Does Earth based evolution still need dumbasses?

Ok. Just trying to get my head around the concept.
So who or what created/instigated Bitcoin?
And are you saying that there is now no human control, input or output?

@Best.Korea
I assuming then, that to establish an ongoing value for bitcoin it is traded in conventional money markets, and that exchange rates are calculated similarly.
So who or what controls Bitcoin activity?

Hi Stephen
Off to the coast for a couple of days.
Hope it's spring like there.

Overthink.
Overthink is a human specialism.
The electro-chemical storage, assessment and development of sensory acquired data.
Output in the form of fact or hypothesis.
Though some hypotheses are more speculative than others.
Most religious hypotheses have a basic and reasonable premise.
Though cosmetic elaborations such as ritual and worship tend to detract from the basic idea.
The basic idea has been sitting on the drawing board for millennia, simply because it lacks basic evidence.
That's because the basic idea, though reasonable, was purely assumptive and therefore without evidence.
So one either has a conditioned operating system that significantly accepts religious ideology, or one doesn't.
I am of the latter.
It would take a huge extra-terrestrial spaceship to make me change my mind set.

So, you buy bitcoin with what?
And can you explain the dynamics of bitcoin in relation to standard national currencies, such as the dollar or pound sterling?
What is the actual benefit of bitcoin over standard currencies?

Hmmmmmm.
Just musing.
Stress is one of those words that covers a whole raft of physiological experiences.
But tends to be associated with any event that stimulates some level of mental anguish.
Physical stress is generally self imposed, and for a variety of reasons may stimulate mental anguish.
On the other hand, self imposed physical stress can stimulate mental positivity.
I think that we can also define self imposed mental exercise as being generally positive, though the opposite is likely to stimulate negative stress.
So broadly speaking, stress is either positive or negative, and is therefore likely to correspondingly result in either positive or negative outcomes.

If one is a conditioned atheist, then why would one bother to adopt a religion.
It would be like asking a conditioned theist to adopt atheism.

Hey, what do you expect.
The human default setting is survival.
Safety in numbers.
Tolerance.
Discrimination and mistrust
Fight or flight.
Emotional bonding is probably limited to pair bonding and parental bonding, but cannot be assured.

@Amber
So Amber, in my opinion:
We are all ideologues to a degree.
With regards to the subject of "trans", I am indifferent and try to understand the bigger picture.
Whereas you feel threatened and are therefore resentful.
I'm just guessing that you are heavily influenced by social media lobbyists on both sides of the fence.
Those that flaunt themselves and irk you, and those that preach ideological intolerance which resonates in accordance to your conditioned mindset.
Whereas I sit on the fence.
Though if I feel unthreatened, I will always err on the side of tolerance.
Such is how my mindset has been influenced and developed.
So what is it that worries you so much?
Have you actually given much thought to the bigger picture?
And as I see it, anyone who seeks to promote a contentious ideology, is going to inevitably instil a level of paranoia in themselves.

A Zedku for Saad.
Yep.
Ritual baloney a go go.
Go wash your feet and bob up and down on a carpet.
Go put on your best bonnet and sing praise to the lord.
Go bash your head against a wall.
And any other daft stuff that for some reason might seem appropriate.
What I like to do is sit quietly, enjoy a cup of tea and then have a nap.
Hey! I'm a crazy bastard too.

Well, I barely remember anything from school.
I doubt that this is an accurate statement.
You may not choose to utilise a lot of your formatively programmed data.
It will just have been stored, rather than erased.
The ongoing necessity of data manipulation is dedicated to the here and now.
And you will still utilise essential learned information, such as literacy and numeracy.

@Mall
Well.
Your ideas are stuck in the past, and ignore the significance of technological progress
Collectively though, both are perhaps essential factors in the slow process of intellectual and material evolution.
Alternatively, nothing matters at all.
If only we knew
Perhaps it's essential that we don't know.
But of course, if nothing matters then nothing matters.
You decide for yourself Mall.
Though it seems to me that liberal, intellectually progressive societies have already exceeded old style family values.

Mental programming is what it is.
And some might suggest that American gun lust is a mental illness.
And some might say that religiously inspired sexual angst promotes mental illness.
Not to overlook the potential of environmental contaminants.
Nonetheless, if someone enjoys buggering ladyboys and ladyboys enjoy being buggered, then I don't give a damn.
To overthink and over-worry about other peoples lives, perhaps also comes under the broad umbrella of mental illness.
Sperm and eggs procreate organic intelligence, though the vehicles are less of a practical necessity these days.
Such is evolution.
Just as A.I. is evolution.
And our lives are a fleeting universal nanosecond.
Get over it, stop worrying about other peoples sexuality.
And enjoy your own life whilst you have the chance..

Hi Lemming.
I would suggest that challenges come in all shapes and sizes.
And that there is stress and then there is stress.
Comprising two broad categories; mental and physical.
Which are nonetheless, inextricably linked.
If life and survival under whatever circumstances is deemed to be tough, then wellbeing is impacted.
But if life and survival, though equally as physically and mentally demanding, is deemed to be enjoyable, then wellbeing is enhanced.
It's really about how individuals and to an extent families and societies, have been programmed to overthink and respond to physiological challenges.

Economy is all about the distribution and redistribution of wealth, and criminality has always been an integral part of the system.
And whipping doesn't deter thieves; it just satisfies the lust of the self-righteous.
Of course, some would say that capitalism is morally criminal anyway.
And if Udog reidentifies, then that's cool by me.
Nope, if you want to punish thieves, put them to socially beneficial work.
Social gardening, litter picking, cleaning etc.
Make them wear orange overalls if you like.
And confiscate their mobile devices for the duration.

@Owen_T
Such is the USA , it's people, and how it's people are still subject to the oppression of archaic generational data transfer.
Over here in the UK, church is just the playroom for committed old diehards.
And to say that one is a Christian, is basically to say that one does flower arranging.
And one doesn't go around proclaiming atheism, one just gets on with other stuff on a Sunday.
Like cycling.
Shopping and pub dinners are also very popular.
Not that one doesn't appreciate church architecture, graveyards and campanology.
And then there are urban Muslims; still to a greater degree, subject to the oppression of archaic generational data transfer.
Though to be fair, more and more are becoming non-practicing, and simply identify as Muslim.
Self discrimination is inevitable I suppose.

Why worry about fighting China?
Jealous or something?
What people want is, supposedly MAGA, and cheap goods.
And China can deliver. cheap goods.
And capitalists like Trump will get rich in the process.
And the ordinary working person will stay just about the same.
And the red hat brigade, without a second thought, will continue to bleat in praise of their orange god.

OSISI.
Omni-Sensible Interventionist Super- Intelligence.
Is a reasonable hypothesis.
GOD is a Grand Old Deity,
And is naievly analogical,
As you suggest.
Jesus et al, are no more or no less spurious contactees
So, hypothetically we're all singing from the same hymn sheet.
Albeit slightly out of tune.
Of course it might all be an inevitable but universally unknown agglomeration of sub-atomic particles.
Speculation is rife.
And all hypotheses lack definitive evidence.
But where did all those f'ing particles come from?

MAGA.
Is a simple acronym and unlikely to be forgotten.
Except by most people most of the time.
Until such times when someone mentions it, and it is remembered.
In between such times, most people have a lot of more mundane but essential stuff to consider.
What does "I was a relovetion Paul Hard" mean?
Seemingly one of the first things that Trump needs to sort out is illiteracy.
Only joking.
Whether or not America was ever great, is open to discussion, anyway.
Britain was great once, and we have the name to prove it.
But Today just like America we are a nation amongst a global internet community of other nations.
Or is it just a "white" mans fading delusion thing Wylted?

The first thing for the Administration to tackle will be how to run the nation, whilst simultaneously making the President elect feel that he is still important and included in the process.

Same question as ever.
Who does the U.S. owe $123 trillion to, and who is going to collect the debt?
Money is one of those make-believe realities.
Bottom line is, we either, let people starve to death or succumb to common illnesses, or we don't.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, truthiness indeed.
And although I can't imagine aliens attacking Earth,
Hypothetically they could be the size of a microbe, or the size of of something very very big.
Notwithstanding that libertarians can be hypocritical when necessary.
Of course the biggest blow to modern persons ideas would be the banning of personal computing and communication devices.
We are now as addicted to them, as we are to not walking devices....Lets ban them too.
Computing is only necessary for clever folk, so that they can eventually escape Prison Earth.
And not walking devices create fat lazy people..
My advice to you is, stay at home and dream of Blaire White.
Then you won't end up in heaven with Ashli.
Riots are for libertarians with nothing better to do.
And in my opinion anything attacking from an interstellar or intergalactic position, probably has the edge.
Best hide when they turn up.
