Yet some gamblers do manage to make a living doing what they do, balancing losses and gains, never becoming filthy rich, but not becoming destitute either. That must take great strength of mind though, a strength we, as a race probably don't possess. But humans could at least aim for it.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-50134861239890569792009-10-01T03:26:08.105-05:002009-10-01T03:26:08.105-05:00My interest in Ufology brought me to a definite an...My interest in Ufology brought me to a definite answer on our wars and tech. In asking what any aliens would be like who visited us, I came to the conclusion they would be benevolent. This is because they would have had to pass the planetary test - that in developing tech so powerful that they could wipe themselves out, they would either fail and do so, or come to terms with themselves and thrive in the universe.<br /> I suspect we're approaching the test.anthonynorthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06680944720744601697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-71214652731767690572009-09-30T20:00:35.927-05:002009-09-30T20:00:35.927-05:00I think our little solar system could stand annihi...I think our little solar system could stand annihilation without it disturbing the rest of the universe one iota. If, as Darwin suggested, we're the fruit of evolution, then there is little hope for us. Greed is good for evolution, but bad for the human race. To suggest any supreme beings might be interested in us - even as an experiment - is to grant ourselves way too much importance.<br />We will, without doubt, exterminate ourselves eventually, or at least impoverish our race to such a degree it'll mean a return to Neolithic conditions for those who survive. More likely, our irrational desire for a personal brand of divine immortality will destroy the planet utterly, and the human race with it. No-one 'out there' will shed a tear when we do. Such is the vastness of space, it's probably a constant happening.<br />Oh, and while gamblers do occasionally win, over the course of time they always, always, lose.R J Adamshttp://sparrowchat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-88166002499381868882009-09-29T18:53:45.243-05:002009-09-29T18:53:45.243-05:00WWW ~~~ Sure thing - a blip on then a blip off, th...WWW ~~~ Sure thing - a blip on then a blip off, then flatlining for a while before the next round begins.<br /><br />I doubt we're an experiment, but if we are, and a failed one, then why didn't the experimenter(s) close us down before we can do untold damage not only to ourselves but to the solar system and beyond?<br />May be they will.....maybe at present we're a source of amusement. ;-)Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-57240575268422049912009-09-29T12:19:59.250-05:002009-09-29T12:19:59.250-05:00Highly thought provoking, T.

I read a book called "The World Without Us" which was fascinating. Are we a failed experiment? <br />Perhaps.<br />XO<br />WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.com
