Humans are perhaps the only beings in the world, but definitely on Earth, that are thinking about their own existence. They place themselves in time: investigate the past and imagine the future. They leave memories for later generations intentionally and unintententionally. At the same time they try to understand the physical and metaphysical layers of existence. They can count chances of the impact of an asteroid, the cycles of changes of new ice ages, also the consequences of their own actions. The special situation of the conscious being, as they not only suffer the unintentional physical laws, but has the opportunity to intervene even in their own evolution, but seemingly unable to avoid disaster despite all of this.
