Embracing your "Doctor Who", or Are we Timelords?

I know my ideas a little fanciful, but is it sound logic?

Here to learn

I agree about the longer lifespans, not so much about the happiness., which I firmly believe can affect the survivability of the species for sure!

So we've adapted ourself to a closed loop system where if we were to lose the social construct of "modern society" we'd be fuXked

Hi Arachne,
I agree with above posters, and perhaps go further than them by suggesting the following:

Your initial post actually suggests sentience on the part of nature somehow dictating evolution.
"DNA now has the opportunity to express itself"...

DNA does not express itself. It is coded information. Now, theists might suggest that the fact that DNA is coded implies a master code maker creating the code, but whatever you may believe, DNA itself is not expressing itself, because strings of DNA are not sentient.

You later say "Maybe this is mother natures way of Forcing us to mature in a way that works for her."

While you may concievably be using "mother nature" as a metaphor, the previous sentence does rather imply the notion that "Mother Nature" is some sort of deity that controls the fate of human kind. Why not just say "Gaia" instead of "Mother Nature", or "God," or "Goddess", or even "aliens from outer space"?

In other words, you need to sit and think about whether you are speaking as a scientist, or a religionist. I do know the two are not necessarily exclusive, but messed up as your thoughts are on this, it might help you to decide what is science in your "theory" and what is religion.

For the record, I'm a "religionist", with some scientific training, but have the sense not to claim any expertise on "scientific" matters, since linguistics is my main thing.

You don't sound like an A hole, more like a thinker.

I'm really tired, and have to go to bed now, or I'd probably talk all night to you, but I'll check in here tomorrow to see where you're up to, and hopefully have some more stuff to chat to you about.

Goodnight!

I have been delving into the nature of existence and my fascination with both dimensional physics and psychoanalysis and sustainable living are crossing paths on too many levels to not freak me out a little.

the two previous posters contradicted their arguments by saying that reproduction would predominate the selection process for evolutionary adaptation, and then stated we don't get laid a lot. (just kidding)

I'm not sure what you mean by dimensional physics, "sustainable" living merely delays the inevitable, and psychoanalysis was soundly rejected by educated people before either of us were born.

Sorry Orwell my sloppy use of possibly incorrect terminology
those were generalized statements to change the nature of the conversation.
By dimensional physics I mean I am keenly interested in string and M theory, multiple universe, etc. My personal life is drifting towards the sustainable living movement, and by Psycho-Analasis I'm self describing my personal habit of over analyzing ALL the people in my environment to the Nth degree, A friend of mine calls me a "profiler" I was in Law Enforcement for some of my life and was very good at it, I just couldn't deal with all the crap.
My friends can get quite annoyed at my habit of over-analyzing them, especially if I'm right more than half the time. lol
Innately I'm an obsessive problem solver, and fascinated by interconnectivity especially in social systems. and this one has me stuck, I was coming to this forum because I assumed that of anybody, the collective expertise of a whole community of AS and "outside the Box" thinkers would help me to fine tune some of my thought processes.

I really do appreciate everyones patience and I'm trying not to test it.

I understand how that could be confusing.
You appear to be a stickler, what is your Super power if I might ask?
(I hate it when people ask me what is my tick, I prefer super power, it's more um, empowering)


I'm afraid I don't see the contradiction. Evolution (or more specifically natural selection) depends on reproductive success, and autistics commonly have limited reproductive success. Ergo, autism is not selected for.

And this was a joke,

should I keep beating this dead horse.
