	title of this thread your message This super gigantic TV the arm-folded man stands resolutely in front of is most likely teeming with nano technology. We can rephrase the basic question in so many ways. When did nano become better? When did efficiency become better? When did green become better? When did greed become better? When did spin, psy-ops and propaganda become better? When did using voting machines that are hackable become better? I have pondered the crux of your question many times and I think you stated the question the most concisely that I have heard. My best guess at present is this: evolution produces creatures that do things because they can. We do not ask of a dog: when did barking become better? We accept that a dog barks, because that is what dogs do. We do, after our pet is hit by a car, sometimes have to ask sadly, "Why do dogs have to chase cars?" Though I appreciate the vast differences between dogs and humans, I have a hunch that most of what humans do they do because they can; i.e., it is in our evolutionary legacy to try just about anything we can try and rationalize trying it before, during and after, with whatever reasons we find expedient. Otherwise, I don't see how one can explain the endless chain of really stupid, often heinous and evil things that human beings do, especially in groups. For what its worth, I think this huge TV also appeals to the evolutionary legacy of vision. Evolution has produced humans with a keen sense of vision and a voracious appetite for what can be seen. In nature, without the aid of microsopes, telescopes, television, etc., a human's field of vision is often very constrained. And yet our species became hard wired to seek the high ground of vision to survive. Hence, I suspect we find it very hard to help ourselves, when it comes to BIG TVs and the like, even though what they show is largely garbage. But this is only a guess and I always skeptical of using the theory of evolution beyond its data set, as I kind of am here. It is always wise to recall the abuse of evolution by the social Darwinists. So Caveat Emptor. associated web images (optional) associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
