taking an anit-biotic you even kill friendly organisms within your body. I also wonder if a Buddhist feels somewhat concerned when he takes a walk outdoors at the risk of trampling on and killing ants. I admire Buddhism above other religions, but I know only a little about it and would like to know more in the areas mentioned.

Examples:
1. periodically, systems are "upgraded".
but organisation X sometimes loses some of the earlier gains it had made.
if the losses are very very minor compared with the gains, this can work.
but you'd need automated tools to trawl the earlier systems, checking that all "intelligence" has been captured in the current system.

2. you'd need a system that allows reliable development.

For the analytic philosophers who are going to point out to me that my question is a contradiction in terms, replace impossible with "seemingly impossible"!

An enemy that IS you? Or is so much a part of you that you think it is you? (I call it an enemy because sometimes I find myself doing things that are detrimental to my well being; if you ask me why I just did that, I wouldn't have a good reason to give you!)

I was just wondering what your opinion was. Do YOU think the world will still have nature and all the other stuff? Like Because of Global Warming and Animal Extinction what do you think the world will be like by 2031? If animals go extinct then there will be no meat. If nature is destroyed there will be no fruits,vegetables,wood, basicly no life. What do you think will happen by then?

My cousin is reading Rand. I told him his time would be better spent reading Plato, Kant and Wittgenstein.

They are: 1. Who are we. 2. What are we. 3. And why are we here in this world. I bet someone, somewhere, knows these answers intuitively or otherwise, but keeps stocking them away in the corner of his or her mind. Please feed me with some answers. Thanks.

I'm very interested to hear alot of opinions regarding freedom.

What is freedom?
How does it feel to be free?
Freedom comes at a cost?
Imagine experiencing no freedom what so ever... Ouch.

I'm doing it by asking that question instead of: "Does your heart break if there's no one there to hear it?". Hearts are like trees, and, for all tonight, at least for tonight, feed it and let it grow for all to hear.
