As an atheist i get asked all the time what my goals are. What i think human kind should thrive for.. Mostly sarcastically by douche bag religious people with a chip on their shoulder but it's still a question none the less.
My answer to what i think human kind should thrive for? Well.. I think our number one goal as HUMANS (not republicans.. liberals.. democrats.. etc) should be to explore space. Looking at pictures and really seeing the scope of the universe and whats out there is astonishing. We look at these things as if it's impossible.. but i think if we had some sort of global program. That anyone could join and work for, all working towards the goal of cryogenics, understanding space and how to move through it, and also building these machines and such. I think it would give a ton of people a new found purpose in life.. They would be fed, housed and free to leave when they wanted. I know i for one would sign up.
Who knows what is out there? whole civilizations.. different forms of energy.. plus we would have a plan B when earth is used up. I guess in my mind i only have so long on this planet.. I want things to evolve so i can actually see these things! I hate waiting around for everyone else to get on board. I understand that some people are content with just living their everyday lives as same as the day before.. but im not. Im sorry i don't think a .00000002" thinner phone is important. Once upon a time we thought traveling faster than the speed of sound was impossible yet.. here we are. Imagine if we had everyone working on a global project.. all working towards the same goal.. I don't think anything would or could stand in our way.. except maybe an asteroid.. or a black hole.. but you know what i mean.
So i know i may sound crazy but thats truly my thoughts on things. My question for you guys is the same..
What should humankind's number 1 goal be?
I posted this in the Atheist thread because i want to know what fellow atheists think.. I already know what religious peoples answer would be therefore i don't care about their answer.

In a universe full of infinite possibilities what can happen, will happen.
