We're all a bunch of big babies!
Relative to our ape brethren, humans give birth to really big babies. This especially substantial infant size—along with newborns' large heads and general helplessness—helped to spur the development of more advanced social systems to help mother and child safe, researchers think.

A new study examines the evolution of this trend to try to pinpoint when in human evolution this growth spurt occurred—and how it might have signaled a shift in social dynamics as well.

1. Yea I know that doctrine also. When compared to another post I just made
Edited on Mon Jan-03-11 10:37 PM by RandomThoughts
It says that being able to think, and having the concepts of intelligence is 'the forbidden fruit' From that the idea of pain in childbirth is the curse for women when leaving garden. And men have to work, becuase with smarts comes doing for more then just survival daily, but also for ideas and dreams of futures.

Or basically that being smart, is having knowledge. I contend it is becuase people don't have the emotion and compassion to compensate for their ability of being smart to hurt people.

I think the forbidden fruit is the idea of claiming when something is good or bad in absolutes, without the perfect smarts or the perfect heart all the time to know exactly what is best for each person or group.


That concept can be that humans were given a brain boost in the garden of Eden. The reversal of that doctrine, showing it not valid, is that it is not having an intelligence, but how you use it with having heart also. So although there could have been a brain boost, the heart boost of many years of teachings is to counter that. And it is not the brain boost that causes the problems, but thinking you are smarter then you are, or thinking you got a brain boost better then someone else.

If the heart gets as big as the brain, many problems will be corrected.

however some people think that means they should dumb people down, not knowing it is there smarts getting them to think that, and why their smarts are the problem when not with heart, because they are hurting people, instead grow the hearts.


Really long doctrine, but it tries to put together a few things to say that people were never suppose to be more then animals, and that the rebel side has been interjecting knowledge so that people can figure out what existence is and claim freedom.


Heard that doctrine before.

It is also used as an argument for censoring information.


That doctrine also gets some to form ideas of racism, it is not the brain box that defines intelligence and wisdom anyways, and the heart can be the sign of being evolved.

4. If you are serious. I don't think of it as smoking, but know of that metaphor.
Faith with heart and thought.

Any one on its own can lead you to overshoot or undershoot.

For me it started seeing that there were things wrong, and saying they shouldn't happen, then I got kicked around a bit, then got some help.

For me from the better spirit of love and kindness, in my view love of God through Jesus Christ, although I know many people think of it differently.





Although I don't currently have beer and travel money that is due. So :shrug:

7. You don't have a hold on 'my' chain.
Edited on Wed Jan-05-11 04:46 AM by RandomThoughts
And if you did, I would drag you to where ever I want. Then again pet and animal doctrine don't bother me :D Since I know there intents.

Hope all is better with you also.



If you did not know, there are doctrines that people are leashed dogs, even a movie about it with Jet Lee. It is a common doctrine, it is made for people to think they are controlled by other people or worse. It is even in Christianity but usually not the same concept, just the burden of trying to think and feel on things.

A verse that speaks about a light yoke, and also from what I have heard the reason for a catholic collar, however many use it more in the 'pet doctrine style of comments' So I know all about that, and its variations.

Also your comment about 'well' is a common thing commented on also.

So thanks for the kind thoughts :)

This movie had a well in it also. The Ring.

3. I have a hypothesis that neoteny is also the reason for male-pattern baldness.
I suspect in our australopithicine ancestors the males became bald as a sign of sexual maturity. Then neoteny kicked in and the baldness became delayed, or even suppressed in some individuals.

it's also why human newborns are so helpless.
