[QUOTE=Tark;39503199]is that not scientific advancement[/QUOTE] If ingesting plants is scientific advancement, then it's a scientific advancement every time you eat.

[QUOTE=felix the cat;39503223]If ingesting plants is scientific advancement, then it's a scientific advancement every time you eat.[/QUOTE] It was the first time someone ate. [editline]6th February 2013[/editline] I wonder what the first thing eaten by a human being was.

milk

I'd consider that to be a drink.

the first baby that was born that was genetically a Homo sapien sapien would have had milk from its mother

What came first, the human or the fetus? [editline]7th February 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Apache249;39503226]It was the first time someone ate. [/QUOTE] Not if it was for survival.

specifically human fetus? because lots of things have fetuses

yes human fetus

lol if a human fetus came first it would just die there is no answer

but then where did the human come from that carried the fetus?

well evolution is a very gradual thing so its not like a protohuman just popped out a human baby, so there really is no answer to that question

I know. I'm just busting balls now

I tried to write up a legitimate counter argument but I just couldn't. Because it sounded goddamn stupid. It sounded like an 8th grade English essay in which you learn how to prove a point by stating the same obvious thing 3 times in a row. You can't argue against progress. I can't even consider that a valid opinion. It's like considering death over life; you just don't do it unless you're in an incomprehensible state of mind in which you have other problems to deal with. Your desire to live a simpler, ancient, pre-civilization life stems fully and completely from the very society that you criticize, and what it has made you. You would not be who you are, thinking what you are thinking, if you had not grown up and lived in 20th and 21st century earth. It doesn't make sense to me. You can't just transpose yourself into the body of a hunter-gatherer 20,000 years ago, you would be that hunter gatherer, not you. You would hate work like any other human being, but now instead of [I]living[/I] you'd be [I]surviving[/I]. And if you're merely surviving you don't have room to take in the beauty of those little specks of light above you or the utter lack of society, something you would have never known of in the first place. You can't define progress as a culmination of everything horrible to have ever been conceived. It's way, way, WAY more than that; it's everything good to have ever happened too! You're not saying that the glass is half empty, you're failing to recognize that it could ever even contain anything in the first place. I'm done, I'm tired, and I'm going to sleep.

I'm feeling some deli life v.8 titles emerging.

[/QUOTE] I get the point you're making, but this part's pretty ridiculously inaccurate. If you want to get a feel of how hunter-gatherer societies existed, look at records of Native Americans (USA local, not South American) around the beginning of American colonization. Many of these tribes were very successful, and had a deep and loving link with nature. These people's grasp of technology (and "progress") consisted of advanced hunting techniques, primitive weapons, uses for animal parts, housing, and basic herbal medicine, and they remained this way for thousands of years relatively unchanged. In addition, these people lived in sync with the world around them. I think that is the point that Felix is making, that people without crippling society, high technology, and consistent advancement were able to remain happy, successful, and without damaging the world around them.

The argument I'm making is that maybe it would be better without all that. Because no, I wouldn't have what I have now or think what I without the tens of thousands of years of human advancement, but it brings it back to "why do humans need all that?". Why do humans need to be able contemplate whether or not advancement is a good thing? There is no black or white definite answer, and saying "because we evolved to" doesn't cut it either. So telling me that my beliefs are stupid or ignorant is unfounded.

For the most part, the same can be said of Australian Aboriginals before British Colonization. Technology, longer lifespans, and "advancement" doesn't mean that people will be happier overall.

felix, youre my best friend and i love you bro, but every once in a while you say something really dumb. Its rare, but it happens. I can only think of one or two other times. i think now is the time to stop this debate/argument. and talk about our favorite breakfast foods i have recently been getting two eggs over easy, thick sliced ham, and uncut toast when i go to get breakfast and combining it into a delicious and messy sandwich.

goddamn i haven't made one of those sloppy breakfast sandwiches in forever i know what i'm having for breakfast tomorrow morning

I like most of the traditional breakfast foods. Bacon, sausage, eggs, some sort of potato, omelets. I had a chicken fried steak with eggs once. That was good. It's hard to narrow it down.

shit i was responding to the previous page, this page is much more civil and orderly. carry on.

I dont eat breakfast. I wake up at like 1am every day so I just eat lunch and dinner. Then maybe a mid-night snack before I got to bed

a local place around here has strawberry banana pancakes and they cook the strawberries and bananas INTO the pancake and its so good

I wish there was a good waffle place nearby

What other sports do you guys do when not being tacticool? I for one have been known to dabble in the art of mountain biking.
