If there comes a time when mankind knows all there is to know, (and don't get me wrong, I don't think that is possible), but given that scenario, what then, would we do with ourselves?
what might have caused that original curiosity to begin with?

If a creature can find food and reproduce, why did higher intelligence evolve, at least in humans? In other words, what is the point of becoming smarter when being primitive is enough to meet all needs, food, mating etc. ? Is it because becoming intelligent makes existance easier? What is the point?
The b*tch is that there's no how-to manual for crafting a good identity, and most of the time, the pubescent brain latches onto a readily available archetype and we all hope for the best. It's difficult stuff, but that's what the human being's life is all about. "Finding itself, and when (if) it does, holding onto that identity for all it's worth with both hands."

I meant, play as human. You are a god that has fallen asleep and forgot he is a god and is dreaming that he is human. In a manner of speaking.
