What is the Monkeysphere?

Post by wizardofid »

A good read not that I agree with every thing...

"One death is a tragedy. One million deaths is a statistic."
-Kevin Federline

What do monkeys have to do with war, oppression, crime, racism and even e-mail spam? You'll see that all of the random a$$-headed cruelty of the world will suddenly make perfect sense once we go Inside the Monkeysphere.

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

Interesting... I have quite a few problems with the conclusions drawn though. The author goes from systematically and skillfully describing the scenario we're in, but then reverts to thumb-sucking for his proposed solutions.

But I guess that's because, like he said, there are no simple solutions.

You are busy judging the merits of an article on cracked.com

You have more problems than you realize.

I'd like to round up all chimps and have them executed. They are 4 times stronger than us - and 7 times smarter than D3PART3D.

Gosh. I sometimes wonder about when you're just messing with me and when you're being serious - you are both a very humorous and a very honest person. Anyway, I am very aware of my messy mental state, and I didn't take note of which site the article was on and didn't see the book at the bottom. *ego saved*

Some wise guy once said that as long as you worry about going crazy you're still fine. It's when you stop worrying when the trouble starts...
