We are a result of 4 billion years of evolutionary success. We should act like it!



Nope. Not happening.

And we are about to exceed the capacity of our planet to support us all because our minds are focused on having more stuff (unlimited desires runs rampant in the human race). Maybe the fact that we have govt representatives like the guy from Georgia that is on the House committee for Space Science and Technology who says the Earth has only existed for 6-9000 years has something to do with the fact that we "don't act like it"?

Well, as long as we humans actually believe we need a thing called currency to expand and innovative ourselves, that one race is better and/or remain egotistical, we'll never really fully evolve. Instead we act like a species not thinking about the consequences of our actions. In this case, "intelligence" is a curse. Yeah... intelligence... . We should think about that word before using it.

Progress doesn't always lead to 'success' depending on your definition of success. And there is no such thing as 'unlimited growth'. In this way we have progressed to a kind of insanity. When are the corporations and companies going to realize that there is no such thing as unlimited growth and start converting their definition of success to a more sustainable way of treating the earth and all the creatures living on it? When are higher quarterly profits and the bottom line going to stop being 'the be all and end all' of what we laughingly call success and create a better definition that reflects well-being and a more balanced way of life?

4 billion years and still alive. Great! Means, there is always a way out of a problem!
