You have no choice but to be for genetic engeneering, otherwise, some day, a large beefed up geneticaly altered bully is gonna smash your face.

I'm not sure people below 2 years old would complain if they were the only ones not allowed to vote... But I know I would :)

You have to draw a line somewhere. Sadly we can't make an entire population take a political evaluation test to see if they are mature enought to vote. You might very well be more aware than many older/better people and more informed about your political disposition.

You have a valid point, I don't know if you'll still be able to vote when you'll be 18 :)

I beg to differ.

Its all a matter of interpretation. The principles of steam powered engines were knowned to the ancients greeks, only they had loads of slaves and never saw the necessity of automatisation. The mathematics of moon landings was known since Newton. Black Holes for instance exist in our theories since early 19th century.

the only thing that's exponential is human population; we went from 1 to 6 billion in a single century.

I think that we only see history differently, maybe. I see it as a flow, not as fragmented moments.

98%... I have the ability to remember almost any little piece of information that enables me to somehow make me look smarter... sorry about that..,

and we aso share 60% of our DNA structure with fungus... althought that's completely out of topic... sorry again.

Progress, at the scale you are suggesting, doesn't really exists. There is no exponential rate of discoveries. Our concept of time, for instance, and I mean linear time, comes from the christian concept of creation/apocalypse. Any other references to time only speak of it as a neverending cycle. Linear time went from religion to science in a few thousand years and now we have history and relativity.

What I mean is that it does take millenias to have a civilisation like our own. The others didn't just vanish ; they evolved, they merged. Catholicism is a good example of such mergure : a faith from the middle east embraced the monastic life of the old egyptian orders and work under the same hierarchic principle as the roman empire.

Our opinions are all somewhat based on centuries of human developements. I'm not saying there coundn't be advanced ancient civilisation I just take my distance and preferto say that they are highly improbable.

So anyway...imagine if where there now is mostly land, there once was mostly water. Imagine that where our oceans currently are, there was at one time populated land.

not exactly so, the contiments are more or less always above sea level. Regardless where the poles are. And that's fringe science amyway, relying more on beliefs than facts which puts this science closer to religions :)

Completely unimaginable? Shit, ask science why don't you.

Humans need a set of dogma to rule their lives. We don,t even have a choice on that one. What we have a choice on though is the set of rules. All of them make us capable of interfacing with the world, all of them require faith, none have all the answer. Christianity, Islam, taoism, science and capitalism to name a few all rely on a set of intangible rules that have only faith as founding. Even atheism is an act of faith.

to learn the lessons of history

you'll be stuck with smart n00bs.

as one friend late at ST-Jean a few years back:

VIVE LE QUÉBEC IVRE !!

Very sad... you can buy yourself a little flag with the extra money you made. You know, to keep the spirit, or spirits...

Sometimes I think we have to much of them in MTL...

you sound drunk lol have you been out partying too hard?

I'm quite fine really. I'm just happy when someone ask about our history. Though the other guy's post was maybe a bit more relevant...

and about what you said thechnicaly Canada wasn't idenpendant in 1867. We were a Dominion under british rule which mean that we had complete control over our internal policies but our international relations were still going through London. Its only after the 2nd world war that UK gave us full idenpendance.

no but an interferometer can be built to analyse the atmosphere of extra solar planets. it could see if there is life on those planets but couldn't quite tell us what it would look like.
That's not star trek but at least it's something.

this revolution of yours doesn't have to be an armed one.
Eventualy the people who see the necessity of a major reform will be in power.

yeah well, you know their opinions count too.
