You're the one who dragged it to that Isaac Send a noteboard - 23/08/2011 08:10:03 PM
Don't complain things turn partisan when you habitually turn every conversation into proclamations about how right your view of the world is and people object to your assertions. Remember, this thread fundamentally was about an article written by someone who thinks aliens will exterminate us for not being green enough, which I called hogwash, in our various back and forths nothing you've said contradicted that and boil down entirely to episode 6110 of "Joel Rants" which are always about how screwed up the system is while making snide remarks at those who don't agree the system is as screwed up as you think or necessarily in the way you think. You're the one who made this political. In point of fact, I'm pretty sure I've never started a political argument on this site, certainly it's a rarity, alternatively you do it all the time. So if we've gotten to that point again it is not of my doing.
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

It's still debatable whether we've abandoned the evolutionary ladder. - 19/08/2011 11:16:58 PM 592 Views
You'll welcome to debate that with a biologist, it's not my specialty or interest - 20/08/2011 04:46:43 AM 546 Views
I've seen a lot of mainstream biologists suggest human evolution may be mostly mental now. - 21/08/2011 11:32:48 AM 562 Views
Neither of us are biologists though and it's not really relveant anyway - 21/08/2011 01:21:06 PM 507 Views
