sean Posted September 9, 2006 Via global-mindshift.org  "What is a mind shift and why do we need to make one?  How can we build a better future for all of us? That's the fundamental question of our time. Today we are discovering it will require a global mind shift if we are to provide an answer adequate to our current situation. Take a look at the current presentation. You'll learn why the old ways of dealing with our current situation no longer work. More importantly, you'll discover there is a mind shift taking place today that provides the larger perspective we need to answer the age old questions.  Where am I? Who am I? What am I to do?"  Lezlie and I just watched the first part, step 1, "get a bigger perspective". Pretty enjoyable. Cool art in the background of the video, I found Brian Swimme to be engaging and I definitely learned some things I didn't know. I'm curious about his perspective on evolution though ... he spoke many times of life "inventing" things, like photosynthesis, sex, eyes, etc. My understanding is that the mainstream field of evolutionary science considers this a naive view and that the, perhaps bleaker, reality is that new "features" are basically the result of "what doesn't die". In other words, the giraffe didn't grow a long neck to reach the high leaves, giraffes with short necks all died. The "invent a longer neck" story of course sounds better though and I'm curious if/how it's grounded in some new empirical findings. Maybe I'll pick up his book.  Sean Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Conventional wisdom supports natural selection, ( i.e. the weak die off ) but how do you explain that no other species co-existing with the giraffe did not exhibit extreme long-necks? Mutations contributing into the gene pool does provide a real function. The theory that during periods of gravitational reversal the earth is exposed to high levels of radiation providing for more mutations to occur could explain relative rapid sporadic evolutionary changes.  Guess what? We are probably entering shortly a magnetic field reversal. So in a few 100,000 years we may all be walking around with 10 foot necks.  Bruce Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayfarer64 Posted September 10, 2006 I think you mean the magnetic field-not garavitation being flipped-& yes the solar winds would have a window to blast the planet with an on-slaught of radiation, which may be benign, if it is REALLY quick- or quite dangerous to all life... if maybe not the tardigrade, which is the most likely candidate to survive such an onslaught ... Â I should think that 10' necks would be of little use and not get much regard in the natural selection process... What seems a bit more likely is that with so many women now watching porn (in the western world) it may be they will reject men with normal sized penises and produce a new breed of males with 10" schlongs to carry on the white race, or perhaps try sex with our dark-skinned brethren who are already said to be so equiped, Conversly as Americans realize that the intellectual capacities of our Asian brethren are mighty well developed, women will go for them instead of us lazier white guys... And dingus be damned... or some combo that will just keep us on the path to racial harmony and multi-sized members... But I guess that is already happining as we naturally go about selecting mates and producing an intermingled human race . And this, with the side boon of driving racist and narrow-minded bigots bonkers with how natural selection tends to leave the stupidest individuals to mate with each other, eventually creating a back-ward inbred group of reduced capacity and importance - and behold-the yahooing red-neck, a dieing breed with little future to hope for. So praise the lord's intelligence for thinking-up natural selection to glean out the impurities found in bad genes that create ignorant and loutish brutes...Its taken a few hundred thousand years but the human race is shaping up nicely...

Wayfarer64 Posted September 10, 2006 I'm white and I have a massive penis. Â Hey great ! Then as one of the new and improved models, much sought after by the modern -porn-lovin'- woman...Do your duty beggetting more shlong-slingin' "white" babies. Yes indeedy-go improve the membership of our race! By the by don't be so very sure that you're all white bro... Recent genetic studies have shown most of us, at least in America's "melting pot" who are seemingly from European, or African, or Asian or native American ancestry have much more mixed blood than once believed.

Wayfarer64 Posted September 16, 2006 All right already so we are funny mamals with sexual equiptmant that makes us happy ( I hope!)... But what of the mind-shift ???? I will visit the sight and register and visit a while -wayfarer the spyboy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
