Yes.
Why am I worthy? Because of all that I have done. "How much have you really done?" you might ask. "And how have I not heard of you if your actions justify your existance?"

Quite simply it is because I am the proverbial butterfly who's wings flapping cause hurricanes, as is everyone else. Every single second you exist, you cause a chain reaction of events that invisibly change the world. That purchase you made recently denied another person of that object, which perhaps made them keep that money only to make a life changing decision with it, or perhaps it got them in a bad mood, which affected how they interacted for the rest of the day. Maybe they didn't stay mad, assuming the second, because someone else took time out of their day to console them, changing the events of their day, or perhaps they stayed mad and treated others more harshly, which in turn could have angered someone else. Hell, your very life changes the environment, which it is suggested to raise CO2 levels. This in turn advances the cycle that starts anew with an Ice Age, where glaciers carve into the land, and the sea falls dramatically, only for that Age to end and for new streams and lakes to have been made, and rocks transported from one continent to another. All this changes what life is like in the future, well beyond what you'll see.

Perhaps, my actions have inadvertantly given rise to new thoughts, ideas that will forever shape history in another way, or maybe they've helped it stay on course, cancelling out another person's actions who would change the world, no one knowing if it was for better or worse.

And then of course you have my ideas, a collection of data and interpretations that define me. They are a sum of countless actions and thoughts all put together with my own view on them. I contribute to the sum while remaining different. This is what makes me Human.

I am human/terran/whatever you want to call us a species.

Also I read the title as Are you Hyman...I think it's time to lay off the jelly beans!

Hitler has a mustache. Mario, too, has a mustache. Following that logic, Mario must be Hitler.
I do believe that is borderline "Insane Troll Logic" rather than logic failure. It's a form of logic... that happens to exist seperate from conventional logic or this particular dimension all together, though I doubt it exists in a "dimension" exactly.

As for me, yes, as explained by my invisible post (damn you forums and your ability to render my thoughts null and void).

Ok, now the forums are just fucking with me. I have a strange suspicion that I should be on the lookout for them to ask to be fed a stray cat.

It seems to me more what you're asking is "Are you willing to live/unbroken?". Which is to say are you running on autopilot through life of not.

Either way, yes, I am human. I have weaknesses, I have strengths, I am happy, but i am also sad. I feel, I love, I hate. I dont know what makes me special in a world of 6 billion+ others that are also human. But I know I am not broken, that i still have the zest for life, the will to fight for the tomorrow today, the grim determination I will watch that sun rise again and set again. I firmly believe I have earned that right, by living to the best of my abilities.

however, if you are the kind that couldnt contemplate a single cutscene for 5 seconds without hitting the 'skip' button, then you are human; the same primates that not 50000 years ago beat each other with sticks for food and women..
We still do that, the sticks just hit harder and the food became less of an option.

I get it. My logic sucked. No need to tell me.

I don't care, I am just me. I chose human because I'm a devious sort who answers polls before reading the post, therefore by flesh and blood I am teh humanz.
If, however, you meant for us to look deep inside ourselves to find happiness, guilt, longing etcetera etcetera then I'm afraid I simply have not lived long enough to gain experience in order to answer the question. As truthfully as I can *say* in my semi-naive youth; I am human.

I judge what it means to be human by my own standards so it's totally possible that i'm the only human.

My grilled cheese sandwich was terribly flawed (I burned it accidentally), you are terribly flawed. Following your logic, you must be my grilled cheese sandwich. :)

In every measure and qualiication I can think of in a philosophical answer I measure up to human standards.

But I answered no, as I am in fact a super-intelligent shade of the colour blue.

I've never considered myself a human. Partly because I've never really fit in (there's always something a little off). I consider the world to revolve around me. I refuse to belong to the same race as you wretched lot. I see you as nothing more than monkeys, or more factually, holograms. You are nothing to me. As I walk past you on the streets, I'm repulsed by your inferiority.

Yeah, I'm disturbed. But at least I'm no F*ing human!!

What kind of a stupid question is that Of course we all are. Unless it's one of those rhetorical existentialist questions that no one cares about.
