Please note:

...From the argument of physics, the above formula dictates that in nature, homosexuality is illegal under the terms of entropy, since procreation (the essential purpose of life) is impossible, thus entropy measured as energy loss is not supported on behalf of nature as the plan dictates!

Poirot, all of the best efforts to construct an overlying purpose to life have failed, it seems to me. They are at best speculations, at worst straight-out bullsh!t.

And the very worst of man's inhumanity to man has come out of such speculations.

Hell, Antiseptic, and here I was led to believe religion and belief in God was the universally accepted cause of all the worlds grief!

Poirot, here's an interesting take on things from Stephen Matchett

http://blogs.theaustralian.news.com.au/thecommonroom/index.php/theaustralian/comments/when_do_students_start_thinking

"Neuroscientists (well the bloke who wrote the book I read on this and the three I have interviewed for stories ) say that our brains have a mind of their own and that we are hard wired to pursue what was in demand for almost all of human history, (safety, meat and nice warm cave).

So whatever age we study at we are only using the bit of our brain which isn’t focused on the important stuff, like where the sabre tooth tigers are hiding. "

The meaning of life? Sounds positively lichenesque, in a human sort of way.

Anti,

Very good point (and your word "lichenesque" is superb!)

Civilisation (as we know it) is really only the blink of an eye in evolutionary terms, so it's not surprising that that would be the case. Our ability to adapt is something that we tend to gloss over and take for granted. Look how the world has changed even in only the last hundred years for people in developed countries. However, our modern lifestyle tends to erase the conscious connections in our psyche, like a net curtain, our true instincts are veiled from us.

Actually language is going strong in most humans by age three. apparently we're hardwired for that as well. Infants master incredible feats in this area. The "grammar of language" seems to be instinctive in all human societies. Steven Pinker, in his book "The Language Instinct" says that while there are stone-age tribes, there are no stone-age languages - that every language is sophisticated. The average Bantu tribesman has a language every bit as sophisticated as an Englishman (perhaps even more so).

It's an interesting read if you can get hold of it

diverse dan..i got a mate[my lil buddy
a real dikkkhead..who perks up at the mention of love
who refuses to entropophy

its hard going for this hard case

but cant risk getting the sack

if sex was all we are here for
how come those who do the job well..for many
die so young..and there are so many old spinsters
and smelly old men..no one wants around..except to claim their wealth

there is a meaning in life
even if i dont got the words to explain why

some times the toa..the 'way'
is enough...its the journey..not the beginning or end
