Making the news today....

[TIMON]

They're already here Mick. They've been here for 18,500 times longer than we have.
 

 
No planning has gone into this situation of course, bacteria have no 'intent' that we know of, and evolution through natural selection is blind. 
 
Certainly food for thought though.

I suppose we must have been very, very lucky to have hit the evolutionary jackpot then VI!

Each seperate spin is random Ti, but when each of gazillions of spins are non randomly selected for by the environment over time, you end up with complexity from simplicity.

 

Evolution is often misunderstood as being a process of chance. Genetic mutation is chance but the selection leading to evolution is certainly not.

No spinning here Ti. I have no agenda.

 

We each make sense of the world in the best way we can.

 

There are lots of paths to follow to reach conclusions about the universe. I would love to suggest that they are all equally valid, but I sincerely don't believe that to be the case.

Taking a slightly more 'base' view of what's making the news today...

 

They seem to have been letting her off the leash a bit more of late....

 

Are the embarrassments that seem to follow her so closely pure coincidence or the act of malicious criticism.....

 

Or is it just possible that she really is a complete liability in her own lunchbox and simply doesn't need any help....

I’m no fan of hers, but that’s the Daily Mail, I’d take it with a huge sack of salt.

Precisely.., they can’t all be right.
Not all of the paths lead up the same mountain

Is there more than one mountain? 

 

Actually, probably best we don't go there!

A reasonably agreeable difference of opinion,then. [emoji106]

Very agreeable I'd say Ti. We rarely come to blows.
