Not to mention those that think they think for themselves and those that think they are doing the thinking for others.
Not to mention those that think they think for themselves and those that think they are doing the thinking for others.That said, I'm sure we are all influenced by society to an extent, just that some of us think for ourselves, some don't think, and some think for those who don't!
Totally agree actually .
Most of the people that are in this forum are of high intelligence and show there free thinking and individual thought out opinions................Unlike 90% of the population which is happy to be fed whatever tastes best at the time.
Happy mate.There is additional gagging dimension > moderators < and irrespectively of what you think it will be removed. So we have to post what is acceptable to owner.
Most of the times there is no collision, but some subjects seem to be too hot to handle.
Reminds me our Government leaders, too difficult?
Head in sand, it might go away.
Yes the planet has become more supportive of life and indeed life has made the planet more supportive. One organic feeding on another organic works fine and with a biological clock installed in every organic then the life cycle repeats until food or environment become non-existent or cell death is complete.What's more, as biologists, we do not presuppose that life begun with a non-complex cell, nor with one solitary fragment with the ability of copying itself, but numerous self replicating molecules surrounded by enough food to sustain them in an uninterrupted self replication.
Our microbial brothers and sisters must be envious of the rapid pace our species has increased intelligence. What's that? Only one species can develop intelligence! Hmmm, very suspicious I think.Some four billion years ago, the Earth had an atmosphere saturated with toxic gases (acetylene, ethane, methane, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, etc.) and it lacked oxygen. It had a vast amount of water vapor. The atmospheric heat was intense and the Earth was agitated by violent volcanic eruptions.
Our Moon would be seen four times larger than at present day, the giant exterior planets and our moon acted like protective screens against the meteorites (recent reports upon the date of the earliest meteorite bombardment against the system Earth-Moon reveal that it took place 3.9 billion years ago. Life appeared on Earth one hundred million years after), and the Sun shone dimly. In the tepid water of the oceans the organic compounds were dissolved, forming a "nutritious soup".
Something has to be first.Our microbial brothers and sisters must be envious of the rapid pace our species has increased intelligence. What's that? Only one species can develop intelligence! Hmmm, very suspicious I think.
Even amongst our own species we have historically done a fairly good job of killing each other based on differences in race and religion.

Apparently quite true. A particular example is the Okinawans of Japan who consume considerably fewer calories than the average person. They live much longer and are more healthy.And now we don't even have to do that. We are killing ourselves by overeating.
The thin will inherit the earth.
"I heard one person starve I heard many people laughing"And now we don't even have to do that. We are killing ourselves by overeating.

Yes fascinating stuff, Dan Buettner talks about them and other pockets of long lived humans around the globe in a TED lecture. I'm sure this was posted up here somewhere before but here it is again:Are these the people who live in the mountains (away from all of the polution) consuming mainly rice, vegetables and soup and within their communities they have an extremely high life expectancy?Julia said:Apparently quite true.

Believe what you want, but don't push it on me
to all intents and purposes, these "superior beings" might then well enough be labelled with the four-letter term "G-O-D-S".not a God but maby some form of superior beings...
