Dear All&One, Dear Dave&David, thanks a lot for your suggestion about taking into account the hypothesis of Mr.R.Kurzweil about human evolution pace and his...
Thanks for your image, Rudolf. It has been my experience too that Kurzweil's visions of the future remind me of Teilhard's projections. To my knowledge...
What drives us people? In order to understand the point of life (or death), there must be a clear understanding of what life is. Many of our science...
I'm glad that you found Kurzweil's speculation to be of interest. Thanks for sharing your imaginings and for reminding us of you evolution map. Dave W ... ...
Not quite a quantum leap, perhaps, but very dangerous nevertheless. Should be compulsory viewing in every school...... http://www.storyofstuff.com Jelke. ...
Thanks Jelke, this is great stuff. I had seen this before and then lost track of where it was, you've helped my relocate it. I recently read the book "Natural...
Hello everyone, This is part 1 of 3. I now find myself at Section 1 of Chapter I of Part III of 'The Human Phenomenon'. This section deals with what Teilhard ...
This is part 2 of 3. Before the dawn of reflection, the Jesuit scientist opines, the mental life of the typical animal produced a kind of knowledge that was...
This is part 3 of 3. What are some of the internal constructions, which form part of our human reality, and which lie on the side of a threshold that the...
Hi Dave, You seem to be well informed about this stuff. And I agree that things won't change much until Big Business gets into the act. And the only way they...
Just to keep the discussion diverse, here's notice that this Teilhard student thinks that the best thing we can do to advance good things on earth is to...
Hello David, I can' understand why anyone would make a statement like you have just made. Below is a link to an article from Scientific American that takes a ...
Hi Raymond, David & All, I too was having difficulty understanding David's comments. I don't think a carbon tax is necessary and don't actively promote one...
Hello Raymond and David, Sorry if I was unclear, and thanks for the replies. My point was half David's (as he summarizes the book Natural Capitalism in his...
Hi David, It's nice to be optimistic but aren't you contradicting yourself a bit? On the one hand you say 'not to worry' because human ingenuity will solve all...
Jelke, Liz's post makes my point. It is precisely NOT "this worry" that makes ingenuity work. The worriers and the ingenious ones don't tend to be the same...
Hello, Thank you David W for filling in the gaps in my email. Yes the link you inserted was the one I wanted to reference. Just a general comment if I may. I...
Hi David, I didn't say that the worriers and the ingenious ones are the same people. Only that, as in all business, the 'demands' of the public determine what...
http://www.livescience.com/environment/080219-kurzweil-solar.html I don't really know how to think about warnings about the climate over the next 80 years...
Thank you Elizabeth, for pointing out that there are multiple solutions to our problems. I had heard of using algae to create energy, but hadn't heard that it...
The nice thing about biodiesel from any source including algae is, it is pretty carbon neutral. The plants use carbon to make the stuff and then release it...
Hi Brian, There is an old saying: ' Natura non facet saltum' (Nature does not make jumps) though it often seems that way. Take a pail of snow (not too hard to...
Very appropriate, you've brought us back to Kurzweil who was an earlier part of this conversation. I'm convinced that Kurzweil is right about solar energy. The...
Perhaps many don't realize that less that 10% of corn produced in the United States is used for human consumption. Most is used for cattle feed. If you use the...
SOME of what is left of the corn after it is made into fuel can be used for feeding cattle, but a lot of that energy goes into the fuel. There is not any where...
Regret your generalities corn cattle feed are not factual. Larry ... From: Liz Hensley To: teilhard@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, March 10, 2008 10:11 AM ...
