OT- Little 2000 year old philosophy and SEIV

[Tnarg]

Wow, I just made a connection. Imagine the Mediterranean about the time of late Greeks, early Romans. Conquest and new lands, new colonies and expansion. At the time, was there any more to these people? Of course there was, but why ask when there is so much close to home, and all of those other places are so far away.

So I wonder, the Mediterranean was to us today a complete Earth. We have all that there is to offer, but yet there is so much more. This makes me ask the questions of evolutionary periods. Personally I believe that we are on the verge of the beggining of a new period. We have the birthplace of modern man in the Mediterranean expand and conquer. We move on to the age of the Vikings and Spanish who dared to wonder, look what they have acheived for modern day man. Now we have modern day man in complete control of an element and looking beyond.

So to put things into perspective in SEIV
Early Greeks- Control of the solar system
Vikings and Spanish- Control of the region of stars in our Galaxy.
Modern day man- Control of a major sector of our Galaxy.

Man moves on. Politicians and all of those boring people that think that we're here to stay put and live dull dreary lives have it all wrong. I believe that we will get there, and it is just a matter of proper timing and spirit. Our place, Man's place, most deffinatly has a place in the stars, and I beleive that we are in the epoch of that step forward.

Love that Discovery Channel. Now just imagine if that 2000 year Archimedes computer wasn't lost at sea!
