Usually the question is, what is the point of life? but this seems an inane question to me. Life is worth living.
However, what is the point of building more and more concrete structures, or polluting more and more, and harming our soil, preventing perhaps in the future, our ability to grow crops. What is the point of building hugfe super-highways, if in the end, they amount to an enormous amount of energy to maintain, just so we can get from A to B. What is the point of building an archaic dinosaur bigger and bigger?
just so we can have more of a population? be able to drive a car so we can go somewhere when places could be organized tightly into communities?
Concidering all the side-effects of organized civilizations (pollution, etc)...and its enormous vulnerabilities (centralization; all you need is to destroy washington and we have no way of reacting, or destroying or sedentary agriculture, and we cannot support our population's demands)..what is the point of all this?
