If the image near the bottom of your page is your idea of Paradise
you can keep it; too cold for me.

FTM you can keep all ideas of Paradise; give me an environment with
unpredictable challenges; that's what keeps species on their toes.

You sound like one of those simple-minded flower children of the
1960's that arrogated themselves into Extreme Environmentalists. What
you fail to grok is that the environment CHANGES, frequently in ways
we did not evolve to flourish in. I think that's a good thing, or we'd
live in perfect harmony with our environment the way chimpanzees do.

Your kind wants to wear stinking bearskins and cook vegetables over
a dung fire, if you think that's allowable in your Paradise. I want to
live in a tin can breathing reprocessed air as far from this planet as
I can get, seeing and understanding things that just won't fit in your
mind.

Tell you what; I won't stop you doing what you want, you quit trying
to stop me doing what I want.

What do you say?

Live and let others live...

The environment changes and happens adabtation to the new
circumstances. That's why there are many kinds of people around and
that's why we are capable of learning from each other.
But on the other hand, we are adabted to a life in the nature. We need
the sensory stimuli and we need the nature environment also in other
ways. Some of our needs depend on the way that our other needs are
met. So inventing labour saving machines does not always make things
right. On the whole, I think that the man-made artificialities are a
new factor to which the evolution did not ready us. I believe that the
artificialities will stay but that we also need to reach back for more
natural ways of life, for example for a more natural sensory
environment. So as the time passes, we will find a combination of the
both. Personally I would not like to live in space. I long for the
nature. But if you want to travel, there is nothing stopping you as
long as you do not spoil the life of others by so doing. But I doubt
that such a way of life would make you happy. You would return back
disillusionedly.
