You know how you see anti-bullying public service announcements all the time now?  Well, small animals from cats to dogs and anything else tend to beat the hell out of each other.  It's a natural selection process to determine which genes spread and which don't, something that will never go away.

Humans happen to be animals, and the human social structure consists of:  

Individual > family > tribe or village > city state based on the same ethnocentric majority > affiliation of those city states to form a nation

Since we live on a rock with finite resources and finite space, the so called "bullying" extends past the adolescent stage all the way up to city states and nations in the form of war.  The main purpose of war is for groups sharing common genetic ancestry to compete against different groups and determine which ones will occupy this finite space and resources in the future.  This has gone on for thousands of years all across Europe.

The tragedy is not war itself, it's when the war movement is hijacked for something else besides the natural selection process for which it's intended.  "TPTB" do not use war for natural selection, they push Marxism, which is the antithesis of evolution and natural selection, while still participating in acts of war that serve no purpose besides maybe short term financial gain.

I'll join in here  Wink

That's not WHY....but rather, the obvious outcome.

Who is to say how humanity should evolve?  We have the technology to circumvent the trials and errors (so to speak) of natural selection with our knowledge of genetics and modification...but if we began artificially enhancing & perfecting everyone's genetic makeup, I'm sure the major pharmaceutical and insurance industries would have quite the hissy fit, to say the least...!  Grin


In my opinion, war is just a method to control most, and gain profit for few.  If humanity could unite under a central 'government' (I don't know what to call it without evoking images of 'New World Order' conspiracies) and channel the money (used for war and other bullshit) into a massive space colonization program, maybe then we could truly evolve.  Harvesting resources from asteroids, living in space stations or surface colonies; we would finally have a 'backup plan' in the event of a catastrophe occurring on Earth (it's going to happen one day, but who the hell knows when or how), and solve the burdens of pollution, overpopulation, and conflict over resources (although conflict is bound to happen in space because humans suck).

My vote goes towards the production and colonization of either O'neill Cylinders (img) (img) or the Stanford Torus (img) (img)

908  Other / Off-topic / Re: Scientific proof that God exists? on: August 26, 2015, 05:13:13 PM
God exists. Science proves it with 3 simple science laws.

1. Cause and effect exists within everything. There is no evidence that pure random exists. Newton made it into his 3rd law.

2. There is great complexity in the universe. The brain and mind of man is exceedingly complex. Yet there is no clear evidence of where the complexity comes from.

3. In everything we see entropy - the wearing out, tearing down, eroding, dying. Even the things that we see that are new and fresh, gain their newness at the expense of some other things that lose even more. In fact, if the universe were eternal, it would have worn down to a blah-blah equilibrium long ago.

The only way we can put this universe together in the light of the above three laws is that the universe was set in place by Something that is extremely intelligent beyond the understanding of mankind. Something like that fits the dictionary definition of "God."

----------

Religion is simply the attempt to find out what God and/or this complex universe are all about.

----------

"God" is scientific fact.

"Religion" needs to be taken on faith.

Smiley

You just took three mysteries of the universe, and made up the cause of it all. None of those three 'laws' (which aren't really) imply any sort of greater power or 'god'

Regardless -  the mere fact we can create worlds in videogames, and 'create' (support really) life in petri dishes - who's to say we aren't the ones being programmed?

so all i have to do now is to download the swiftkey keyboard?

Yes, please download swiftkey keyboard and update if it works.

done! and it works!

I've been using SwiftKey for years now - is it free, or did you pay $1? Just curious since I can't see the price of apps I've installed/bought already.

SwiftKey is my favorite - lots of customization & awesome prediction capabilities.

....but still, I wonder why this keyboard works best with getgems

How old are you? Are you fat? Are you short? What are your dietary habits?  What do you eat?  What do you drink?  Describe yourself.  Describe yourself.  Describe yourself.  Tell me more. How can I appeal to you?

Nobody else notices...?

The second I read poring, I could hear their 'boing boings' ..... oh man the nostalgia ;____;

you can earn much more in other campaign on your current rank which also has an automated bot and not that strict in rules like Yobit

Wait - what's this 'other campaign' you speak of? I can't find any that are open while paying up to par with YoBit.  Sure, the constant freezes with payouts suck, and their website's signature page links to the wrong thread, but this campaign is super easy  Wink

What do you receive in return for Bitcoin donations? In-game gear? Boosts? Or is it a monthly sub for a private server?
