What if humans have known all they needed to know ever since they evolved? Some forms of buddhism and other eastern philosohies say that 'reality' starts within, the world 'out there' starts with how it is perceived by the individual, this is the same as certain interperatations of quantum mechanics...Does it follow that if you change your own beliefs & assumptions, that you can then change your own reality?
The paragon of animals my ass! It's tempting to agree with Agent Smith (human beings are not a species, they are a virus: spreading from place to place, destroying/using everything, not finding a natural equilibrium, etc).

Not many people really listen or really talk to each other beyond small talk. I like to try and ask people questions no one else would ask them, just for a moment to get them to look beyond their noses and up into the heavens.....
