I guess that I have always thought of living things as organisms that take from their environment and give back. I guess I was never really forced to give a distinction before.
What do you feel is the significance of the use of language and tools in chimps?
I feel that the significance is simply that we are not as smart as we thought we were (or that Chimps are smarter then we thought they were).
Chinese Medicine gaining respect in the West?
I think that it is great that people are more accepting of this medicine. I think that a majority of people still use Chinese Medicine as a last resort and I'm looking forward to the day that people think of Chinese Medicine first. I'm not saying that someone should go to an acupuncturist if they break their arm, I'm just saying that it should have the same respect and understanding as western modalities.
I agree with you, I too am excited to see the day that chinese medicine is considered first....

Hi Tina
ReplyDeleteLike you said, maybe we are not as smart as we think. Using tools could be a sign of weaker intelligence. Maybe if we were really smart, we wouldn't need all these tools.
