Bio
I hold a master’s degree in business administration. After having had various positions in different companies, I am now retired. I have a strong interest in understanding our world and human behaviour.
Thank you for your interesting comments and graphs. That the world is improving is unquestionable, and that there are enormous pockets of suffering as...
I want to point out a crucial issue: we must distinguish between different time scales. The elapsed time of Earth’s evolutionary trends is 4.5 billion...
From previous posts: “The trends of the Earth System are clear, easy to identify, and have many practical consequences that we can discuss in detail l...
I basically agree with your comments. I do need to give greater weight to the role of humans because, as you rightly point out, we are becoming increa...
It is true that we cannot understand everything, but as science advances, we understand increasingly. I continue to believe that when we look at thing...
Over time, however, my mindset has become more holistic, which makes it easier for me to try to understand both the whole and its parts. Notes: • I th...
Yes, I agree: “civilization (such as it is)” is a better term. I will argue the objections and try to convince you. “Beauty” We have been told that be...
I think we are saying similar things, and they are not contradictory. We do not know how long our civilization may last, but it seems desirable that, ...
Humanity will eventually disappear. Our Sun, like many other stars, will exhaust its hydrogen fuel, then expand and engulf part of the Solar System. F...
Of course, our history explains what we are. However, I insist that it is important not to be mistaken when defining what we are. In the same way that...
You have raised several interesting issues that I would like to comment on. But who are we? We are not merely evolved animals that behave according to...
You know, because I’ve said it a few times, that I’m concerned about the direction the world is heading, and I try to find ideas and methods that coul...
@"Nils Loc" I think the problem should be resolved within the following framework of GTE: • Propensity for Life: Life of any kind, in principle, must ...
I understand that some are, when incorporated into laws, regulations, or codes, while others are not, as they are general guidelines whose application...
I am interested in refining my reasoning and understanding the reason why you say I am confusing concepts. To do so, I will lay out my reasoning step ...
I completely agree. The book *Why Nations Fail* by Nobel in economics, Acemoglu, explains that the progress of nations depends on certain conditions, ...
@"Banno" @"Janus" @"Clearbury" @"AmadeusD" FOCUSING THE TOPIC I am a very recent member of TPF, and I’m not entirely familiar with the customs here, b...
@"Nils Loc" I see no contradictions between what you mention, which is true, and what I propose. It might be that competition among living beings is a...
This is an important question. I have some ideas that need to be checked and refined. I am deeply convinced that politicians will not solve humanity’s...
@"Nils Loc" I agree with most of your post; what you say is true. We both talk about trends, but we don’t assign the same meaning to them. For me, the...
@"Questioner" We agree on many things, among others, that animal instincts are also within us; we share the same origin. However, humans have addition...
Why not? Here are the reasons why I think we should follow these trends: • They are powerful, and neither will they change, nor can we change them. It...
Aren’t we saying the same thing? Let me try to put it in different words: Looking at evolutionary trends, it seems there are laws and principles under...
I believe we are saying similar things. The difference lies in our perspectives. I argue that the Earth's evolution (4.6 billion years) follows certai...
Thank you, @"Banno" and @"Fire Ologist", for your posts, which I will address together. As I mention in my profile, my background is in economics, not...

I would like to thank you for your comments and the links you’ve shared, which help me identify weaknesses in my original post (OP) and demand greater...
I don’t see it the same way. Scientists explain that when the Earth began to cool, the 118 basic elements that came from the stars started combining t...
My approach is based on facts; in this way, I respect different personal beliefs while also proposing a starting platform (the facts explained by scie...
Science explains how things are and how events have unfolded over the past 4.6 billion years; these are facts. Humans, through their free will, must d...
It seems to me that your point addresses two different issues: A. The Problem of Evil: As far as I know, no one has fully explained the existence of e...
You are right, and it frightens me to think that what you describe reminds me of how our ancestors—the animals—behave: they show little concern for th...
We, as humans, must accept the existence of a framework, defined by evolutionary trends, that cannot be changed. In our modern world, it is up to us t...
When we observe animals, we see the results of evolutionary trends in their purest form. They have not been interfered with by intelligent and free be...
I became a member of TPF a few days ago, and I apologize in advance if I make any mistakes in interacting with the forum. Ourora proposes that ethics ...
