I agree, Medicine relies on doctors to follow procedures that may not be intuitive. Unfortunately a lot of the diseases may be the cause of local environments and social behavior. The ability to know your patient is lost when they took away the oath of Do no Harm. I predict that this new age of medicine will end horribly even with the 8 billion human lab rats at their disposal.

That form of prion disease has never jumped species. They spent millions of dollars trying to get it to jump species and the only case was when they injected it directly into the brain of a mouse. The complexity of this disease makes me think it was designed or that evolution may have been going on for a lot more than 4 billion years. Its an evolutionary solution to the problem of eating the closest thing available and stops zombie apocalypses from starting.

That the geometrical shape of the fabric of space-time or higgs field should show similar events relative to 22.7. I suggest that everything is a three body problem at its fundamental point. I ran into that number before in a dream, I was watching an neutrino travel through the fabric of space time and it needed to be passing through 2.7 or 2.6 compartments of the fabric at the same time or it would not exist. Hmm oh well.

It will only be a matter of time before they try something that includes golf balls. I predict they will eventually freeze a golf ball size mixture of corn starch and water. Pack about a million of them in a c130 and drop them in front of the fire at 200 mph. The frozen objects will collect moisture out of the atmosphere on the way down and rip all the canopy off the trees when they hit. When they melt they will produce a cool fog that will cool down the underbrush.

Nothing that I said was meant to be philosophical. There is no quality I understand that I cannot define, the problem is that the amount of time that it would take to explain complex biological systems is immense. Even if one part is jaded by discrimination or prejudice the ideas or theories may still work, but will eventually fail. The definition of intelligence can also be changed, when they add the time dimension to it.

The first step is to try and understand the evolutionary purpose for discrimination, racism, prejudice and patriotism. I speculate that 3 billion years ago a gene was introduced into the genome that changed behaviors or genetic belief systems. This gene halted the ability to give everything away and without it we would not be here today. With that said, it could be that we are unconsciously driven by genetic belief systems and our decisions are genetically predetermined. There is some evidence that we are coming out of that early stage of evolution and just starting to take the first baby step to becoming an intelligent species but it is still a long way away. If human intelligence is relative to its population size, I would estimate that human intelligence may be achieved when we reach 14 billion. Until then all our decisions and actions could only be considered as mechanical not intellectual. One great example of how our beliefs are mainly genetic is the prion disease. There are several types mad cow type diseases each one is species specific (will not jump species) its purpose is to stop a species from being cannibalistic. If this disease did not exist life would not have advanced. The other important prion disease is called Alzheimer's, It stops people that might think that they are intelligent from spreading bullshit to the next generations.

You are somewhat correct, but you falsely assume that humans are an intelligent species. I live in a forested area and we get forest fires every year. I built an 200 tree irrigated orchard around my house to protect it. By the time they solve the riddle as to what is causing the fires, it will be to late.

I developed a computer model that showed that the polar vortex could be pulled and held at a lower latitude. My model showed that gravitational pull from the moon can move the polar vortex in a predictable way. Another important part of my model showed that sea surface temperature can cause the same effect. My conclusion is that excess carbon is producing more algae and limiting photons to release energy on the sea surface causing sea surface temperatures to rise. The warm air will take the path of least resistance and push the polar vortex off the pole. This happened a few times last winter. I first observed this pattern several years ago and wrote about it on Slashdot. The bottom line is we are doomed.
