Re: What is the reason for Human existence?

May 18th, 2012, 5:54 am

Alien I'm quite willing to put forward several ideas. I have been watching and waiting for this exact post to do so. However.

And not classify them by any belief but by their actions. Hate and war is rooted in power and often, religion. A form of power. I think rea...

The minute i posted my age on forum user control. The adds that swarm these sites shifted to 'Dating for elder people' and 'Quality funeral plans for your family'. And 'people' tell me its all about freedom. That western 'civilization' is about people. Yes it is. People as consumers. Hjarloprillar

The extrapolation of the autonomous exponential growth of technology within the collective imagination of humankind, together with the strong current trends, strongly suggests that, within decades, the "work in progress" which we now call the Internet will become the next implementation of the on-going "life" process.
