Fine, with this view, we can make some progress, hopefully.
But first, the idea of "DNA is the only thing there is",
and "DNA provides the very program for ..." need to be
retracted.
You see, it is not even clea WHAT is the program,
who programs what, and what is a cause of what.
We [or rather people in YOUR profession] may observe
certain things and wonder about how amazingly flexible
and powerful it is, but once we start making assertions,
closing the doors, then we are nothing but the superpriests.
First of all, DNA is invloved in a complex process of the
growth of the organism on the PHYSICAL level.
The organism, in itself is merely a container
to facilitate the contained.
This has been understood literally thousands of years ago.
1. Body
2. Mind [that, which is capable of observing the body]
3. Consciousness [that, which is capable of observing the mind]
4. Turia [that, about which nothing can be stated]
This implies, that however amazing the DNA mechanism is,
it is there to merely facilitate the development of the
BODY. That is all.
Furthermore, the very activity of DNA related processes
are subject to various influences, not the least significant
of which is electromagnetic in nature.
It is not even clear at the moment that electromagnetic
processes could be classified as a "primary cause" of sorts.
The intents, the ideas, the thoughts, the laugther are
all subject to fields. You look at something, and you laugh.
DNA is still the same. Nothing has changed.
And you, without even coming to a physical contact with
the other oblect, laught.
If we could only look a little deeper into this single simple
occurance, we would probably learn something, we could never
conceive possible.

And the other people dedicate their life just as well.

Where did you extract this from?

Well, the point here is that it is utterly unclear
what is the PRIMARY "cause" of what.
All you can state is that DNA does work wonders in
terms of generating body.
But all you are talking is body.
Look at jack sarafatti's threads.
Do you understand what he is saying there?
He is taking the modern physics and quantum theory
and expanding it with the concepts of NON-MATERIAL,
precognition, and other wild things of that nature.
Do you thing he is just under delusion of sorts?
Why don't you go and tell him about DNA?
>He replies:
>>>>Just the very term reared is ugly.
Yes, because it is completely unconscious repetition
of degrading idea.
The idea of rearing comes from animal world.
They just stand in the middle of the field and the
baby just falls out from the rear.
Thus, reared.
As an idea, it is utterly degrading.

Hey, thats a secret!
>or is he confused by a term in a language not his native language?
Stop laying out the foundation for a guilt trip.
Just state what does it mean reared.
Where did the term come from?
And who uses it in what context?
Then we talk more.
> Or
>is this an example of schizophrenic loose association?
Oh, mr. suckazoid.
Finally, you are showing me your real face.
Ok, keep sucking.
> Normal people
Fuck all these "normal" people,
engading in mass destruction of global proportions,
and that are standing on the brink of SELF destruction
at this very moment.
What have these "normal" people produce, but the violence
unending.
Look at your idiot box
[the tool for mass programming, you call tv]
What do you see there all day long on all the channels?
Any active neurons on line?
Is ANY of it "normal"?
Come, suck more.

Uhu. And the implication is?
Open your sucky mouth, you manipulator and twister
of reality to fit the needs of the fat cat at the
"top" of the food chain.
Tell me the holey sucking truth about the meaning
of life, willya.
What is the root of the word?
Rear is the BACK part of anyting.
Look up your dic-
tionary.
First of all, do the children come from the back?
Do you educate them by turning your ass toward them?
Where does the term "reared" come from,
but the animal farm?
And you, claiming to be a scientist, use the same
sub-conscious, derogatory terminology, invented
by the sub-morons, while talking about that,
which those of your camp call "the rule of everything".
Can you reconcile it it?
Can you find a SINGLE reason for the term reared
as applied to education and upbringing?
Youe eyes are in front.
Your nose is in front.
Even your pussy is in front.
How do you REAR children?

"Perverse, bizzare interpretation"?
Whose?
How does you idiotic CPU work, if you use the concepts
of rear, while ALL the significant work is done from
the front.
Furhtermore, you take this "rear" thing as a significant
point of YOUR argument?
And YOU are talking about "scatalogical implications"?
Why don't you go suck a dead donkey's ass for a change.
May be you can get some education afterall.

Huh?
Going on where?

>>F. LeFever
You see, sucker, instead of proving the theory
of "DNA rewls everything", you engaged in destruction
of other individual.
Well, even if that other individual is completely
insane, what does it help YOUR sucky theory
of fatalistic materialism?
Does it VALIDATE the "DNA is the cause of everything"
delusion?

What is not clear here?
Can you admit that you don't know the most essential

And what is specifically wrong with that?
Do you comprehend that the known is not a stimuli

And that is the holey sucking truth.
