I can envision a world without war. I can also envision us taking over that world because they would never see it coming.

Will someone please tell me why americans use the word 'envision' instead of envisage? Don't know why but it annoys me so much.

We just do it because we know it annoys you.

Off topic a bit, I found this this morning and thought it was pretty cool.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I remain.

Great video.

Speaking personally, I hope we can unite with them and evolve into yet more advanced life forms.

Eh? Our own nature doesn't even allow us to unite among ourselves. Don't see it changing at all.

The man who discovered this planet has nicknamed it 'Zarmina' after his wife.

Just what do you mean by advanced? The trousered ape hasn't advanced one microscopic atom since he climbed down from the hills of the African Savannah. Say that in the company of a congregation of learned rats and they will break out in epileptic fits of laughter. The entire history of man is chiefly the record of armed bands of men poking each other with sharp objects and mounting each other's livestock after which the victors drink Bacardi Breezer and Brandy and tell themselves how glorious and sweet it was.

True enough, primitive man plundered, tortured, and made raids on his neighbour with nary a thought in a state of abject barbarism. We have improved. By dropping daisy-cutters on each other. As of this writing, Precedent Obomber is unleashing the terrors of the earth on the towelheads of Afghanistan to universal applause, exposing us for the knuckle-dragging neanderthals that we still are for our colossal failure to abolish the institution of war after so long a time. Time was when savages butchered each other with primitive implements. Modern man pursues the same end with fighter jets that strip the whole enterprise of its age old fun and personal touch. Why the elaborate war machine? Better the extinction game is played with a bow and arrow. It is more leisurely, more democratic and lets all God's chillun participate.

From his slow arduous climb out of the primordial soup man has made zero moral progress. Not one iota. Don’t misunderstand. I believe that men should kill each other en masse with great abundance and gusto. I recommend it. But let him desist from extolling himself above the brute beast. It is a libel against the animal kingdom. When was the last time a bison was spotted holding up a bank? A camel? Show me the pictures, or stop putting others down. Progress? Bosh!

+1. i think war, nationalism and religion are 3 of the most stupid ideas which are considered ok by modern moral standards. i hope for a day when they'll be seen for what they are in the rear view mirror of human history.

I posted a link above, they are called extremophiles.

I love extromophiles

To summarise, all life on earth gets in energy from photosynthesis (sun & chrolophyll gives energy) .

Its a recycling merry-go-round, even carnivores who dont eat grass & leaves, get it indirectly by eating herbivores, who get it from eating greens.

Because deep sea critters dont get light at those depths, they apparently get energy by digesting certain chemical elements. Question is how?

Don't conscript my scribblings for your effeminate ends. I support destructive wars. 'Tis meritorious. I'm persuaded that any man so enstupidated as to lend credence to the cheerleaders of war is quite unfit to propogate his genes.

I remember a documentary about a very deep sea sub which discovered life on volcanic vents. Instead of getting their energy from the Sun they got it from down there in the total darkness, which I think is one reason people believe Titan might have life beneath its thick ice crust. Not sure if they depend on dead stuff dropping down from higher up or not though, I don't know enough about them.

I don't come here any more due to unfair moderation.

True. And as Mount A Bison wrote we have a long way to go as a civilisation. We still have too many us-versus-them tribal instincts within us, unfortunately.
