The other day someone said
to me hey you are a professional blogger
don’t you answer all those tricky questions about stuff. . . . To which
I said yes and that is the easiest
question I have ever had to deal with, but then they said well I was wondering why the social economic
structure that mankind lives within is so complex when say a duck messes about,
eats grass and maybe heads south for the winter. I did try and explain that I normally only
write about 500 words per post and we have already used a whole load up and
have not ever started to deal with his rather complex question.
So in order to deal with
this I will answer it in two bits because there are in fact two very different
answers to this, one very long answer and one much shorter. Tonight will be the
shorter answer. Both are equally valid and have their supporters within the
scientific community at large.
So consider the dilemma of
being a super intelligent lifeform keen to colonise the universe, but also
aware of the issues involved. I have previously explained it is as good as
impossible to do this. However there is one way it could be done and recent
discoveries in space support this theory, you see the basic building blocks of
life have been found in space and we need to ask ourselves why it is there.
Well it is likely it was put there by a super intelligent lifeform and
represents the key genetic data of their own species at a micro biological structure level, where it (the building blocks of life) drifts through space. Once encountering a planet
gravity ensures it covers its surface. And because of the microscopic size
it does not burn up as it falls through the atmosphere. Once on the planet it then interferes with the
process of Evolution in the most suitable species and gradually turn the DNA of
the host being into the original (alien) lifeform.
Have you noticed how
Mankind suddenly headed down an entirely different avenue of evolutionary
process to other apes and we now have a lifestyle closer to that of termites
and ants. Just look at how folk move about in IKEA and large shopping centres,
the Great Apes just sit about or chill in trees and never build large towers
like termites. If you add to this to the
question of what sort of super lifeform would put the colony and species before
the individual in order to colonize the universe; and the answer is clearly an
insect one such as termites or ants.
We are not ants we
lack the required number of limbs but viewed from a great height our cities are
very similar to that of the termite and insect colonies. And we have ever increasing laws and regulations to control us, pressurizing us to conform to the
will of the masses. Something clearly changed us from being apes, and it is very
likely we are in the process of becoming pre-programmed alien beings.
You may laugh but just
think about this next time you are following the little arrows around IKEA
without question picking up large fluffy termites for the kids to play with. . .
. . . . . . . .
Another idea is that ducks may be super intelligent but refuse to act that they. They have discovered that the simple life is more in-joy-a-bull, and being wingless creatures yet superintelligent they discovered that Redbull gives them wiings. So aLL the wiing less ducks drank Redbull and then secretly snuck into the Redbull factory and changed the formula so that wiings stopped growing after consuming Redbull. Unfortunately not aLL horses had drank Redbull, only two horses had drank the wingifying wingiflying original formula. Their names were Peg & Gus, but when people would see their offspring they would say, "Peg & Gus's!!!" which slowly changed to Pegasus.
ReplyDeleteThat picture is one of my favorites of yours. I remember it quite weLL.
DeleteI meant to say "they refuse to act that way"
DeleteI have never had Redbull, but we are in dairy cattle country so we do see the occasional bull about. None of which have wings.
DeleteSea-gus and Peg-quin both have wings, but Peg-quin can't fly and sounds oddly welsh. particularly if said in a welsh accent.
I have neVer had Redbull beverage either. I heard there was a class action lawsuit because people didn't get wings after drinking it.
DeleteYou happened to mention two of my three favourite animals Ants and Apes.
ReplyDeleteI love watching documentaries on ants. They way the live in such complex groups, as you say, does make one think "Are we like them or are they like us?"
Apes are cool because they are our evolutionary cousins and we really should look after our extended family.
I did see on the news that a judge in New York is going to decide if monkeys should have the same rights as humans.... I for one think they should.
Here's hoping your next explaination contains my third favourite animal (although I'm not going to say what it is until then in order to maintain suspense.
Well I now know it is not a duck so that makes it just slightly easier. . . When I say slightly that is a very slight slightly indeed.
DeleteI am glad you have a third favorite animal. I am not sure that I have reaLLy defined a ranking past my first favorite, The Dog. Maybe humans are my third favorite, certainly not the second.
DeleteInstead of being a professional blogger I think I would like to be a professional commenter or commentor or commentator, depending on what mood I am in at the moo-ment.
