I read oldnitro, I think is was. Old Nit…about has it.
We are the most advanced species on the planet. I believe it was Carl Sagan who said, we humans can not only contemplate the universe; se can contemplate our place in it”.
It might have Isaac Asimov, he was one of the truly most intelligent humans so far.
Each modern human has a modern brain, one with a frontal lobe or Neocortex. Do most humans make use of this amazing instrument? Of course not! Most humans are quite comfortable with being spoon fed poppycock which they then glom onto without hesitation and defend these misconceptions with anger and even violence.
The rare few, however, do use the Neocortex, politicians and preachers, of course, excepted. It is the few which are responsible for intellectual advancement and the evolution of our species.
All it will take for our extinction is to allow a few Reptilian/brain humans access to deadly instruments or pathogens and voila, extinction, probably in the name of some imaginary deity.
A SMART WOMAN ONCE ENTONED: “When we find that our god hates the very same people we do, we may rest assured that we have created god in our own image”.
The human brain comes in three segments, the R-Network, the Limbic and the frontal lobe or Neocortex. Some people still utilize the oldest part of our brain for decision making. We find them in religion and politics. Listen carefully to a republican House member and witness the R Network at work. A version of the Reptile brain is found in fish, dinosaurs, early reptiles and birds and, of course, politicians and preachers. There are, o course, a hand full of intelligent politicians and preachers but both groups must trod lightly in society least they be discovered and annihilated.
