Re: Life and Thought
Homo sapiens aren't the first species to develop technology. A chimp using a stone to open a particularly pesky nut is a case in point. Homo sapiens is, however, the first species to use energy extrasomatically.
And that brings me back to my point raised ages and plenty threads ago that life is the result and agent of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. And any form of Life that expedites the Second Law will be beneficial, and selected for...
Hence brains.
Hence technology.
Buffy's 110% spot on - brains aren't the goal of evolution. It's just a handy tool to have under the dictates of the Second Law. We have the most, so we rule. But nukes and such indicates that brains doesn't guarantee survival - it might be detrimental.
If there is such an animal as can be described as 'God', his name isn't 'Jahweh'. His name is numerical in nature. His name is "THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS".
All hail!
