"All it takes is one technology – Artificial Intelligence, brain-computer interfaces, or perhaps something unforeseen – that advances to the point of creating smarter-than-human minds.

That one technological advance is the equivalent of the first self-replicating chemical that gave rise to life on Earth."

Humans will evolve physically but will not progress intellectually until they learn to control their primitive emotions and to rely on logic for their decision making. Sounds Star Treky I know but it's true.

Some believe a new DNA energy field emanating from the center of the galaxy and will sweep across the planet influencing an upgrade of our DNA and causing future offspring to be a new and improved species of human.

who believes that jeannie?


Many spiritualists do.

My favorite guy is David Wilcox, reincarnation of Edger Cayce, or so he believes.

David Wilcox founder of the of the Divine Cosmos Website (divinecosmos.com) and author of 'The Law of One'

Here is one of his videos: He has many videos. I have not watched them all.

I have heard that some think that the structure of matter can change or be changed.

i saw a show a bout 8 years ago about this.super smart machines called computer gods that would make decisions for everybody.kinda like google does now only the first page would be your only choice.im sure they meant just those that wernt super rich.it would depend on who programs the machines to what the outcome would be.i dont agree with most of the choices made today by the gp so this would not work well for me.when making a choice wouldnt it be better to look at all the answers than just the top 2 before making a good choice.









i found out the secret

You're funny.

Sometimes decisions are pretty trivial, and if we could google the problem (Ha ha) and find a solution on google I might try it.

Thinking and making decisions takes a lot of energy. If a computer can come up with a solution real fast, that would be handy.

Of course people will still have to decide to follow the advice. But if the advice always turned out for the best then they might learn to follow it.

I don't think saccharin is bad for you. The only study they ever did on it was to give a mouse a huge over dose of it.

When aspartame,SPLENDA®/sucralose came out, I had a bad feeling about them, even when they swore that they were safe, and even when they kept shouting warnings about saccharin.

I don't use splenda or aspartame or drink any soda with that in it. I still use saccharin and have been for many years. I'm 62 and very healthy.

my aunt used that alot to. its probably not as bad as splenda or aspartame.it seems the new healthy alternative gets worse for you as they improve them.my aunt lived to her 70s.but from what i know we all could live to be 120.theses poison additives are like smoking
they build up over time and cause many health problems but so does old age.

i use stevia now and it is not without its warnings.but i feel its the best choice for me.they have 20 different alt sugars here.the only one i was using went out of business.it was 50% pure cane sugar
50% stevia.i still grow it but its hard to extract.i would rather not buy it in the store at all.unless i could be sure about how it was made.dextrose is in alot of them.sweet n low has it too but i dont think it did 20 years ago.

the gov spent alot of money telling people to drink milk.now we have a warning label on all gallons.

they tell people soy is a health food

call me parinoid but i dont trust studys done by the same people that are going to make tons of money on a product.

people look for name brands and they own all of them

here is the one i trust.

You grow stevia or cane and make your own sugar? How do you do that?

I have stevia also, but I don't like it as much as sweet n low.

you can grow it (stevia)it loves lots of water and light.i have mine in a big self watering pot and have kept it over the winter with a florescent grow light.cool white.you can harvest 2-3 times a year.cut off stems leaves dry in paper bag.grind up leaves. you have green powder.you can refine the sweet part with acetone but im not doing that.you can use the powder for baking.the made grain alcohol illegal where i live so i cant extract it that way.cane sugar wont grow here.pittsburgh pa.they sell stevia in the stores and internet but i wont be using that.my brand was suncrytals and now their gone.im looking for a new stevia source with no luck.i havent really used much of the fresh leaves yet other than chewing on them.

it took me a while to acquire the taste. now when i use reg sugar i say yuck.im having trouble finding normal priced pure cane sugar now too.i also use molasses.
