I have the same problem, except mine was probably caused from too much loud music.

Looks like money can buy happiness. Too bad you have to be wired in.
Always question all authorities because the authority you don't question is the most dangerous... except me, never question me.

Meandering thoughts of an ape with just enough brains to be dangerous.

"Humanity no longer needs mythology to understand its place in the Universe.

There is no evidence to even remotely suggest that the Universe was created by some sort of supernatural entity. In fact quite the opposite is the case.

There is no evidence to even remotely suggest that the Earth was created by some sort of supernatural entity. In fact quite the opposite is the case.

There is no evidence to even remotely suggest that humanity is descended from a single pair of created ancestors. In fact quite the opposite is the case.

To believe something without evidence is irrational. To understand that humanity does not know or understand everything is rational.

Religions are institutionalised superstitions, in other words emotionally satisfying guesswork. Science is institutionalised curiosity, in other words the structured seeking of knowledge and understanding based on evidence.

Irrational belief is pointless and meaningless. Rational understanding is the foundation of progress. Humanity progresses because of rational thought not believing the myths of our ancestors."

That just about covers it Tank.  One is to wonder why so many of we mortals are so dedicated to the flawed logic that has to include an omnipotent being in the sky.

Forget the monster, that baby is so out of proportion! His head is like a neck tumor...and his back!

what is "progress?"


set the function, not the mechanism.

Advancement, growth, development, steady unceasing enhancement.

Leaving the dark, stagnating wilderness of ignorance for the bright, alert expanse of knowledge.
