Love is simply an early (Not the earliest) mechanism of creating copies of DNA, I value more modern innovations in behavior and brains (Cerebral Cortex and its mammalian foundation, possibly even the R-Complex when its useful.) Please explain how love and education relate. The two relate very littl...

This subject has always intrigued me, (As I know for a fact that it has intrigued most everyone else here) why are people attracted to shiny things? If I may offer a personal opinion, I believe barracudas (Predatory fish) are attracted to shiny objects, thus exemplifying the idea that the attraction...

Those fears can be simplified: Fright triggered by negative stimuli of any kind.

The existence of fate and destiny are all up to the perceptions of the individual, one can view a strange occurrence as the actions of a mysterious, all controlling being, or perhaps running according to some ultimate plan, or perhaps simply as something that inevitable or at least likely to happen ...

No logic for the universe to exist? Perhaps it is a question of knowledge, not logic. We don't know how the universe began, some people say that it never began, some say that it was created, but we don't really know. Logic is (in one description) the human explanation for the occurrences of the know...

What are the basic necessities that you need in order to be happy?

'Soul', in my opinion, is simply a reference for the overall function of the mind, an overview of the nature of an individual (Bad person,therefore bad mind, which is considered a bad soul), or (from another person's point of view) the mind's benevolent side, hence the idea that a person with an uns...

Arthur C. Clarke, a master of the genre.

By behavior I mean countenance, the way you generally act.

Have you noticed that when a person decides that he/she is going to think 'Outside the Box' and embrace a new ideology or specific belief, they are really trapping themselves in yet another box? That they are fooling themselves into thinking that they are an enlightened, wise individual when they ar...

Has anybody ever responded to you in a negative or aggressive manner due to your intellectual behavior?

Who in history do you see yourself similar to? Who is the person you admire and wish to emulate the most?

Could it be yourself?

At 120 m/h it would take 1/3 of an hour to reach the destination, 20 minutes.

The illogical conclusion that you can get to places instantaneously at 120 miles per hour is laughable.

People exaggerate all the time, don't they? "And he called me like a million times!" "They won't get the job done in eons!" But of course this constant exaggeration inhibits the flow of true information, and turns rational conversations into jokes. I don't believe that this could...

It means that the vast majority, nay, the entirety established theories and ideologies have anomalies and instabilities that need to be addressed.

That is an interesting analogy, and it may be very useful to think of ideologies as a garden to tend and to weed of fallacies and nonsense.

The human mind, whilst being based on simple stimuli response and basic cognition, has grown into an infinitely engrossing organ far surpassing anything similar to it. Conscious Thought is the ultimate power on the planet, to dispute the significance of humanity's innovations is to be disputable, at...

General Relativity brought numerous common assumptions crashing down into the pit of falsehood, thoughts that surpassed general logic.

Without that theory modern physics would not exist.

Emotions often cloud clear judgement. People may believe they are helping the world when they are merely fulfilling a personal grudge, an example being political idealists. People may claim to be eliminating a great evil when they are merely attacking something innocent for need of a punching bag to...
