EC, I try to learn something new every day.

And I live in a community with 5 billion dollar metal deposits within a 50 mile radius of my house, so mines are not exactly scarce-lol. In fact when I was young, I walked through miles and miles of the tunnels of the AJ mine.

And given your prodigious amount of knowledge, I would expect you to be the last person to chide one for having an interest in learning and sharing that interest with others.

When I was young I figured out that almost everything my society was teaching me was either flat wrong or primitive thinking.

I decided I wanted to understand as much as I could about my existence and the universe I lived in before I die.

When I was just nineteen I remember clearly going to my local library to learn about our evolution as a species.

THERE WAS NOTHING SUBSTANTIVE!! there was a bit of information about Piltdown man and musings about the missing link that was really never missing.

I followed the story of our evolution carefully as the information developed.

First with some silly books like the one which claimed we were killer apes and then more sophisticatged books like the Naked Ape and territorial Imperative.

Then on to Konrad Lorenz, Leaky and finally my hero Donald Johansen. Now of course there is a plethora of information.

While I was figuring that out philosophy was another thing to figure out. I had to cross the atlantic ocena for that one. And of course discovering existentialism was like discovering King solomens mine to me.

So after those questions are answered to some degree where does one go next. The universe and existence itself of course; and as I was exploring that, I stumbled across quantum physics.

To me, discovering quantum physics, was like the perfect poetic ending of a life's quest for answers because the theories say everything imaginable is possible.

And that even god himself can never, ever know anything with 100% certainty.

So curiosity will always reign supreme and the gods and sentient beings of the universe will never get bored.
