I am a 90% vegetarian since I was a teenager. I still occasionally eat fish and free range organic chicken (rare). I have created for myself a pyramid of consciousness based on research and personal contact with other creatures. I remember reading an article about screaming broccoli many years ago and thought it sounded like hokum because they have no central nervous system. But pain is relative based on the will to survive. Based on recent studies like these - caring, cooperation, competition, and pain can take many forms in different entities.
No matter what - meat eating is bad for the environment because of methane releases in the form of flatulence, land clearing for millions of cattle etc. and the herbivore feed in the form of corn that is not a sustainable crop for the soil.

Paradigm Shifts in Evolution Theory
This Academic sums up some of the current paradigm shifts happening in Evolution Theory. I researched this subject for many hours and explore it in my book as well - check it out!

Intelligent Design? Freeman Dyson, Roger Penrose & The Golden Ratio
Intelligent Design is attracting some brilliant minds as of late such as famous physicist Freeman Dyson. I have posted a clip of a great little discussion on the very cool but repetitive CUNY show called Closer to Truth - check out the website for a lot of great dialogs - mostly about the host's Dr Robert L. Kuhn's skeptical vibe as related to a creator. But he is a great conversationalist, not negative and condescending like many atheists. Roger Penrose, another giant in Quantum Physics has been quoted as saying the random chance of something like the Big Bang happening is 10 to the 127th power - an unfathomably huge number - meaning that it was not a freak accident as Francis Crick (DNA Nobel guy) would have you believe. (Discover Magazine, October 2014, Beyond the Outer Limits article).
Check out link from distinguished scientists from all over the world that think that there is a weakness in the random mutation aspect of Darwin's Evolution theory.

I also included a basic intro video on the Golden Ratio - PHI - aka Fibonacci Sequence. Did math already exist and humans merely discovered it like electricity? If so - this means some kind of intelligence at work and not just some random freak accident of nature as many of the material reductionists promote. What do you think?

American Dream?
This not funny George Carlin - a comic genius.
Near the end of his life he started to go on tangents - which turns
some people off but if someone is speaking truth - it is important to
hear. However, I am am of the glass is half full school. I still believe
that America could reach its full potential if we fix our democracy and
lesson the influence of corporations in the political process.
