Composite Human tries to take on Real Life

[Mand21]

Composite Human one day awakens in our planet Earth, with no equipment and a simple goal: to exterminate all forms of life.

So, with their 125 years of life expectancy, Composite Human has to kill all forms of life on Earth before they die and manage to do so in a way that they can still survive for an indeterminate amount of time if they could stretch their lifespan further. Can they do that while having as starting equipment just an armour, the best possible starting location and their overwhelming, devastating intellect?

While they start with nothing, they can obtain anything from their environment and opponents.

 

[Mand21]

Changed the post so that CH has no equipment as I thought the equipment might make that a stomp.

 

[Mr._Redic]

Killing all life right now is basically impossible even if every human was united in doing so. Maybe in the future with relativistic asteroids or something, but not now.

Killing all humans is slightly less impossible, but still can't be done, because even CH would mess up in a real world with endless unknowable variables that can break their plans.

Real life screws him over FRA.

 

[Moritzva]

Discounting bacteria and similar things, CH can get pretty close by getting access to nukes and carpet bombing the entirety of the earth, but he'd miss a few people who are underground.

He could starve out most humans, but far underground life would be nigh impossible to reach, along with deep ocean life.

 

[KLOL506]

TBF, even with all his skills, time is simply not on his side. He'd eventually get gunned down.

 

[Moritzva]

He wouldn't fight a gun fight. He'd fight from afar.

 

[KLOL506]

Other people would too.

Either way, CH eventually runs out of supplies and writes a memoir before dropping dead. Or, someone finds out his crap and eventually orders a full-out assault on him and wipes him out.

 

[Mand21]

Can't CH pretty much always steal supplies and can't they manipulate people instead of fighting directly all the time?

They could cause a world war and stay somewhere safe as most of humanity wipes itself out and creates an ice age due to nuclear winter.

 

[KLOL506]

Not all people are gonna give in to CH's demands tho. Skepticism always exists.

 

[Mand21]

And there we have the best manipulator of all times.

 

[KLOL506]

You're still forgetting that not all people are gonna be easily manipulated and will go real trigger-happy.

 

[Mand21]

Um, circumstances can also be manipulated. CH can create the pretext for a war and let it all burn. This doesn't need to be done by telling people to do it based on psychological trigger, they can be fooled into thinking it's necessary or something like that. And it can be done collectively.

 

[Moritzva]

We still have the best manipulator who's ever existed, the skills of all dictators from Hitler to Ivan, able to rally and conduct people under even the most terrible ideas and clauses, all in one person.

While I very highly doubt he can kill off everyone, he can get pretty close.

 

[Mr._Redic]

They'd be an excellent demagogue, I do think they'd have a good chance of killing a shit-load of people, just nowhere close to human extinction.

 

[Moritzva]

They'd probably grab enough nukes to destroy a majority of all life, but deep aquatic and deep underground would be too hard to reach without finding a way to destroy the earth.

 

[Mr._Redic]

Self-preservation is too strong of a force to manipulate all the people necessary to pull that off, and CH just doesn't have enough time or even the ability to manipulate all of society to get rid of all the people who would resist. CH is ultimately limited by a human brain that can't take into account the infinite variables that makes real life real, even a vastly super-intelligent A.I. probably couldn't pull it off in the short or medium-term through words alone.

 

[Mand21]

I see. owo

So CH would scar humanity forever, but not even destroy it, huh?

 

[Moritzva]

Almost destroy it and likely make the entire earth a nuclear wasteland, but survivors will exist.
