August 15, 201015 yr I was thinking "what are you thinking right now":P Given the instantaneous nature of thoughts and the transience of the moment, only a neuroscientist and a physicist given the best of equipment and research time could even come close to knowing that for any of us. But in the general sense, I was thinking many things, some too complex to describe here. If one multiplies the probabilities of us being here, using such sophisticated technologies that our advanced civilizations could produce, all the events that had to happen for us to reach this level, all the odds of intelligent life with such excellent tool, language, and cultural development to occur, life occurring in the first place, planet earth's position being just right, exact star intensity, just right magnetic shield, etc. - we might be the one in a zillion at this moment in time, perhaps the only one of a kind in the universe.. or maybe not. It's an intriguing thing to ponder! Is clay the template, or just concentrated organic compounds clumping together? Or something else from which life arose? Then I realized that it is through cooperation and specialization that we are reach our peaks of achievement; to neglect one are is to diminish our full capacity. Given the chance, prosperity and progress can lift people out of poverty, and change the world. All it takes is opportunity, and we have the resources to do it - poverty can be virtually eliminated from this Earth if we choose, and we all stand to gain when that happens.
