The way I perceive it, a success in war, or making money (or even "only" earning it) or gaining power - all those things increase a chance of successful procreation (both for males and females who are on winning side). So it all boils down to serving the "queenking". > A physics professor I know says that the king is collisions. > Biologists might point to genetics or chemistry.

Actually I was writing merely about what (in my opinion) rules over human behaviour. Sorry for not being more specific. In case of Universe, I guess mathematics is the queenking. Some people may even give this mathematics a name. [...] > If you're going to invent a god (or a pantheon), you might want to > make it more interesting than that! Nah. There is plenty of people inventing such things and making various claims about. I doubt I could add anything creative to the lot. And if I could, many of them would probably envy me and hate me, so I would end up knee-deep in dodo. Then, after I died (maybe violently - yoopeee!), religious merchants would come and mangle my words to make hot-dogs of them. Wow, what a prospect. On the other hand, if my brain has some idle time and I feel so, I like to reason about various things (whatever comes to my mind). I might be an animal, in some part at least, but reasoning is fun. -- Regards, Tomasz Rola -- ** A C programmer asked whether computer had Buddha's nature. ** ** As the answer, master did "rm -rif" on the programmer's home ** ** directory.
