Misson Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Ah, so you get it, Phil. "Natural" and "un-natural" are just labels we create. Nothing we currently have can be inherently unnatural. What interests me is...what will come next? What is so far outside of our limited awareness that we cannot understand it? (Besides particle physics, consciousness and the motivation behind spammers who put no links in their posts?) What form will the next iteration of earth-based lifeforms take? (We arrogantly assume it will be something of a "lesser being" than us like cockroaches. I credit our limited awareness and sad capacity for imagination.) Another thing that gets me grinning is the folks who do a little bit of going green. Kinda like ALMOST quitting smoking. The only effective way to go completely green is to kill yourself. Then you leave no carbon footprint. Oh, wait, you leave your remains which impact the earth. It appears it is impossible to go completely green.
