On The Extinction of Dinosaurs


There had been several debates about how dinosaurs suddenly got extinct. Perhaps the most famous one is the one that says that a meteor hit the earth triggering a chain of ecological changes that eventually lead to the extinction of the poor old lizards.

But I and my friend Dael had a much more scientific explanation. We figured out that they simply got intelligent. We ruled out evolutionary causes since Charles Darwin wasn't born yet during the mesozoic era, hence evolution was not yet invented. It was more probably caused by a so called "meteor of wisdom".
They suddenly began to realize how boring their lives were; eat, sleep, reproduce... Life became meaningless and unchallenging with the availability of all knowledge. Depression is what have driven them into a suicidal behavior.
