People are ants. It's just a big ant hill, they argue and fight over who gets a piece of the mushroom, and who gets to bash the other ants, and who will oppress and sacrafice ants as if they were ants, for their own glory, power, etc. But it's all meaningless, they're all just ants anyway, so what's the point. They never look outwards to see that there is something other than a hole in the ground crammed full of ants figuring out new ways to make life miserable for ants.

I should be the last person on this earth to say this, but please stay on the topic of this thread.

Chrisisall,

My child, I AM older than you. And in dog years I'm way older than you. I remember the first US space launch, duck and cover, and the assassination of President Kennedy.

But I feel much, much older than my years.

River6213,

Your numbers are interesting. Three prime numbers and a multiple of them. Is that significant? (For some reason I tend to look for patterns in numbers.)

No one knows what it's like
To be the sad man.
To be the bad man,
Behind blue eyes.

Some people know what that's like. It's a personal curse but an evolutionary gift with a meaningful function. You are in the company of Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill.

DT,

I'm not sure I get your imagery.

Are humans ants b/c they are ruled by the past (in a mechanistic universe)? B/c they are ruled by their biology? B/c even the earth is a temporary phenomenon in the grand scheme of things?

Just wondering.

been having random attacks of insomnia lately, so I'll throw my hat in the ring -

I keep getting panic attacks when I lay down and try to rest. Sometimes I can't sleep for hours after I'm supposed to be out for the count. I worry because I can't sleep, and I can't sleep because I keep worrying. I think it may be time for a new job, because so many of my coworkers have similar complaints and this never happened this bad this often before. Trying to lay off caffeine has helped some, but not as much as I'd hoped. Up next? Trying to quit smoking.

UGH! Shot down! Killed! Destroyed!

Sincerest apologies. Wasn't trying to sound the judgemental zealot. Lesson to all: Friends don't let friends drink and tap keys!

In my previous, foolish, and TWI'd (Tapping While Intoxicated) long-windedness, I forgot to put my one of own dark moment/temp. ideas:
A double decimation of the human race. Then, toy with genetics enough that humans live longer, but reproduce at a drastically slower rate.
