The observation of human behavior

The observation of human behavior
Renee Aste, Lowell Massachusets

In previous post I mentioned natural selection/evolution. Recently I was watching PBS’s Nature in which it showed a male bird mating with a rock. Naturally a viewer would laugh at a bird dumb enough to mate with a rock, because only the smartest/strongest animals are suppose to mate utilizing each others corresponding reproduction organs to procreate and protect. That’s how species survive and as assumed by many this is how we evolved into human beings.

So I wondered what it would be like to be an alien observing human behavior on Earth, much like biologists observe nature. Would aliens think we’re a sophisticated bunch of organisms, because we’re so sexually liberated?

More in the fold

In scientific observation wouldn’t we be seen as morons when it comes to sex?
We think watching other people have sex in media form as entertainment.
We’ll stimulate ourselves; rather then seek out a mate.
We take pride in killing our offspring, of course in utero. It would just be too icky, to actually have to witness it in person is unsanitary and unsafe.

Anything sexual feels good, except of course having children, which happens to be the whole point of sex.

Who are these idiots? Oh yeah, us.
Are we crazy creationists who think human beings just magically appear on earth? Don’t we accept genealogy of the species, we only exist due to sex, sex, and more sex.

Remember there was that old fashion kind of sex, where a man and a woman come to a mutual understanding, consent, oblige themselves to any resulting offspring. Oh, never mind such idea sounds way too reasonable. We’re humans, we’re complicated creatures. We like to intentionally screw things up and then educate other people to be just as dumb.

I’m not picking on anyone in particular. For the most part we’re all raised with the sexual mentality that sex has nothing to do with procreation. We all have fallen victim to such illogical ideas, at one time or another in out lives. It is socially awkward, to say ‘Umm… As humans we’re dumber then a bird screwing rock” I realize how unpopular that statement is. People can understandably be defensive, with all of the self esteem and intelligence being questioned. Can't hurt the ego, you know. Objectively, we’ve made human sexuality a joke to be laughed at.

I’m not a true Darwinist though; in fact I’m a Catholic. I don’t particularly believe in only the strongest/smartest or any particular genetic trait in humanity is better then another. We’re all humans. I’m just asking we should acknowledge the importance of valuing sex, because it is how we got here.
