According to Heidegger...It's just a hundred years of love and attention-seeking behaviour. If you have any doubt, call Rachel-The Perfect Assistant.



According to Graeme  Maxton, "...Humanity has finally evolved to a point where our species is moving backwards. We are destroying more than we build. Every year the world economy grows by about $1.5 trillion ( or a thousand billion).  But, every year, we devastate the planet to the tune of $4.5 trillion."


According to Joseph Heidegger, humanity finds itself in a perilous situation but why? He said that  "...just because a third wolrd war might break out unexpectedly and bring about the complete annihilation of humanity and the destruction of the earth? No.

The approaching tide of technological revolution could so captiviate, bewitch, dazzle, and beguile humanity....Then humanity would have denied and thrown away its own special nature:  that we are meditative beings.  Therefore, the issue is the saving of humanity's essential nature. Therefore, the issue is keeping meditative thinking alive.

-Martin Heidegger

A new movie coming out sometime next year will depict in the opening scenes the movement of neandrathal man north into the colder, mountainous regions of the world that were not so blessed with the bountiful, tropical, equatorial environment and habitat that made eating and drinking a secondaty thought. You could just pick a banana from the tree and there was a pineapple or two beside an orange or something( three grapefruits a day and you were good to go as a neandrathal man). So as he this man moved north and the cold winds and rains set upon him, he may have had to turn to his neighbours or brothers for sustenance whether or not they knew they were his dinner.  It is an interesting theory but it does not explain Norwegian,  Icelandic or Swedish culture that is very fond of hot spring baths and chocolate. However, it does bring to mind the comments of Thomas Hobbes about his own country while in civil war.  His writings were essentially a request for an enforced ten commandments of neighbourly and commodious living.
