Are We Evolving Into A Different Species?

I did a quick skim of that video.

Looks great.

I look forward to being able to watch the whole thing at my leisure suit.

If thine right penis offends thee, etc.

Jose.

Dust Bunny Queen said...

Well, that certainly isn't going to help him get any better in bed is it?

Eric the Fruit Bat said...

That guy must be sick in the head.

I mean, I got dumped by lots of women for being bad in bed and me and the tiny, little appendage remain fast friends.

Eric the Fruit Bat said...

Maybe it's just that nobody ever explained to the poor guy that the female orgasm is a myth.

If God had intended men to please women sexually, he wouldn't have given us superior earning potential.

Women always say they love the guy who makes them laugh. Well, wouldn't a small penis be a plus in that regard?

Eric the Fruit Bat said...

Or have invented lesbians.

These Deep Think TEDS things are impossible for me to sit through.

If it's like the others, the 17 minutes could be compressed down to 6 Powerpoint slides.

I think it was pretty cruel to sew it back on. It was deeply unsatisfying before, and I doubt this trauma will make it work any better. On the other hand, there maybe some temporary swelling he could use to his advantage, and now he's also famous, so call her back up, dude - you've got it going on now.

What a satisfying explanation!

Here's a complete picture of the universe some 14 point odd years ago, all energy is concentrated into a single point of energy for some reason it explodes and you begin to get these things..."

Then Carl Sagan, with a bug up his butt about religion, and his shadows, his acolytes Neil deGrasse Tyson with Sagan's bug up his butt hasten to suggest that since Christians seeing the universe as clockwork (eh?) causes them to suggest a clockmaker.

Tell me more about that dot. How did it come into being? What came before the dot? Why did energy dot explode? How can the universe fit into a dot? I'm sort of stuck on the dot existing containing all energy, all future matter, then exploding and this idea arising from your very simple observation the universe is expanding.

Have you considered peak expansion followed by contraction followed by expansion? Have you considered space respiration? Have you imagined a flow of energy between pervaded and un-pervaded space? Un-pervaded space, a place, a location where pure energy exists completely free of the material form of energy that studs pervaded space.

I must say, this energy dot that exists before time, 14 point something billion years on your scale, sounds to me like a matter of faith. The exact same faith that is disparaged by the likes of Sagan and his lesser shadow Tyson.

That's pretty much why I consider myself an agnostic, Chip.

Something created all of this, but nobody has the slightest idea what it was or what it wants, if anything at all.

My leading theory is that the Universe is some kind of farm or factory or laboratory Petri dish or something like that.

I have absolutely zero evidence to back that up, I should hasten to add.

Chip, Eric/

Some have postulated that we (and the entire universe) are but the software in somebody else's hardware..

The Dude said...

Aw, Chip, you got me - you wrote 14 years ago and I thought - dang, I was around then and I think I would have remembered that whole deal.

But 14 billion - nah, before my time.
