September 20, 2010 - (RealEstateRama) -- Unlike the beasts, mankind survives because he is a scientist. We cannot physically compete with animals that can fly, or run and swim faster than us, who can drink dirty water and combat the bacteria in it, or who multiply in such sheer numbers that they survive despite losing 95% of their offspring each generation. No, human beings survive in this universe because our nature is to figure out the natural laws of physics, and domesticate them, building infrastructure, to reflect those laws in the world we create. We build farms to feed each other, build machines to aid our productivity, and build our knowledge, to improve our culture, and the technology of our infrastructure, from one generation to the next.
