A Standardized Pattern in Nature

I read a study of the development of human societies. One of the themes that has occurred over and over throughout history is: one group encountering another slightly less technologically advanced; killing them all and taking their shit.


The decimation of the New World and other european imperialization are excellent examples, though it has been going on long before then. I imagine early modern humans, being taller quicker and smarter, when encountered, would have killed off the Neanderthals and any other protohuman species.


I also remembered that this same phenomena occurs in nature where a nonnative species is introduced. If it doesn’t die immediately, they quickly and easily take over. A similar thing happens in the germ world; mold, infection etc.


This seems to be a standardized pattern in nature.


My conclusion to all of this is that Earth has not yet been visited by other beings from another planet.


The book, BTW: Jared Diamond's Guns Germs and Steel.

To Your Health

Everybody needs orgasm. There should be more orgasm. It is not about adultery or underage sex or other taboos. Though kids should be having orgasms. Everybody needs orgasm. Many people have regular orgasms; many do not.

Unfortunately with repetition comes boredom and increased tolerance. So technique variety should be developed to keep on a satisfactory course of never ending pleasure.

Giving away orgasm is good.

Plants need dirt. Dirt was created by plants.

Soon after the Earth coagulated, cooling enough to allow liquid water, lifeforms developed. The early junk evolving in the water died from time to time and their bodies washed up on to the sterile land at the waters edge. Bathtub ring.

That stuff mixes well with mineral shavings whittled off the rocks by earthquakes, flowing water, etc. This mixed crap accumulated for centuries and centuries.

An organism eventually evolved to take nutrition from this stuff. There was enough organic matter for a stationary creature to progress. Some of these organisms took advantage of the clearer light energy from the nearby star and evolved into plants. Later, non stationary organisms came out of the water. They left behind similar material to the original matter that mixed so well with mineral shavings. Plants grew their bodies with energy from the sun and reorganization of the available chemicals, then left those enlarged bodies on the surface. Animals added some also. More and more accumulated. Higher and higher, deeper and deeper. Some of it very very deep today. Some places still thin.

What are the macro ramifications of dirt creation? Changing chemical mixup of the gaseous and liquid layers. Probably a back and forth exchange among chemicals rather than a direct route to one chemical state. Consistent planet diameter over time (disregarding slight build up of space dust and chunks), or a fluffing-up of the planet diameter?
