KUK3CX: What makes humans special? Indeed what explains why & how we are obviously so different in so many ways than every other life form on this planet, that we invent (and invent and invent) and we dominate the planet?
- KUK3TR: This is a age-old question which has lots of theories, but none I've heard of has been widely agreed on.
- KUK3HE: My answer (which I came up with in about 1987)
- KUK3V7: is "Top teaching, & likely THAT'S ALL!".
- KUK3RA: Specifically humans are the only creature which teaches its young (and each other) in a way that accumulates with each generation. All other life forms that we know of need to depend on just genetics (evolution) to develop from one generation to the next, whereas humans have been able to teach in a way that accumulates from one generation to the next, and indeed in a way that explodes, much the same way as compound interest.
- Details .... To be continued.@@
- KUK3RL: And "THAT'S IT" to seemingly explain everything unique about humans: there's nothing else needed it seems to explain how we've become like we are today. No we don't need intelligent design, God, nor some "soul" that presumably only humans have, to explain seemingly everything that humans agree they humans see & experience.
- KUK4DU: So (many prepare to be disappointed) likely THAT'S IT -- likely there is NO more (than top teaching) to what makes humans special.
- KUK413: "So if humans are essentially no different than any other life form we know (except for just "top teaching"), then why do I still have the deep feeling that we're special, that we can't be "ordinary", so there must be some "soul" in just us or a God which is treating us specially?"
- Answer.... to be continued@@@
- KUK4FV: Consequently, we humans aren't "the mighty stalactite or stalagmite", but instead "the little drops of water" that happen to form it. And if some "earthquake or weather change" or other forces of nature happen to come pass, like a drop of water we could just "drain away" somewhere else, potentially (like that drop) totally forgetting what we had built. In short we are MUCH smaller that we like to think of ourselves and we need to be humble. @@to be continued.

Then I renamed to just the ID of this paragraph so official URL (created on it's first post) will contain just that in the name. I originally desired article title[Why humans special?

I then did[Share->Publish as web page->Post to Blog] posting it to http://LoveRules.Info creating official URL http://LoveRules.Info/2009/12/kuk20g.html; then renamed to[KUK20G(Why humans special?
