Pondering sustainability and happiness

[mountain_child]

Being alone in a new town with limited transportation and funds I’ve been reading a bit more than usual in my off time. This has been quite lovely in a number of regards, and has also given me the chance to ponder a few things

well i think that in general the evolution of science has for the most part been of the nature of the pursuit of the above mentioned fat happyness. i think that has allowed it to develop in our minds to allow for the pursuit of almost all science to seem like the same thing in our minds. that makes pretty easy sense for me. even the pseudo-sciences like psychiatry.

i think that when you're at the pinacle of the food chain and your only real competition is one another that the pushes for moving like that are a little different.
i think it's pretty rare that anyone would feel that there aren't suitable mates in a local area...but they might feel that they dont' like the offerings i guess. anything could start feeding back to our base needs and the less we're trully connected to them the less reliable we will be in figuring out what these results are going to have on us. i'm not certain that we really should be connected too overly tightly to these base drives, after all they are a thing of the past but they do help us to understand one another.

i dunno. aren't there animals that once there's a dominant male they just wander out. like lions. or bees. or whatever. i guess it sort of flows from what you say but i don't think it always has to be violence, there's just sometimes this urge to spread outwards. that's why i think there's more male wanderers than female.
