An observation that I wanted to share... Over the winter break we watched the movie Thor, an awesome movie by the way, and the next day I found myself thinking about how more evolved races are sometimes portrayed in movies. Thor's father was alive during the time of the Vikings, and then was still ruling in present time. In the Stargate series, the Asgard also had long life expectancies. There was a more recent Star Trek Movie (Nemesis I think) where Captain Picard ends up on a planet where they could slow down time. Which made me think, to evolve properly, we need to move slower. (I'd like to point out here that when I refer to evolving, I don't mean as a species, but rather as a society.) For modern society, slow does not appear to be a word in our vocabulary, unless we are complaining about it. My husband found this youtube video a while back about how fast technology is changing and it's rather mind boggling. " http://www.youtube.com/e...
A little bit of this, a little bit of that.
