Since i started this journal, the bio on my info page has read:

"I don't need myself remembered; but what I help create and leave behind is important to me!"

Perhaps i should explain this reference further? Particularly in my study of physical anthropology this semester, i have become acutely aware of why this idea has always resonated so strongly with me...


the cut tags in boldface provide a sampling of the subjects mentioned in this ridiculously long and rambling post:


--


cultural evolution; self-organizing systems; complexity theory; game theory; evolutionary psycho-socio-biology; storytelling and divination throughout history and geography; mutually beneficial relationships between the individual and the collective )


--


reciprocal altruism; one on one dialogue & even more complex communication channels; The Ethical Slut; Sexual Paradox: Complementarity, Reproductive Conflict and Human Emergence: The Naturalistic Fallacy, Human Nature, and Evolutionary Ethics )


--


the development of ethics as a philosophical process one may use to question the rationale and efficacy of moral decisions; ethical statements: essentially based on emotional positions; Exceeding by delicacy; becoming conscious of our eating/drinking/sex/drug/etc. habits & developing a more nutritious/well-balanced/ethical lifestyle )
