Who really believes....

The 'make a donation' thing kinda put me off....

 

Darlin, you're worth a whole Texas to me.....

Now thats shameless flirting...See ?

 

............. and i feel fine....

 

If we're looking at the highlights of human development, you have to look at the evolution of the organism, and then at the development of its interaction with the environment. Evolution of the organism will begin with the evolution of live ... percieved through the homonid .... coming to the evolution of mankind. Neanderthal, Cro-Magnon man.

Now, interestingly, what you're looking at here are three strings: biological, anthropological - development of the cities, cultures - and cultural, which is human expression. Now, what you've seen here is the evolution of populations, not so much the evolution of individuals. And in addition, if you look at the time scales that are involved here -- 2,000,000,000 years for life, 6,000,000 years for the homonid, 100,000 years for mankind as we know it - you're beginning to see the telescoping nature of the evolutionary paradigm. And then when you get to agricultural, when you get to scientific revolution and industrial revolution, you're looking at 10,000 years, 400 years, 150 years. You're seeing a further telescoping of this evolutionary time. What that means is that as we go through this new evolution, it's gonna telescope to the point we should be able to see it manifest itself ... within our lifetime, within this generation.

The new evolution stems from information, and it stems from two types of information: digital and analog. The digital is artificial intelligence. The analog results from molecular biology, the cloning of the organism. And you knit the two together with neurobiology.

Before on the old evolutionary paradigm, one would die and the other would grow and dominate. But under the new paradigm, they would exist ... as a mutually supportive, noncompetitive grouping. Independent from the external. Annd what is interesting here is that evolution now becomes an individually centered process, emanating from the needs and the desires of the individual, and not an external process, a passive process ... where the individual is just at the whim of the collective. So, you produce a neo-human with a new individuality and a new consciousness.

But that's only the beginning of the evolutionary cycle ... because as the next cycle proceeds, the input is now the new intelligence. As intelligence piles on intelligence, as ability piles on ability, the speed changes. Until what? Until you reach a crescendo in a way ... could be imagined as an enormous instantaneous fulfillment of human, human and neo-human potential. It could be something totally different. It could be the amplification of the individual, the multiplication of individual existences. Parallel existences now with the individual no longer restricted by time and space.

And the manifestations of this neo-human-type evolution, manifestations could be dramatically counter-intuitive. That's the interesting part. The old evolution is cold. It's sterile. It's efficient, okay? And its manifestations are those social adaptations. You're talking about parasitism, dominance, morality, okay? War, predation, these would be subject to de-emphasis. These would be subject to de-evolution. The new evolutionary paradigm will give us the human traits of truth, of loyalty, of justive, of freedom. These will be the manifestations of the new evolution. That is what we would hope to see from this. That would be nice.

 

I like you Piaf.

 

Wow I'm having a deja vu
You said the exact same thing when I was using my old username....

 

what was your old username?

 

Cant tell you. Sorry.

 

I have good taste. I thought that was you. Not enough Balkan ladies around.

 

Honey, you have great taste.
Am I that obvious ?
And we prefer the term South Europe....its more sophisticated.

 

Nah, not that obvious. I'm just perceptive.

And whatever you want.

 

We will all know for sure when the time comes.

Until then, no use in stressing out over it.

 

I don't belive the world will ever end, even if life as we know it ceases to exist. Life will always recreate itself. It's nothing that we need to worry about in this lifetime. Even if it did happen, we can't exactly stop it, so worrying is only going to keep us from being happy now.

just like the bible, its not meant to be taken...LITERALLY...k

 

Cate, go on a date with me before 2012. In case the world does end, I want to have spent some time with you.

 

shit dude, Jesus never even said he was the son of god.

the son of god? That doesn't even make sense except metaphorically

 

please, I can see the inevitable brewing, hurry up and do this

 

I'm in the school that Jesus was more of a compilation of beliefs rather then a person like you or me.

Or me at least. For all I know you might be an internet virus Gary.

 

I of course, accept lode
