I have a pretty straightforward question - what do you think the weakest link in human physiology is? That is, what systems in the human body are the most prone to failure over an individual's lifespan?

My vote is for either the upper respiratory system, which is almost hilariously prone to infection, or the digestive system.

Your thoughts, /sci/?

For those of you that have taken Chemistry - do Lab sections pretty much suck across the board?

Ours are pretty much in a state of constant clusterfuck. We hardly have enough equipment or chemicals for the entire class, and most of our time in lab is spent crowding around waiting in line to use something. Can I look forward to more of this going forward in the subject?

"Truth be told, I got even higher in the past..."

None of those. My point was to show the idea only. The danger is large, but the space between things is also large. The data we have secure us that we won't see in our lifetime something as big as the end of the world.

But, it's interesting to think that we didn't know this before at all. Even if the danger is incredibly small, assuming there is an undefined amount of hidden threats, it grows likely that something we don't understand might kill us.

Take the ancient world example. A regular storm is coming and a man knows that he will probably survive it for he is 50 years old and he has seen a lot of those, so he goes inside his house and he is calm about it. On that day, a meteor fucks everything up and he won't even know.

And then I move to what you said. I agree with all of that, but that is the storm that is coming. We know we will survive it, I'm not worried about meteors, I'm worried about the unknown.

The dinosaur example you gave is good. Dinosaurs were abundant for millions of years. Millions. A million years is already too much. A year takes too long to pass. We live 100 years tops and a million years is a ten thousand times more than what we live. And they were there for hundreds of millions of years. Just picture: how unlucky was the last generation of dinosaurs to witness such striking end?

I'm not trying to make a religious point or to pretend we are lucky to be here. It's just something to think about. I have yet to make a conclusion.

(I'm not high, but I definately was when I thought of all this).

Picking up women.

I saw in a movie :3
