Good points but what is evolving that is deemed important? These physicists do leave behind more advanced information which you can kind of see us as. We evolve to carry down our code. They, as we all do, transfer code and carry it to others. We learn, we find code which is advantageous for this...

I didn't say the truth brings problems, I meant the problems are the truth. They are inherent in the construct of the universe. Starving kids are a reality, a truth. But if you had kids, you would care for them more, make them a priority. And don't tell me it would be your duty. You don't...

See, you see deceit as a 'problem'. When I just view it as an everyday occurrence. The truth can bring problems also. If you saw all truths, you would be overwhelmed. There's starving kids out there, people that for some reason, lack the facilities to look out for themselves. But you don't care...

And hence why I express uncertainty, because I'm not entirely ruling that out either.

As Astronuc stated, not in the US, generally. Though in some places, like small towns that I live in, it used to be legal more than five years ago. And generally, if you are being supervised by a licensed Electrician, it's legal. I used to 'run wire' for a guy when building houses and he had...

I'd agree but I don't think this is one of them, at least, in the whole.

Brilliant!, as I explained before, you are only seeing the part of the truth which is beneficial for you, which is not the whole truth. Just as others would tell a white lie because they see it beneficial. Perhaps their part of the truth is logically valid but it is still deceit because they...

Disagree. :smile: For every cause, at least insofar as we can tell, there has to be an effect. We have these feelings for some reason. I guess we apparently have some evolutionary trash such as appendixes and such but something emotionally complex as nostalgic feelings, imho, seem to have a...

Brilliant!, I can agree that there's hypocrisy involved and certainly like others to tell me what's really on their mind. I can take the truth a lot better than a white lie, no matter how bad. But I disagree in that you seem to view your side as the only right side and that it's not natural...

I'd say because the past is known, it's easy to take comfort viewing it. It makes us happy and gives us positive feelings which are beneficial for survival. About the good things in life and what paths we should look to do find happiness. We can look back and know what was before and maybe a...

It seems dissatisfaction is the precursor to curiosity. Do we ask ourselves when we're having a good time with our significant other, 'why am I doing this'? Likely not, though you've probably asked yourself at work the same question. It seems intelligence, an intellectual sensitivity, can go...

I'd disagree too about having children but that's just my opinion. If our purpose is to take our code and hand it down to more generations, then taking different forms of code which are handed down, such as information, all that we learn, is essentially the same. Our verbal codes are handed...

"We don't know". I think that's the answer you're looking for. I'm not sure any more needs to be said. There's no great answer that I know of that says you have to have a purpose. If you don't feel motivated, I guess you don't feel motivated. I'm not going to give you any sugar-coated crap about...

Science is all about deception just as well as everything else including results. If I were selling a product and only told you the side which was beneficial to me, then you could be fooled because I didn't tell you all about it or only the side of it that is considered positive. Science is the...

I'm a Carpenter. Everyone seems to be in a related field. I was thinking there would be more here who maintain their scientific interests part-time.
