It's actually not a negative view on humanity, so much as a fundamental fact of being physical beings. I was alluding to the four dimensional structure of space-time, among other things, which is literally impossible to comprehend. It's like trying to jam a bowling ball into a box of matches without removing the matches or something.
Actually people CAN deny things that science has shown are as logical and backed up with fact as things can be, and we call this Creationism.
4 dimensional space-time is not too difficult to comprehend; the fact that we can't picture an 4D object does not mean we can't derive how it works. Cults denying science will come over eventually. Take the catholic church and the earth rotating around the sun businness. Well, your first point was that we are assuming the universe is limited.
Therefor, if we have an infinite amount of time, we don't get wiped out, and our knowledge isn't lost (meaning we keep improving, and don't have to worry about some wierd accident where all knowledge is lost) there should be no reason for us to not eventually know everything. Even if we did lose what we knew, with an infinite amount of time and our survival, we should be able to eventually get there.[ Nothing if the amount of knowledge is infinite.

I cuncur with ivan. Not only is there just plain too damn much to understand, great yonks of it are simply beyond human comprehension.
That's a rather negative view on humanity. What if we evolve in more intelligent creatures? Plus, check out our scientific progress in the past 1000 years... Or if we do know everything there is to know in a few hundred thousand years from now (assuming the human species is still around), we will always think that there is more that we can know. Thats not right. If science can prove this is all there is in our universe, than this is all there is, and nobody can deny it. Vigorous scientists might pursue alternatives, but if something works all the time and everywhere in every state, then science is done. Even religion will be banished then.

(Assuming the universe is limited)
Will we, at any time in our future, know everything there is to know? About physics, health, pickles, etc etc? Or will there be new explorations to pursue time after time?
Being as student physics myself, I know we derive things with merely approximations on how things work. Like gravitation; first it was Archimedes who found out that object with greater weight fall quicker. Galileo discovered that resistance is the cause of difference in fall speed. Newton then quantitized gravitation, who was corrected again by Einstein's general relativity.
Were does this stop? Will we ever know the TRUTH how things work, exactly?

Borat is absolutely great. He is shouldnt be equalled to Ali G; that is another character of Cohen's.
Anyway, I've seen it last Thursday and I laughed and laughed and laughed. I was allready a fan of Borat from his series. I don't want to ruin the fun for you if you still didnt see it, so I'm not going to name particularly hilarious scenes, but some were truly unique.
Wowoweewa!

My cat answers to "Rakker". If she wishes to, at least.

but, we need to plan for a long time in advance. procrastination is never looked upon as a good thing.
Agreed, but first is the need to get to a global "we". If we can't cooperate on our home basis, we can never cooperate in space.

Space will come. Eventually. Why send out human beings on a dangerous exploration mission to mars when we have the ICT to do it by machine? The NASA should not take unnecesary risks. It'd be cool to go to venus and ship gasses we are in need for production. But, again, machinery could be able to solve it for the great part. And we'd better terraform earth we're its needed instead of focussing on other planets allready.

Lol, right, sorry. Though apparently they expect big fireworks from this topic from us. Let's just bugger them and have peace, shall we?

It's survival of the fittest, isn't it? You've got a bigger chance to survive if you have more food/water/money/love/pickles. So greed is good for oneself.

Its honorable because it wants equal prosperity for all. I don't think there is, if we weren't the greedy and lazy bastards we are, a better way to divide wealth.

The goverment type which believes that modern technology and a government organized on a scientific basis can lead to a society of abundance.

Take a cat that should be plump: and cut its throat, and once it is dead cut off its head, and throw it away for this is not to be eaten; for it is said that he who eats the brains will lose his own sense and judgement. Then skin it very cleanly, and open it and clean it well; and then wrap it in a clean linen cloth and bury it in the earth where it should remain for a day and a night; then take it out and put it on a spit; and roast it over the fire, and when beginning to roast, baste it with good garlic and oil, and when you are finished basting it, beat it well with a green branch; and this should be done until it is well roasted, basting and beating; and when it is roasted carve it as if it were rabbit or kid and put it on a large plate; and take the garlic with oil mixed with good broth so that it is coarse, and pour it over the cat and you can eat it for it is a good dish.

Great topic.
We live together on this bunch of clay and we must be able to make general decisions if humanity is to survive. Force the system, if necessary. I strongly believe a controlled technocracy is way better than a selfdestroying anarchy.

What's that? The Netherlands is out, so we can't beat them at the World Cup finale anymore

They are nouns, aren't they? All nouns are capitilized in German. I'm sorry jeee, but that is basic elementary German!

If you call the spelling change in 1996 recent, yes.

Really jeee, I've looked up all the words I corrected, and checked their spelling. All of them are correctly written.

This thread insults my intelligence. >.< 1 is not a prime number, and it never will be...
1 does actually follow the definition of a prime number, that it can only be divided by itself and 1. Yes 1 is forcefully excluded from the prime list, but I think that is not right in principle.
