RISK-ALERT-WARNING-POSSIBLE-PROBABLE-LIKELY

///////////////IMPORTANCE OF LOCAL KNWLDGE


//////////////Sasselov concludes that the statistical argument for Fermi's Paradox "holds true only if the timescale for the emergence of life is much shorter than the age of the universe, but not so if the two are comparable."



///////////////........as the Universe is at least 13 billion years old and our solar system is merely 5 billion years old. If a habitable solar system formed merely a billion years before ours, that could mean intelligent life there got a billion year head start, in which time who knows what heights they may have reached (in a billion years they could easily colonize a whole galaxy.) If intelligent life even had just a million years head start, it could easily colonize a significant part of the galaxy, even at sub light speeds. Though I believe any such advanced species would likely have developed a warp drive.



///////////////..........are 300,000,000,000 or so planets in this Milky Way galaxy. To be able to make an assertion concerning the approximate number of planets with life on them or intelligent life, at a confidence level of 95%, with a confidence interval of 3, we would need a sample of 1,067 planets at random from all parts of the galaxy.



//////////////////DLY GLXY......CMMNTS ARE MORE INTERESTING....Humans are a wretched, destructive species whose population has gone way beyond sustainable levels, not just sustainable for humans ourselves ie having the ability to feed and house everyone but sustainable on an environmental level. There have been several extinction level events in Earth's history, humanity is the next catastrophe to strike this planet and it will result in the extinction of over 90% of all species, both plant and animal. But the Earth will recover like it has done every other time.



/////////////// that replication, heredity and evolution are possible in these alternative backbones,......XNA.....XENO NUCLEIC ACIDS


//////////////..........XNAs might form the basis of life on other planets, where different environments led to different chemistry. "I would be surprised if we find truly extraterrestrial life that was based on DNA and RNA," Holliger says. "There might have been an XNA-world on a different planet."



/////////////////there are MANY ways for life to form, we just have our version of life due to the elements we have.



//////////////////BOOTSTRAPPING-pull oneself over a fence by one's bootstraps


//////////////MATTHEW EFFECT
  • the phenomenon in sociology where "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer" WKIP

(Matthew 25:29) in the NT: "For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

Know Thyself

by Alexander Pope

Know then thyself, presume not God to scan;
The proper study of mankind is Man.
Placed on this isthmus of a middle state,
A being darkly wise and rudely great:
With too much knowledge for the Sceptic side,
With too much weakness for the Stoic's pride,
He hangs between; in doubt to act or rest,
In doubt to deem himself a God or Beast,
In doubt his mind or body to prefer;
Born but to die, and reasoning but to err;
Alike in ignorance, his reason such
Whether he thinks too little or too much:
Chaos of thought and passion, all confused;
Still by himself abused, or disabused;
Created half to rise and half to fall;
Great lord of all things, yet a prey to all;
Sole judge of truth, in endless error hurled:
The glory, jest, and riddle of the world!

ALEX POPE

//////////PREDICTABLE IRRATIONALITY



//////////////////............In sales business, there is one thing called tolerable sin. You cheat the customers on things that people would consider trivial or not too significant, but not something that would arouse people's reactions. Taking cokes out of the fridge is one thing, but taking bank notes is something that would lead to big consequences.



/////////////////MANY INTUITIONS ARE WRONG



///////////////FRNDS ARE SIMILAR IN POLITICAL IDEOLOGY THAN STRANGERS



///////////////Ecclesiastes 3 >BBL


4A time to weep and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn and a time to dance.

5A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace and a time to shun embracing.

6A time to search and a time to give up as lost;
A time to keep and a time to throw away.

7A time to tear apart and a time to sew together;
A time to be silent and a time to speak.

8A time to love and a time to hate;
A time for war and a time for peace.

9What profit is there to the worker from that in which he toils?



//////////////Sunlight pours energy on the Earth, and the energy gets converted from one form to another, in an endless cycle of life, death, and renewal.



////////////////The Sun, the hearth of affection and life, pours burning love on the delighted earth. -Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891)



///////////////..........Everything you see alive around you is there because a plant somewhere was able to capture sunlight and store it. All animals live from these plants, whether directly (as with herbivores) or indirectly (as with carnivores, which eat the herbivores). This is true of mammals, insects, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and bacteria . . .



/////////////////.........That tree is mostly made up of one of the gases in our air (carbon dioxide) and water (hydrogen and oxygen). Trees are solidified air and sunlight.


////////////////////......... plant leaves capture sunlight and use that energy to extract carbon as carbon dioxide from the air, combine it with oxygen and hydrogen from water, to form sugars and other complex carbohydrates (carbohydrates are also made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen) such as the cellulose that makes up most of the roots, leaves, and trunk.



////////////When you burn wood, the "sunlight energy" is released in the form of light and heat (from the fire).


/////////////When ancient sunlight got stored in the Earth

Around 400 million years ago, there was an era that scientists named the Carboniferous Period.

////////////////the population of the world went from 500 million people around the year 1000 to the First billion living humans in 1800.

/////////////PHYSICS ENVY- SOCIAL SC IS NOT PHYSICS-SOCIAL PHYSICS?


/////////////humility was the most strongly linked with helpfulness



//////////////////humility is strongly associated with a host of positive values, including reliable friendship, good working habits and generosity.


/////////////////EVO PSY-Humble people will be more helpful to the group because a trait that involves subsuming one’s own needs to those of others is only likely to be preserved in a species in which cooperation is necessary for survival." Humans, who generally require the help of others in thriving or raising children, are probably one such species.


////////////////IDEA TO MVMNT-Print and social media campaigns that reach out "to civic organizations, the academic community and the planning and design professions should be blasted early and often to keep the awareness and interest at a pitched level."
