^That's pretty scary.. and not unlikely. Power of love or the love of power? I know which way I want to go.

Are you in?

I remember some quote from the movie, Waking Life...

Quote:
When you come to think of it, almost all human behavior and activity... is not essentially any different from animal behavior. The most advanced technologies and craftsmanship... bring us, at best, up to the super-chimpanzee level. Actually, the gap between, say, Plato or Nietzsche and the average human.. is greater than the gap between that chimpanzee and the average human.
I am more towards the point of view that the way we record information and pass it on from generation to generation is one, if not the main, reason for out 'progress' in comparison to your average prehistoric 'cave-dweller' or animal for that matter.
