the fact that it is. What makes human comprehension (as clouded as it is) so special?
If there is life on other planet it seems to live along just fine without humanity (atleast it would appear that it doesnt need us to know about it to live)
of course with out humanity non of this would mean anything it would not have even occurred. Which brings me to this question does knowing or not knowing (that is are events in the universe only important because we comprehend or witness them) give meaning to an event. The tree and the forest ohh the dead horse how now you catch a beating.
change of subject
without the development of the concept of evil would man have still allowed itself to do the evil it has done. I know this is cryptic so... Appartently species governed by instinct do not commit evil acts. We have the abaility to suppress instinct ergo the capacity to commit evil (no need to tell me that this allows us to do other things i know) the depths of that evil also seem to deepen over time. So as the concept of evil has evovlved so has the "evilness" of our actions I wonder if it is the social concept that actually allows an individual to do evil? Any thoughts?
