  • Hegemony is defined as rule through consent. Work 50 hours weekly as long as your family has health insurance and a 20 in your wallet to buy a couple of beers on the way home. Spend the rest on payments for junk that gets worth less than you owe the longer you own it, then replace junk to have 2010 junk instead of a 2007 junk. Distract yourself with a football or baseball obsession which prevents unique personalities. Hegemony is McDonalds, U.S. History, WalMart, 30 years, $5000 funeral. stop.

  • I wondered if nature created intelligence as just another way to survive which is what most would believe anyway by means of chance. but I also ask that perhaps it came about in the hope so to speak to assist nature to survive from the forces of nature Does not make sense I know so its kind of suggest there is an intelligence behind it all. Nature of creation and destruction. Intelligence is suppose to help the creation side but destruction also got a hold of mans Inelligence

  • Thats assuming no intelligent life came before man perhaps there was an intelligent life before man but did not survive like neanderthals. But I get his point and in fact agree with him to some extent Its possible intelligent life on earth that is human life started out a lot earlier than science says as some alternative theories suggest. Also he is using life on earth as a model. Who know perhaps intelligent life stated out earlier on other worlds even at the very beginnings of a suitable form
