      Should humanity have an end goal?

      And if so, what should it be? What'll we do if we reach it? Create a dream world, dreamviews.

      If not, why not? Why is blind chaos (not really chaos, but bending to the will of capitalism and nationalism, which can produce disastrous side effects... such as meat industry lobbyists preventing anti-abuse legislation, or a bunch of rich white lards dying of the fat while others starve. The main point, is that we haven't chosen a specific end point, and while for now we seem to be trying to improve the quality of human life, what then?) better?

      God I butchered that last sentence with parentheses. I need to stop posting.

      More food:

      Once we get our grand unified theory (if such a thing is possible. Formal math is incomplete, why not science?), what should we do with it? Should we share our knowledge and aid with struggling alien races? Let them work it out on their own? How large should our population be? What's the coolest technology that we could invent? How should we treat the environment and other species on earth? Is terraforming ethical on planets that probably would've developed a life history of their own? How should humans evolve? To what extent should we engineer ourselves?

      Anyone read Asimov's Foundation series?
