I don’t know how many of you still read this, but…there’s an article in the BBC news about a monkey who fed himself with a robotic arm via electrodes in his brain. Similar to other examples we’ve looked at such as the guy with the third arm, and a paralyzed person moving a cursor on a computer screen with his brain, but the article seems excited about it so perhaps it’s new in some way not fully explained.
Jealousy. Is it man made? Do other animals feel it. Or is it just technology that makes us this way? We all know about other animals fighting for a mate but is that jealousy or is it just a will to pass on their seed? take for example the bower birds…if their nest does not satisfy the likings of the female bird will they grieve? i believe they won’t. Jealousy is unique to man. other animals have a will to survive. humans have want, desire, passion, fervor. other animals just have a will to survive. i write this entry because recently i’ve come in the middle of a situation where there has been jealousy among friends. This jealousy should not have arisen. Jealousy comes hand in hand with greed. Jealousy is not something that you absolutely need. It is something you desire and wish to take away from someone else. Jealousy, greed and hatred. Now these three words are linked. Jealousy is what causes you to hate. Can it be avoided? No, it is a part of humans. no matter how much you resist or deny that you are jealous…it is still there. you put up a charade and lie to not only others, but yourself as well…
