Darwin’s Dilemma

Cuma, Ekim 21st, 2005

“…Darwin had been invited to be a naturalist aboard H.M.S. Beagle on its two year survey of South America. The ship was to set sail on 25 September. He immediately accepted the offer, but his father and sisters were totally against the idea. They saw it as a continuation of Darwin’s long line of idle pursuits. Worst of all, such a journey would get in the way of Darwin going into the clergy…”

dude. it was majorly in the way of  -going into the clergy.

“And the effect works both ways. Just as physical exercise can boost the brain, mental exercise can boost the body. In 2001, researchers at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Ohio asked volunteers to spend just 15 minutes a day thinking about exercising their biceps. After 12 weeks, their arms were 13 percent stronger.”

wtf?

I’ve just realized that we are possibly the first generation to realize collectively that humanity is not going to last forever and we’ll disspear on earth without accomplishing anything or even having a slight undertanding about anything at all.

Nietzsche knew it:

“In some remote corner of the universe, poured out and glittering in innumerable solar systems, there once was a star on which clever animals invented knowledge. That was the highest and most mendacious minute of “world history”—yet only a minute. After nature had drawn a few breaths the star grew cold, and the clever animals had to die.”

it didn’t do him any good to know it though…
