Brian Greene on "the here and now".

Image
 Brian Greene, the well known physicist and mathematician, points out the here and now as the most precious moments.  We are made of stardust and in som ways the  macroworld emerges from microworld. Even consciousness  does - but we don't know how. Its clear that we share this gift with animal, insects ans maybe plants and trees too. But we are the only specie that are intelligent and self-aware. we can make stories and art. Greene is aware that the stories are man made, but if they work and make you mentally good, why not keep them. he admits that his work, for instance about string-theory are a kind of stories too. (string- theory is not validated and is not so popular these days).  The books we write, and for sure the tings we write in the internet will be forgotten.  So maybe the attention we give to our family, neighbours, friends, beggars and a deer near your backyard may be the most precious moments in your life.  Listen to the vegan Greene in a very lively discussion here:

Hope its not too late.  Passed a more than thousand years old runestone made by the Vikings. Is says its for the father of Udd who made a road in the area. Nowadays there ought to be runestones raised for the people caring for the insects and birds.  The climate change has started and its time to choose how to handle it. Its said that some Indians cooperated with the intruders in the US. As they didn't fight the white people they were treated better later on. The chief of one tribe were he had seen the white men coming and what happened later.  So the tribe was adapting to that scenery.  Its time for us to adapt too. The representant for the declaring of Anthropocene (August -24) will be Crawford lake in Cana
