day. Unknowingly to us, the dolphins were adding even more resources in the preparation of a shark holocaust that would disturb all who lived in the oceans and secure the Dolphin's place at the top of the food chain.I argue that helping others is something we should strive for, but when the time is right. First, we must focus on ourselves. We need to become dominant, immortal and god-like creatures. Only then should we consider helping others. I would say only if it benefits us even further, but I might be wrong as a more advanced version of myself will make the decision. That is however not the point, the point is that we should live and let live. Occasionally intervening if it benefits us, including the use of deadly force.This might seem harsh, but it is better that ten people die today, than a hundred tomorrow. Anyways, the decision should be based on the above, in certain cases a hundred people tomorrow might be the better choice.Any argument against the above should elaborate on how our civilization survival chances are effected.
