| A System can only be described as living if it has: ...the ability to reproduce and mutate.- a Quote. | |||||||||||
| origins: ..a few thousand million years ago...this planet was unlivable for us..a big chemical stew.. gradually becoming more and more complex,..after ages of coacervation ,formation of proteins and eventually RNA and DNA, forerunners, droplets which ,in time,were able to photosynthesize..in time oxygen started an atmosphere ! and the debate starts about this time...some kind of amoeba or flower or mould becomes a living thing! something crawls out of the mud. ..and then.. Intelligence comes into play...At what point did we become intelligent? some say humans ,facing a foe together,the legendary beast,had to team up ,communicate, use tools ,all acts of greater intelligence,so they say,in order to survive... however this is speculation...actually most tribe's languages describe the local flora and fauna, herbalists and naturalists gardeners... | |||||||||||
| some say song was the first form of communication... but when do we evolve into concious beings,with intelligence?(This links to a review of Bruce Chatwin's SONGLINES -which covers some of these evolutionary problems,like the evolution of language, absorbingly.(thanks ma) | |||||||||||
| obviously science is still in its infancy.. but not the study of reason,(philosophers,budhists,etc,)of awareness(yogis,shamans),of song ,dance art or nature study.. | |||||||||||
| humans- Have some evolved faster? if there ever was a genius,or a saint, then we must all have that potential . ( how long will the budhas sleep?) | |||||||||||
| I remember a long after party conversation(hi Vince!) which, after finding nothing to be optimistic about I managed to persuade,it semed at the time,old Vinnie that if we only use 2% of our brains then a chicken,using 100% ,could have the same mental capacity as a human(dim wit), but perhaps enough to be able to solve this worlds problems!!!(theres hope !:) | |||||||||||
