Ours is the only planet we know of that is hospitable to life. We are also the only “intelligent” life in the universe as far as we have searched. Knowing that, as well as we do I want to argue that we are not that “intelligent” after all and in fact our planet is rather a ”dumb” one!
Look around you, your building elevator is missing the number 13, so was the row number 13 in the airplane I took last month. 13 is a very very “bad” number!! Bad things happen to you if you are associated with number 13 in any shape and form!!!!
Of course no one exactly knows why. The poor number is one of the primes, what else is its fault?!!
I am amazed how many different cultures have this “Knock on the wood” concept?! You acknowledge something good about someone an then you knock on the wood! What the hell is that supposed to mean? We all carry laptops, cell phone other high tech gadgets but still keep knocking the wood!! What is the problem with us?
How many people you know who believe in astrology? Man has walked on the moon, robots are landing on the Mars and we still believe in that kind of stuff!! Just because you are born at the time when seemingly sun was in the middle of an illusion across the sky called constellation does not make you any different from others!!! beyond that are you saying we have just only 12 different kind of idiots on this planet not more?!! All of this in the face of Sequencing of human Genome?! Try saying that to thousands of people who look into these stuff to find out clues about their life and future and romance and so on. I read somewhere that coach of French soccer national team crossed out all the “Pisces” players from the roaster to win the world cup!
Not sure what was Zidane’s sign?
Look further. Not too far though. See people who worship cows, those who are waiting for the “End of the world” and give you exact time and day (They have revised that quite few times already!!). Yet these are folks who live in major cities and centers of the civilizations in the world. I am not even talking about what people believe in forests of Amazon or tribes of Africa.
Why are we still so ignorant in the face of mind blowing scientific achievements in space science, communication, biology, etc?
If I got you thinking, ask me why?
