We evolved from a great ape, now what?

[FuzzyLumpkins]

You are over thinking such a simple question. Ok - let me dumb it down a little for you - subs ute -"think" for illusion...

Do you think that your insults....are NOT making you look stupid?

There you go - easier?

I think the backpedaling and subsequent wording you did there makes you look stupid. That help?

[silverblk mystix]

Do you even read the you type? You whine about "Fuzzy's insults" in your first sentence and then call everyone "morons" in the very next sentence

Well, you don't even know the context of this little deal - here you go;

Fuzzy insulted another poster (not me) and was very condescending to that poster -

While he was being a condescending prick - he also called that poster - "stupid"

So I asked him a serious question---


Anything simpler than that?

Someone with any kind of honesty or dignity - would have just answered;

Yeah, you are right - I did resort to name calling and condescension and it probably didn't make me appear smart.

That would be an honest and dignified response.

Answer that question for yourself.

Be honest and dignified about it.

Seriously.

Well, don't I have you in a little tizzy...

He'll say he wasn't serious.

You are flattering yourself - I am having fun with you girls.

So you weren't serious?

brain size has decreased since it reached its apex because we have essentially domesticated ourselves.

however, brain size is starting to increase again since colonial times presumably in response to complicated technology.

C'mon, fuzzy, the pissing contests will get you nowhere, dude. I was hoping you were coming back to add to the discussion if you remember, because I thought you had some great posts, but all this is doing is demeaning yourself.
Remember too, these are opinions, not facts.
Just saying we could use some of your wisdom, not your ridicule.

You think your moralism is meaningful to me? It's like you are saying, "Fuzzy please mock me."

[xmas1997]

No, you misunderstand me, I was not ridiculing you, not even lecturing you either.
I sincerely enjoyed your posts a few days ago.
My hope was that you would return to that.
That galvan guy is the one IMHO who is egging this contentiousness on, especially in the other thread.
I'm sorry if you feel I was sticking my nose where it does not belong.
But I've read some utterly fantastic and insightful posts from you, and was hoping to get more of that.
So fuzzy, please, do NOT mock me, ok?
And please stop letting SBM get under your skin too. He has some decent things to say dispite whatever happened in the past.
Geez, so does chump.
Now having said all that, is it time to bash Xmas now?

humans are just animals at a very basic level because we're still doing things like all animals do. you need to eat and drink to survive, as well as other things that are unnecessary for the support of life (like sex). If humans didn't evolve from animals, but instead were created by God and sent down as a gift to this planet, then why the are humans ing like dogs and most other animals do? You have no right to differentiate yourself from an animal when you're exactly behaving like one, imho.

Rogue has the bragging right over the vast majority of world's human population though. I never do such animal stuffs, I've imagined those s and written them in my novels but those erotic s delivered no fun to me tbh.

[TDMVPDPOY]

the future to evolution is either genetic modified born humans or selective breeding where the strong and smartest get together...

but then again if there was no dumb s, then there wont be people to do the ty jobs the smart people dont wanna do...

Don't know if you meant this to be satire but it sure sounds that way.

tbh i still feel that with societal constraints, the whole selective breeding thing will produce more inbreds and the lower classes who are freed by society to breed will come out genetically strongest and take over.

iirc from my astronomy classes, when a star collapses and forms a black hole, it creates an alternate universe on the other side so to speak. think of it as pulling together matter and energy and shotgunning it through the other side.


quantum mechanics is finally being revisited after einstein failed to decipher them. it should be interesting to hear what physicists have to say about it in the next few years.

[xmas1997]

We are making huge leaps in our understanding of the universe. Einstein unfortunately was a media tool for the most part. It does not surprise me he could not decipher quantum mechanics. His theories were a conglomeration of others before him, but he had his place.
I have actually payed more attention to Tesla from a practical point of view especially after reading about his disagreements with Edison who had employed him for a while and consequently stole some of his ideas, AC versus DC currents.
I wish there was more literature about Tesla, I would devour it.
