Eh, I wish humans were more human... then we'd have more peace. Peace isn't hard to achieve. What you transcend towards your child, or whatever thing you hold close or dear to yourself, transcend it to the rest... to other humans and ultimately humanity itself. Only then we can proceed. Only then we will reach our true potentials.

Peace and love.

Your videos are all very thought provoking. I know you get this a lot but you really should post more of these, especially more like your healthy eating series and cancer. Very informative. A quick thought on the video: When you break it down like you did it all sounds very simple. However, humans are notorious for complicating every thought that comes into our minds. It is refreshing to just think in terms of what we are rather than what our minds portray us to be.

Your last point is one which resonates with me very strongly.

I think our extremely social nature sometimes betrays us. We attach a great deal of significance to subtle shadings within elaborate hierarchies, worrying about who said what about whom and the accumulation of status - "much ado about nothing," as Shakespeare put it - and pay little attention to what is really going on in the universe, or within ourselves.

What is really going on is fascinating stuff.

It's because we're so trapped in our culture, in the being of being human on this planet with the brains we have, and the same two arms and legs everybody has. We're so trapped that any way we could imagine to escape would be just another part of the trap. Anything we want, we're trained to want.

A Human being is a slightly
evoled monkey with more intellect.
Humans are No different in the fact
that they Rape,Murder,etc. other humans.
Humans also find trivial reasons to
think they are better than other human beings
whether it be race,Gender,sexual orientation
and so on.while there are decent humans
out there,they are a minority.

Would it surprise you to know, 9N8X, that science has no rigorous definition for the word "intellect?" The word is used carelessly, I'm afraid. By all of us.

Me included.

Moving on... you have personally demonstrated yet another definition of human. We are the ape which is eager to dispense judgments, issue condemnations, and affix labels.

Quite a distinction, huh.

Those are asides. I see some truth in your words. I only wish I didn't.
