|  Bijou242 | May 8, 5:16am | | It may continue - but it won't be the human race as we know it today.B* |
|
| | | InadvertentlyMe | May 8, 6:21am | | That's called evolution... |

|
| | Bijou242 | May 8, 7:55am | | So instead of people worrying whether humans are evolving faster,let nature take it's course. B* |

I'd encourage people to click that link. Not because it will inform your thinking in a broader way. Because it will inform you on how to view THIS debate. |

| | Sangfraud | May 12, 11:04pm | | Yes TJ wants a Utopia. He has an idea. What is your idea? |
|
| | | InadvertentlyMe | May 13, 4:23am | I proposed one in that thread.
MJ-Brutus said it best when illustrating that there can be no Utopia. A point others fleshed out as the thread progressed.
My opinion, started here, and explained more fully here, is that THIS is Utopia. This. Now.
There is no other way to ensure that we ALL have certain basic rights. Each step along the way of making things safer will remove rights from others. It's messy. Imperfect. And no one seems to think of it as Utopia, but how else to ensure that you, I, and TJ all have the ability to act on our rights?
There are things about reality I would change. Chief among them I'd like more people to take a much more practical look at how they can affect and improve the human condition. In the end, I wouldn't force people to think that way - I'd only wish they would.
Organ harvesting... ain't it. Ya know?
It's all right there in the other thread - it is a bit of reading though.
Please don't imply that I am somehow being lazy, suspect, or trollish (if you are). Just because I contradict, what I think to be, fallacious arguments and immoral ones, does not mean I am unwilling to put forth an idea. Much as I did here - the idea is let-the-process-work. We don't need to play god. |

|  LeuMasT | Jun 11, 6:11pm | | I understand the concept of genetic change occurring at different rates depending on nature, but is it really fair of them to call that necessarily the rate of evolution? There's no set amount of progress that occurs between changes in the code, as what results of it is so incredibly volatile, often with nothing noticeable happening at all. There are some good ideas here and the study is interesting, but I don't know if it's fair of them to conclude as they did. |
