"What is life?" Life is a specific amount of time based on four principles: Love, Wealth, Happiness and Health. Using our own strengths we're guided by these principles to be our best selves. Unfortunately, most people waste that time, working in a job they don't like, being in a relationship that's not suited for them, complaining about having no money, etc, etc. Working on the above four principles, people can work towards improving them and giving themselves a better life overall. | |||

"Did peasants in the middle ages perform oral sex on each other? I mean they washed weekly (at best) and there must have been some serious knob cheese and fanny fish going on then.

There are some smells that humans just don't like (e.g. rotten meat) because any human that liked the smell got lost in evolution... | |||

Kissing with rotten teeth must have been pretty rank too, if you had good teeth, but if your teeth were also rotten then you wouldn't have tasted the difference. | |||

Not to mention their breath..." In the Middle Ages it was assumed that a woman needed to orgasm in order to conceive. Oral must've played a big part in sex. Perhaps if everyone stank, no one noticed. | |||

"Why do we always yearn for what we do not have? Why do we worry so much instead of making the most of each day? (And a more personal one) Why do some men stop being interested in sex with their wives after they give birth to their child? (And no, he did not see anything that could have traumatised him) " That is a psychological thing. We always want something which we cannot have or still don't have. Once we have it we lose the value of it. | |||

There are some creature which are rubbish at surviving but just manage to suffer long enough often they get by with have vast numbers of offspring most of whom are eaten or can't feed A part of human evolution I am only just beginning to grasp is psychological evolution and how words and memes interact with biological evolution | |||

What stops drones doing it is policy rather than technology. I completely forgot about this thread ![]() Well sure, they would because it has multiple applications beyond drones. Drones are from the same technology family tree as missiles. Whilst the cold war raged and the super powers prioritised missile research, it was Israel who mastered the use of drones to devestating effect against Syria in 82 from memory. Then the rest of world remebered their potential! Right now the only significant differences between drones and traditional fighter jets is that the pilot isn't at risk and drones cost about 5% of a jet! Drone usage continued to increase under the Obama Administration... What the future will hold, your guess is as good as mine. The traffic is all one way at the moment though and a future battlefield could look a lot like a terminator movie! Terrorists don't fight pitched battles, they just try and kill enough soldiers to destroy the political will to fight. So the attractiveness of drones to politicians is quite straight forward. | |||

"How intelligent would artificial intelligence have to become before reaching the conclusion that humans should be removed from earth, as we're beyond help and will destroy much of it? " I suspect that if some one asked Watson if jumans are dangerous to them selves and or the planet, it would not take it long to conclude that we are. So I would say AI is already capable of answering that question. The question then becomes how long before someone asks. Owl. | |||

From there it is inevitable that some future generation of such a system will become concious. It is only human arogance that believes we are the only objects capable of concious thought. Owl | |||
