[kj] FW: Re: Funny KJ tracks?

[folk devil]

So do you think we are evolving through memetics? Maybe we're losing natural 
skills in doing so?
Whales can communicate from ocean to ocean, elephants talk in sub bass over 
miles, there is no necessity for them to 'advance' in the same way as us. We 
could be losing some very important skills, like knowing how to find water. 
Once our technology has gone, so has our knowledge, and we're back to square 
one.
