Ponies Are Superior To Humanity... but

[Bendy 1,819]

Ponies Are Superior To Humanity, but only by totally unrealistic standards that could only exist in a cartoon.

 

Wouldn't you agree? Or do you believe there could be an alien race out there somewhere just like the ponies?

 

Less wars and all that stuff. I have a feeling that pretty much any sapient minded species behaves rather similar to humans out there in the universe. I doubt an all peaceful hippy alien race does exist.

 

Even if there is an all peaceful, hippy alien race exists, who live in a perfect garden world and have 100% green energy and blah blah blah. And somehow gets the ability to travel the stars with ease.

 

If they meet a warlike, industrious alien race, while they pollute the hell out of their planets, they also build massive armies and would have vast numbers of space ships to overwhelm their enemies. Along with better military experience.

 

Topped off with the ability to travel the stars. So, the hippy aliens would likely be destroyed or enslaved pretty easily by them.

You are talking about an alien race with the heart of ponies as opposed to the form of ponies.  In that case then yes, there is nothing that stops such a race from being the winner in their galaxy or part of the galaxy.

 

Geological time is HUGE.  If it took such a race 100 times longer to get to the point where it was ready to colonize space from the industrial revolution than a more militaristic race, it would make no difference at all in practice.  100, 1000, a million years difference between civilizations is marginal compared to the billions of years available.

Minor point I dispute: I don't think ponies are superior to humanity.   Though I'ma not get into that, haha.

If said aliens come in a varied assortment and high enough in number to get a good bit of each type, well... there's bound to be some like ponies, some worse than humans, some in between, and some better than ponies, regardless of what you're judging them by.  I could see aliens that behave similar to ponies, sure, but I think they'd be quite rare, a little bit more primitive (conflict drives progress), and probably non-magical. Interesting option to think about though, and they'd probably still be a lovely species.

Yeah, but we could have some aliens that just go around killing everyone. Wipe out an entire sapient species, with no mercy nor compassion. Followed by mining the alien's planets bare before moving on to commit genocide on another weak and non intergalactic civilisation. With the mindset of anyone who isn't them is be destroyed and their worlds to be harvested for resources.    

 

There could be some hope of an alien race that stops other aliens from killing everyone hopefully.

@@Bendy, true, and that would be terrible, haha.  Though, unfortunately morality is an extremely subjective thing. The framework or system you view it through horrendously colors a species or group of individuals; that's part of why I don't think humans can be considered worse than ponies.

There could be hope of civil war among the aliens. With factions within the aliens saying. "Jeez guys! I don't like this whole genocide thing. How above peace and love instead of war?"

 

*War breaks out between hippy aliens and warlike aliens.*

If you had something more cogent than just disgust, then maybe, but it's not like you even think humanity as you've said to me before. So essentially your outrage is more rooted in offense at the idea that an alien race could wipe us out due to our military strength rather than the loss of lives or culture.

 

Look, I'm not disagreeing in that I think elevating Equestria to something the canon shows us it is not, e.g. perfect and rid of all human ills while demonizing humanity is both tiresome and poisonous to one's soul. However, I simply implore you think on what posts of this nature might be beyond a simple rant. Entertain a serious question from your readers.

Unless the humans are overpowered from Warhammer or some other 'Humanity F**K Yeah' universe. Humanity would probably lose even against the canon ponies with the same power from the show. But I think the canon ponies would never hunt down humanity to its last child. Sure, teach us a lesson, but I doubt they would fully commit to the complete and utter genocide of humanity, when we are on our knees and begging for peace.

 

They would see the fear in our eyes. Reach out and try befriend us, despite our savage nature.

 

That's if there was even a war to begin with.  

Edited February 16, 2016 by Bendy

[Denim&Venöm 16,777]

it's possible. Anything is possible in the universe. 

 

As far as being dominated by a war like race? Not likely. As those war like races would have annihilated themselves. Races that are at peace with themselves don't develop such capacities for war. Like us, they develop through war with themselves. The one day they go too far and kill off the only foe they've ever known. 

Probably why we've never found contact with another advanced civilization. They're gone.

You said humanity could be defeated. I am well aware of that. There is pretty much nothing we could do against an alien race invading Earth. We would either be all dead or enslaved, no question. 

 

I suppose, I have (if that's what you want, I don't know) written seriously stories. I don't just write trollfics. I not sure if its the answer you are looking for, but I hope it can satisfy slightly. 

 

The perfect/mary sue Equestria is little more than a fantasy. No place could ever exist. It's complete make belief. Well, at least it's very unlikely to exist.

That's exactly what The Republic, to Animal Farm, to 1984, to Brave New World have said from thousands of years. Your point could be made much stronger if you actually took some inspiration from these works and similar. 

[Goat-kun 2,502]

When it comes to intelligence and capability, is the way of men and equines truly the most efficient? Can we survive all the wonders and horrors of reality if most could not survive their own insignificance?

 

War? Each day our own bodies are at war with themselves. It is a dance that flows like raging water. Few learn the steps, but those who do, I wonder if they would agree that violence is a thing of lesser civilizations. I wonder if those who grow past themselves force their will upon nature or choose to imitate it, or perhaps the pinnacle of growth just means that one has become the other. Would such beings look at men and equines as something special, or would they look at us as we look at a river: a mere natural occurrence to be used and molded?

[ShadOBabe 18,985]

Well I wouldn't say ponies are straight up superior to humanity in everything.

They don't even have internet or basic space travel. But perhaps they are better off without. XD

If you talk the insanity of the multiverse there's an universe where everyone is Nicolas Cage. And other crazy things.

 

That's assuming there is even an multiverse.

Edited February 18, 2016 by Bendy

[Buck Testa 5,503]

I'd say its more likely in a Multiverse scenario than an alien from another planet in this universe. 

 

If you believe in the idea that any possible configuration of the universe can and does exist, then a universe where all the perimeters required to make a planet like our show is absolutely possible, and not only is it possible there would be countless variations of that universe more numerous than all the fanfics we've ever come up with it. If you look up the concept "Library of babel", which shows that every possible book that has ever and will ever exist can be created from a mathematical formula, the multiverse basically would work in the same exact way. 

[ManaMinori 4,144]

In what way are ponies superior to humanity, exactly? Much of what is shown in FiM proves contrary to such claims.
