Sorry Ian, i'm buggered now anyway, so i have nothing to lose.
My previous two questions where serious in intent. I'm not sure whether the jocular or serious points of my posts are decipherable anymore.
Anyway, - the social uses it's put to IS a different question. But, i live and breath in a society first and foremost, before i acquire any aspirations for immortality or reasoning genius and the deconstruction of space, time, and the satisfaction i would gain from witnessing the growing mountain of knowledge rising up before me. I can't avoid asking these damn questions no more than any other thinking human being can (i imagine), but i fuel my body before i fuel my brain, end of story. Knowledge might provide tasty morsels for the brain, but it starves the body of its own. And the brain is of no use without the body. How is the accumulation of knowledge able to be seperated from its social setting anyway. Is it a good thing? Well maybe compartmentalised in the deep recesses of my brain. But knowledge is not something we store in a grocery store to go and observe every weekend to satisfy our intellects cravings, it destroys the same damn grocery stores with which we feed our bodys and builds a lousy great supermarket on it. Hurray, bow to the god of knowledge and man in his infinite wisdom and domination of the planet, no in fact the universe. knowledge slowly bludgeons my soul to death, and i'd give up all the knowledge in existence for a quiet pasture of land and a few vegetables. then i could loo at the stars, give them names, and imagine they are gods. yes, what a loony bin i would be, deceived by the world, too stupid too unearth the knowledge which will unlock the secrets. I'd much rather be a thick ****er called Pete who digs holes for a living.
Do i have a downer on science, too damn right.
*stream of consciousness off*
as it is, i am not suicidal, prefer a simple life, and provide my brain in all its meagreness with enough sustenance to keep the bugger quiet, and chatting to you ****ers provides me with far more pleasure than all the science crap. 
hehehe
easy tiger
