About humans

I'm not much of a believer in the supernatural. By that I mean I am sure there is no such thing, but almost by definition. To me, if it exists then it is part of nature and therefore not supernatural.

Along the same line of thought, I really try to keep a hold on what being human means. We are part of nature. I will tell you what the difference is between humans and animals as soon as you tell me what the difference is between dogs and animals... or between apples and fruits...

We are animals. There is no difference. Now, there are differences between humans and other animals just like there are differences between apples and other fruits.

Therefore I contend that anything we create is as natural as honey. From plastics to nuclear waste, nothing more than a byproduct of our species.

Are plastics and nuclear waste and global warming 'good' or are they 'bad'? That opens a whole different can of worms regarding 'good' vs. 'bad', a topic which I will bring up in a different post.

Introducing myself.

I'm me and I have a lot of random thoughts that I need to organize. This may be the medium I will use for this task... or may be not.

Who I really am is unimportant, perhaps undefined and maybe even undefinable. My thoughts however may be important and I need to examine them in more detail and expand my understanding in some areas.

I hereby begin this journey.

If someone does read this and has any advice or correction, please do share it with me, but I warn you I may not respond... that's just the way I roll ;-)
