    um, how about we all do calculus 'instinctively' in our visual centers.

    It just took us that long to understand what it is we do.

    Then even longer for us to understand every animal does it.

    Might have been funnier if you didn't pick mozart who is most definitely not music for masses, for mathematicians maybe, but definitely not the masses. Beethoven would be the one to pick since he bridges the classicists and the romanticists.

    Right and wrong. You might be thinking of pentagrams which are used in the occult across the world.

    If you were thinking of only the United States, then yes, you are correct. The pentagon is not only the symbol most associated with witchcraft and devil worship, but also where most of it takes place.

    I think if you consider all the animals you listed, you'll come to the conclusion that it doesn't work.

    That is, if you have the chance to compare the quality of the food to that in another country. Pork that isn't as huge, but tastes good. Chicken's that can stand on their own and actually taste like meat. Beef that doesn't taste like toxic cardboard, wheat that has nutrients and protein in it. Rice that actually has flavour!

    The States is a clear case where bigger, is clearer NOT better.

    Or, we're intelligent people that can think for ourselves. That means reading scriptures first hand and not following the religious interpretations.

    The road is long and winding, but science gets there eventually. I should know. I was a skeptic and followed science, and i still ended up at god. :) In fact, i'm still a skeptic. It's not like skeptics and those who know god don't intersect.

    You have to be really smart though. Haha, i'm just like in the book. The only thing my intelligence got me was a fixed body and happiness. I guess those looking for money should look elsewhere.

    You are blinded by the theory of evolution. You are just parroting 'conclusions' drawn from badly conducted studies. Try to think for yourself.

    Materialistic people aren't evolved. They're the unevolved body conscious people, as opposed to athletes. Just like the vast majority of geeks are not mental genius, just focused on one tiny area and only good at that.

    A true alpha male will bond with both jocks and geeks, because he will possess qualities from both the mind and body that both admire.

    All those scientific studies sound pretty, but a large problem happens when you ask people's opinion about what they do. Problem is people don't understand why they do the things they do. It's why the type of woman they say they find attractive is hardly ever the type of woman that they are currently with! Let's just say that something as simple as the theory of evolution is missing too much of the picture to accurately describe what's going on.

    You might not understand what i was saying being it wasn't directed at you :) You have to remember we are all humans and we all see things differently.

    If i live in the states and my friend lives in mexico, i'm going to give him directions to come north. If i meet someone in canada, i'm going to give them directions to come south. Totally different directions that would not be comprehensible or work for the other person, and yet they both arrive at the same place. :)

    You should start asking yourself Why?

    As for evolutionary scale, let's just say that you attract those that are at the same sort of broken level than you are. Doesn't have to be the same broken, lot's go for man defective in brain, woman defective in body. The reverse, where the geeks get the woman is becoming quite popular. Though being a submissive slave for a materialistic doll doesn't qualify as a win in my books :)

    Men attract women to them on the same 'evolutionary' scale. If you've never had a women tell you what she needed, it says more about you and the women you attract and less about women in general.

    The problem with your example, is that you've never talked to street people.

    You'd be suprised at some of the gems you'd find. Perhaps you should revisit your assumptions as to why people are on the street?

    Your view that we are irrelevant is part of the problem with our global situation today. Life is more than material existence after all. Once, we as humanity, start growing out of our terrible two's, we will start to notice that we do have relevance.

    It is only at that point that a civilization is worth talking to anyways, when they stop being children fighting over the limited toys in the play pen, and start actually taking action on things of importance and not just acting on childish wants and desires.

    The problem with classes taken decades ago, is that the 'truth' evolves.

    Almost everything i learned in anthropology, decades ago, has been supplanted. :( What we really need, which i'm working on, is something like subversion for the -ologies. It's almost impossible to track the mistakes that get propagated into diverse fields, and respective sciences tend to keep their mistakes within their own fields. Especially history, because the history you are familiar with has everything to do with where you were raised.
