Re: The world can be a beautiful place
It is beautiful planet. Most people are good. The press like to sell us stories of bad behaviour and general shitiness and people lap it up.

There's nothing like the power of Mother Nature to reign in our delusions of grandeur in the great scheme of things.

So long as the planet survives I don't care.

Perhaps a little "optimistic" Darren.?D41 wrote:We are nothing but the dinosaurs of the future..
Afik the Dinosaurs ruled for around 170 million years.
We have been top predator for less than 10,000 years ( and almost wrecked the ecosystem already).
Thus far we have identified no species of Dinosaurs that had a period of existence as short as our species.
If we had existed over 66 million, we probably wouldn't even register on the archaeological record (except as a thin layer of plastic)

Re: The world can be a beautiful place
Was it 170 million years they were around?? I had no idea. Only knew when they died out.
But to be fair, we do "create" things.....we build, we design, we have the arts, etc. We have an imagination (well, some people do, not me..). We question & evaluate things. Other animals don't do these things.

Re: The world can be a beautiful place
No other animal creates things???
Bees creative hives
Beavers create dams
many apes species use tools
I could go on and on but you get the picture.
There is plenty of creation, design, evaluation and questioning in the animal world. I’m sure there is imagination as well.
Big bad lion, feels hungry and imagines a full belly of antelope. Scopes the plains and evaluates I’d options. Questions himself on wether the closer but smaller animal is the way to go or should he travel further to get the big fat arsed one.
Just because it’s done different to us doesn’t mean it’s not done.
Difference is they generally do it in support of the survival of the ecology, where we use it up and destroy sustainability, expand beyond our means and generally exploit our environment.

Re: The world can be a beautiful place
Birds make nests, etc.....yes, I get it. But that's building something....what about creating something that's not physical ....music, for instance.

Re: The world can be a beautiful place
Like singing whales or birds, courtship songs from a wide range of beasts, that sort of thing?

Re: The world can be a beautiful place
Music has structure & form.
I suppose you could say a bird can sound 'musical'.

Re: The world can be a beautiful place
I think you're wrong. There are lots of examples of animals producing sound for a variety of reasons, some of which is nothing more than personal entertainment.
But you think otherwise. We'll disagree and leave it at that.
