You can write books, or blog, or vlog.Just look how much the Bible and Koran have benefitted subsequent generations - millions slaughtered over thousands of years because of what somebody wrote. The only way to peace and happiness is to question authority and hold everyone to account for what he does, with no excuses based on what somebody else wrote.
Should we care about the survival of our species?Yes and no. Obviously every normal person cares about the survival of the next generation, but evolution pretty well guarantees that multicellular organisms evolve, so "species" is a time-specific label. A chicken is what eventually derived from the dinosaurs that survived the cometary impact, and it has very little in common with a diplodocus.
Should we get rid off "contaminating" DNA from other species? How much genetic changes are allowed for our future descendants/successors?We are what we are - the concept of "contamination" is meaningless.
When genetic engineering is adequately safe, accurate and precise for human reproduction, lineage of individuals won't matter much anymore.The overall genetic robustness of a species depends on randomness. Engineering is about eliminating randomness.
Has it violated the Geneva Convention?Only to the same extent that the Allies did in WWII, and probably to a lesser extent.
Ostrich eggs are warmer that hens eggsUnlikely. The body temperature of all birds is pretty much the same as the essential enzyme reactions that allow them to digest their food are almost identical.
As suggested by @alancalverd , we could use a system where Pi seemed perfectly natural and could even be considered as just one unit and written as 1. However, that would make some other numbers seem strange or "irrational", so we'd just be moving the problem somewhere else.
I can reference the Inherited Hydrogen atom (at the base of a 118-occurrence inheritance chain) as Proton (0)....and you will get a wrong answer because you have ignored some very basic (primary school) physics.
@Jimbee 's question is harder because they allow more complicated things to still be considered as "some pattern".The essence of a pattern is that, by examining a sufficient sample of prior events, you can predict the next one. You can't do this with the digits of π.
theory that everything in reality is a type of Hydrogen atom.I just came across this nugget of drivel.

You Don't Know What a Warcrime Actually IsA war crime is anything defined as a crime by the Geneva Convention. Or, nowadays, anything the State of Israel does to defend itself.
If there is only one individual human exists in the whole world, the natural resources per capita will be the highest. But is it sustainable?For the lifetime of that human, yes. But if you want the species to survive you need a mummy and a daddy. And if you want to avoid the dangers of inbreeding, you need lots of mummies and daddies.
But in the next decades there will be less working fraction.Not true for the first 100 years. Try doing the maths (it's easy with a spreadsheet). When the population has reached the desired level, you return to 2.4 children per female or whatever is then the replacement rate, and enjoy the advantages of indefinite sustainabilty at several times the original standard of living.
When the previously productive people get older, they need to be replaced by the younger generation.But as there are now fewer people under 20, there is less burden on the working fraction.
