Well for a debate to really start off, you need an opposition. So, I suppose I'll take the role of that. Though I must say that this isn't my area of expertise.
I agree with the above mentioned points but humans are quite different than other animals. We have the capability to reason. Animals act on instinct, humans do too. But humans can fight off their instinct with reason. I mean technically, humans are mammals. That is fact and I can't argue that. Although I can say we are on a different level compared to other animals that makes us more distinct.
~.~ But mammals are one of the six main classes of animals.. you're reinforcing the topic.
There is no technically. You know what is also a mammal? Bears.
Couldn't it be that reason and instinct are like night and day? One can't exist without the other. Sure humans are inquisitive and they would like to know things and etc.. yet, wouldn't you say that we instinctively would like to achieve great wealth, popularity, and greatness? Isn't that a trait we all share?
I'm sure I could use this forum as an example. Noone wastes hours upon hours toiling away in photoshop, RGSS, or RMXP on something that people wouldn't like. They make things to gain popularity .. to get better.. or just to get a pat on the back.
So what would you say the driving force of humanity is? Is it reason, or instinct?
Why do you think we are attracted to others (be it the opposite sex or the same sex). Sometimes it is reproduction the other times its just for someone to fill a "void".. for someone to be with. Yet, what is the reason in our worker bee's hive of civilization? Why?
An innocent question with an translucent answer.
This answer will blow your mind
The driving force of humanity is infact sex.. instinct. Even someone that can be seen as a loner as myself can see it. I can exist alone but I always feel a need for someone else. I feel the need to attract the opposite sex (yet, I hate kids..)
Why would someone want money the supposed root of all evil? Sex
Why would someone want to be better than anyone? Sex
Why would someone want to go to japan and be in animes? Sex (friggin weeaboos)
Why would someone want to do anything productive in society? Sex
Why would someone want to be beautiful? Sex
Why would someone want to not age ever? Sex
Why would someone want to attract the opposite sex? Sex
Why would someone drown their troubles in alcohol? Lack of Sex
Why would someone want to be immortal and live forever? To not die.. for the above reasons
Why would someone want to have sex? SEX .. and probably to reproduce.
Yeah I know what you're thinking? What about the people that don't want to have sex? Are you kidding me?
Listen.. those who really are that miserable usually go insane after being alone twenty two years and lose track of time very frequently.. sometimes they frequent a forum called Chaos Project and drink tons of alcohol. Deep down those people hate life for the sole reason that he will die regardless of what he'll do and life if a big joke.
Those types of people don't exist. Sex is an instinct, natural selection is inevitable, and I like turtles.
^I was totally drunk when I wrote that.. I'll leave it there.. I have had a busy night involving naked women.. I'm beat.. later. My point still remains humans are animals.
