One hundred thousand years is a blink of an eye in evolutionary time.

Lately I've been pondering the concept of beauty in the human psyche and was thinking it was unique to the human species... till I remembered seeing "objects de arte" in packrat middens and some bower birds are well known to collect beautiful items.

If we were able to carry the love and tolerance shown here into the world as a whole and get anyone to follow the example set, who knows what could be born from that?

Made me laugh. I wouldn't be surprised cause I know some ratty characters.

How to out intelligent nature?

I think that may very well be nature's goal
Why else create a creature w/ self-aware consciousness?

Or it may just be easier to go with the flow ha

Self-awareness consciousness can emulate so much of nature.
The wily deceptiveness, and yes, nature even creates art;
which seems sometimes just for art sake.
And
Sometimes nature is even cooperative and nurturing

But mostly its just take advantage at every turn or (tumbleweed)

Nature is certainly an imponderable
Lucky humans,,,

gary95340: Hello, I read the Jasper Point post, 2009. I am part owner of the KAREN LYNN claim. It’s located in Hunters Valley. It’s a Jasper load claim. To my knowledge it is illegal to collect rocks in the Lake McClure area, owned by MID. Jasper Point is in MID Dec 7, 2024 23:57:23 GMT -5

gary95340: New to this, I haven’t a clue on posting. I have about 1 ton of jasper, various sizes. Dec 8, 2024 0:02:13 GMT -5

gary95340: No use to hang around, I’m out of here. Dec 8, 2024 0:03:29 GMT -5

gary95340: Jasper point is a geographic location easily located on a topographical map. It obtained its name, because Jasper was mined there at the time of the railroad. I visited the site by boat during the end of the last drought. Dec 8, 2024 0:08:15 GMT -5

amygdule: I like Jasper

Maybe you can post some pictures here

Rockoonz: gary95340 post on the forum in the introductions, if you ask the question there we can help you get started posting with either the cloudinary for PC or the tapatalk app for apple/android. Not sure if it's even possible to post pics in the shout-box. Dec 10, 2024 11:17:30 GMT -5

gary95340: Easy answer, go to FLICKR.COM. In the search bar enter “Jasper claim” that’s my name on that site. All photos were uploaded by me, years ago. Should be 64 photos, Helen Trumbull shows 4 photos. If you search Hornitos jasper you’ll see some jewelry I made, Dec 10, 2024 23:30:23 GMT -5
