Why?
How?
What?
When?
Where?
Why do we ask so many questions about everything? And then question the answers we're given?

Questioning things... Human nature, or human nurture?
Darkwin - the critical morass from terrarium Posted Apr 5, 2003
Nice question... I think it's because humans are always on a search for something. They're the curious kind, exapanding the boundaries of knowledge. For example, if they started out with 29.95 ON (Overt Noetics, a fictitious unit to measure intelligence), they would ask and reason and ask out of the reason to increase it, thus eventually reaching 99.95 ON. Then they'd increase more. That's the probable quest - to find out what the electron 42 was answered to... LOL

If it is humanly possible, they have done it, or will do it.
Humans are the seeds of this boisphere.
Humans are capable of seeding other biospheres.

Dont you think they/we/the intelligensia(substitute your own derogatory term here) would just devalue the Overt Noetics to a point so that they could still call the average member of the population thick. LOL
