Re: Don Bauder Aug. 22, 2015 @ 4:05 p.m. "Twister: Except homo [sic] sapiens are [sic] likely to kill themselves off before Nature gets around to doing it. Best, Don Bauder" Beware, the Homo sapiens singularity might be near . . . And Nature (God) is neutral, indifferent--frankly doesn't give a damn.) Where in the Hell do you think the expression comes from? Extinction comes about in wondrously varied ways, from asteroid impacts, to climate change, to "busts" (usually preceded by extra-large booms, depending upon context), to just being old-fashioned and context changes away from those required by the organism, nay, sometimes deadly to it. This last actually covers all the preceding, but I didn't want to stretch too far beyond the familiar. Some crash suddenly, some dwindle over very long (to us) periods. The most unusual thing about Homo sap. is that "he," like maggots, "thinks" (as in believes) that more is always better. There is no real concept of sufficiency, of enough. So this wise sap thinks he can escape even farther from the laws of Nature by using culture to escape evolutionary pressures the way "he" has for the last, say, ten or fifteen thousand years. There have been bottlenecks, but "he" has narrowly avoided extinction--so far. But the next bottleneck may be a fatal snare and delusion. The population will be large, and genetic diversity will be wide, but barely an inch (or a silly millimeter?) deep. A slight shift in the composition of atmospheric gasses, a nuclear "accident" that compounds out of "control," or some Dr. Strangelove pushing the initial button--you know, those kinds of things, could bring about a big, big crash in the H. sap. population BIG TIME. "We" would be lucky to have conditions as good as those illustrated by "A Boy and His Dog." Every God has his apoplectic/Apocalyptic day, eh? In so many ways the context is likely to change beyond our genetic model, however wide it might be. But be of good cheer—“after all,” as Scarlett said, “tomorrow is another day. [we’ll] think about that tomorrow.” (Apologies Margaret Mitchell) Best of all POSSIBLE worlds, Tw PS: See Wylie, Philip. Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow— August 22, 2015 9:51 p.m.

And here's a corrected copy of this quote: "Nature [God] has shrugged off countless species in the history of the earth, and she will shrug off Homo sap[iens] with no more regard than any she has any of the others." --Louis B. Ziegler— August 22, 2015 6:31 p.m.
