A thought I had in the shower...

panic in paradise said:
marijuana is unique in the way that, as seedlings, giving them "Red" light will produce more Males, "Blue" light will produce more Females.


they retain light like a Camel retains water, Marijuana has also been studied more then any other plant in existence, but.


dont as what?
demand Why?

I meant the last part about cockroach in our DNA and "morphing into the future..."
 
"And then I realized this plant was pretty much was pointless for millions of years until a species came along sophisticated enough"

This is exactly the type of thinking that makes humans so god damn stupid. Please don't take offense from that, it is universally human thinking that we all have indulged in or continue to do so. Just because we can't see a point to something until we bring it into our worldview doesn't mean it is pointless. The Cannabis plant is a unique plant, but a plant none the less. It is merely coincidental that it has so many uses to us. There is probably a plant out there that has many different uses to another species that we will never be aware of.. to us it seems pointless, to that other species it is very important.

Cannabis is just another idea being expressed. It just is. Whatever meaning we attach to it is secondary to its primary reality.
 
^that thought, there are many plants and herbs, that we will never know the benefits of. we are not to keep digging, Sherlock is a prankster.

because there are bits, of Gooey Stretchy Light, in deep space that actually cuts through us, causing 'Radio-Active' damage. the damage takes time to add up and causes a disruption in our Chromosomal/Cellular Make-Up.
there is more to this.

why did you post the op?

i hate to assume but i have to assume that you did it, at least in part, because you wanted others' opinions of your idea? did you only want people to respond who agreed with the idea or thought it was awesome? if you initiate a discussion online, you're going to get a spectrum of opinions - some in agreement, some in disagreement and some something else.

perhaps you need to learn to take comments online less personally and also accept that, if you ask for opinions online, you're going to get them.

"marijuana" has a pretty sweet effect on the immune-system, i can testify to that, why does it?
idk for sure, the pituitary gland plays a sizable role in the course of AutoImmune+DissO-rders, the adrenal endocrine system and more, each part of the quadrant of the pituitary gland has plays a massive role in how we function, as a whole.
:-/
there are others things that we ingest which cause negative changes in its function...^
 
panic: It doesn't necessarily take time to 'add up' damage. Rather, given a particular organism, it's particular complexity and DNA-base-pair replication errorrate and DNA repair mechanisms (which are usually related to life-span and selection pressures), a certain timespan must occur before a significant chance will have accumulated that a deleterious mutation will occur (such a mutation of p53, a gene that codes for a tumor suppression protein) that threatens the life of that organism.

APAP/acetaminophen probably also has an effect on the immune system, given that it's primary metabolite is a CB2 agonist. This doesn't mean that APAP has some special purpose in this universe.
Hell, WIN 55,212-2 does, for the same reason. But this was created by humans.

no it doesnt, but this also does not mean you do not either.

^time is only mostly bad, when we worry about it, then try thinking too far ahead-of-ourselves.

tsk: staying stuck, thinking back is not very good either.

if we think together, we will each have more time to think.

I would say that humans are pretty fucking special in the scheme of things. There is life all around us on earth, but no other form of life has given rise to an emergent intelligence and a cohesive whole anywhere close to humans. The fact that random molecules and bits of matter and energy can come together and give rise to a being which has consciousness is pretty fucking wild.

What about dolphins? The level of intelligence they display is on par if not better than humans, and they don't crap up their own environment like we do. I would challenge the idea we've achieved a cohesive whole.. i think it's something we'd like to believe is true but actually is far from it. And special? That's a bold assumption..
 
it's because they aren't smart enough to fuck up their environment, so we do it for them. I know dolphins are smart, but be serious. This isn't Johnny Mnemonic, here - Humans are by far and away the most intelligent creatures in the world.

I would say we have the greatest potential for intelligence out of all the species on this planet, but currently we are far from the most intelligent. We destroy our own habitat, we are sexually degenerate, we kill for pleasure, and we've lost the ability to recognize what we really are in the scheme of things.. but we do have an ability no other species has, the ability to rationalize our behaviour and pretense as "normal" or "intelligent".
 
The fact that you can even conceive of our behavior as a species is a testament to our intelligence.

Aether, I never precluded the possibility of more intelligent beings in the universe... but we are certainly the most intelligent on planet earth.... we have near complete dominion over the planet and the animals which inhabit it. As soon as another species challenges us for that, I will concede the point.
 
I agree, humans are without a doubt the most intelligent organisms on the planet Earth.

All the arguments regarding our behaviors which adversely affect the ecology and social constructs of our planet are irrelevant.

We, as humans, utilize our intelligence to advance ourselves (even in misguided endeavors).
This is what makes us the most intelligent species, and why we are dominant on Earth.
 
Humans are quite intelligent, however like most self aware organisms they have a subjective view of intelligence.
Dolphins much vaunted as creatures of intelligence may only be living within their environment because they lack opposable thumbs and the sea would tend to be resistant to farming given that it moves a lot compared to the land.
If we lived in the sea I'm sure we'd be considered as clumsy morons by sea mammals & rightly so, how can one compete when the context of the competition is changed.
When and if we learn to gentically alter animals to allow them to speak it will be very interesting to listen to the exchange of views between the species.

How is it irrelevant? This is why humans are not the most intelligent because we're the only species that soils their own environment, putting our survival as a species in danger (and others), and then go on to rationalize it away as nothing significant. That makes us stupid, not intelligent.

It has nothing to do with intelligence. Is it really feasible that any animal decides not to replicate because it would harm the environment, or that cats bury their excrement because they are aware they might spread contagious diseases or parasites if they wouldn't? Besides, there are tons of animals out there that destroy their environment, much like humans. For instance, look at the devastating impact of the introduction of rabbits into Australia.

What you describe is more a display of egocentrism and denial than stupidity, if you ask me.
