Genetically-inferior men may still have sex with mutually-consenting women as long as they get a vasectomy beforehand to terminate their inferior genes for good. Geneticallly-inferior means having a family history of known hereditary health issues.

So you are an opponent of human health and well-being?

Man should seriously breed Homo sapiens for longevity, strength and overall health both physically and mentallly. The healthiest humans tend to be the most productive in society and the most sexually attractive as well. It's a win-win situation to breed healthy and strong people. People with known hereditary health issues should be taken out of the gene pool. These people who are not genetically fit to breed should unselfishly adopt children in need of homes if they have the means to do so. People without sufficient stable economic means should not parent children at all. The world is well overpopulated as it is. Also, women who are about to become pregnant, are pregnant or are lactating should not drink or smoke and eat junk food. They should not put any perfumes or cosmetics upon their bodies. This risks fetal injury and fetal deformity. Of course, no healthy human should smoke, vape, chew tobacco, eat junk food, drink much or do dope.

I would think VULVA was adopted for females so as not to have to say, "mons veneris, labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, urethra, vulva vestibule, vestibular bulbs, Bartholin's glands, Skene's glands, and vaginal opening". For the male we have to at least say, " the penis, testes and the scrotum" to name the whole shebang on the outside of the body. It would be easier to say a single word for all these parts collectively. We can say MANHOOD but that word has multiple meanings. Terms are invented for simplification of speech.

The vulva is the female external genitalia collectively. Laymen commonly call that a vagina but that term is not accurate. There seems to be no formal scientific collective term for male external genitalia but slang terms including manhood and package. What might be a good scientific term for male external genitalia as a whole corresponding to vulva for females? VULVA is Latin for "covering, womb, or matrix". What single Latin word might best describe the whole of the male external parts? The Latin word for "rooster is "gallus". Does a bird's head with wattles not closely resemble male parts?

I think the bounty method might be highly effective coupled by stiffer fines and penalties. People with portable telephones and cameras have a powerful weapon to catch slobs. Most littering tends to happen in poorer areas and poor people and older people on fixed incomes are always looking for an easy extra buck. It could be a lucrative hobby for private citizens to use modern tech to catch people doing bad things like trashing the environment and make an extra dollar at it to boot. Probably pays better than panning for gold or beach-combing with a metal detector. Wave a dollar bill in front of the ordinary people as the community's "litter police" and watch our neighborhoods get clean real fast.

Over the past 20 years while living in American cities like Citrus Heights, California, Boise, Idaho and Lawton/Fort Sill, Oklahoma, I have noticed a disturbing amount of trash covering residential streets, residential front yards, highways and parking lots. People pollute this way because they don't care, they are are lazy, they have no appreciation for cleanliness, there are no incentives to control litter and/or there are no consequences for littering. I don't think many parents teach children the value of good stewardship of the land. Litter is much more prevalent in low income areas than in rich communities. Do schools even teach children the value of not littering? Much littering occurs in close proximity to convenience stores and fast-food restaurants. These could be great places for concerned citizens on patrol with smartphones. What are some of your good ideas to seriously deter trashing of our landscape? I feel we need much tougher litter laws at federal, state and local levels with more severe penalties for littering. We also need bounty programs that would encourage citizens to report litterbugs into the authorties. Citizens, upon the conviction and fines collections from offenders, could get a kickback on some of the fine money as a reward for helping to bring convicted litterers to justice. Almost everybody nowadays carries a mobile phone with a camera. People have already effectively used phones to report people in public parks with unleashed dogs. Offering reward money to catch litterbugs would surely give people an incentive to report them in and actively be on watch for litterers so as to catch them in the act. Bounty money would follow litterers around wherever they go to pounce on them. Penalties for offenders could include jail time, trash cleanup of streets, fines and public shaming. Billboards in cities could post pictures and names of persons caught littering such as the city hall or local post office. Singapore and Tokyo, Japan are some of the most litter-free parts of the world. What is their secret to making people actually give a hoot about not polluting? I think that when there are serious consequences, people actually care. I have not seen any anti-litter campaigns on television since about the 1990's.

Does mysticism fall under religion?

Humans don't know, think or perceive everything as facts. Sometimes even wild human notions are tested and proven to be true.

I believe my conscious self will live on forever regardless of whatever physical form I take. If I'm a dog in some other suit (living body) worn by my soul, I will be aware of myself as a dog. I could be a woman someday too. I probably should not even worry about what happens when I die. Only time will tell. What will be, will be. This is a philosophy forum, actually. I never said I was a master writer. I'm here brainstorming. I'm just trying to throw out what is on my mind. Most humans naturally consider the possibility of an afterlife. If there is 'another life' waiting for me, I can only hope it beats this one. Scientists should be open minded enough to consider the possibilty of a hereafter. Did you know some medical doctors are even religious persons? Nobody is twisting your arm here to repsond or read what is here. That's all. That said, MigL, how do you feel this morning?

Could quantum mechanics be the key to interstellar space travel in a flash? Is there a connection between quantum mechanics and the future of astronautics? Think of the Starship Enterprise's being able to travel at various warp factors, powers (exponents) of the speed of light? Could advanced quantum understanding someday make this science fiction science fact?

Why don't I remember past lives? Simply, put the soul, though conscious of the ever present, possesses no memory. Memory is only a process of the living human brain and that is mortal so all terminal life experiences in a physical body are forever lost at death. Who, what human mortal, here dares say what will or will not happen when I die? The bottom line is I don't know for fact. I don't think any of you know for a fact. Consciousness will either follow my physical death or it won't. I have the notion that I will be most likely aware after I die at some future time or another. Something has to happen to the mind and soul (or spirit) after death. We all know the human body resorts to worm food, but without any conscious thought in the hereafter, my future done-for body shall mean nothing to me. Yes, I do indeed only live once, but eternally so. When one has an immortal soul, an eternal life, who needs more than one life anyway? A succession of reincarnated living bodies are not so much as a series of multiple lives as they are a series of clothing changes. I have but one life but it is an ever-lasting life. It is my living and aware soul which is the "one and only me for all of time". I once asked what my soul was to a church minister. He said to me, "YOU are the soul." That is a simple but very profound and true statement. Who are all you here? YOU are all souls.

I suppose the answer that younger hearts beat faster than older hearts seems reasonable. But as the why that old textbook left out the word BOYS explicitly in the age/sex heart rate comparison I don't think I shall ever understand. Perhaps it was a misprint by accidental printing press plate omission to have left out BOYS. I should have asked the teacher about it way back in 1982. I was hoping a human heart expert could chime in here about the heart rate of male children specifically in comparison with the respective heart rates of adult males, adult females and female children. I am now 58 and I have been progressively getting more interested in science lately.

Well, I took this course 41 years ago. I don't even know how to contact my teacher or even if she is alive today. I can't remember the textbook's name but why would the author have left out BOYS on purpose when comparing heart rates by age/sex demographics? By saying that the average heart rate for MEN is less than that for WOMEN and GIRLS, one is saying that adult males have a slower heart rate than females of all age groups. It implies to me that male children, living or dead, have no heart rate at all. Words mean things.

German shepherd dogs and wolves (carnvoires) are smart. Sheep and cows (herbavoires) are stupid. Adolf Hitler was a vegetarian and a complete idiot. Animal proteins make for smart brains.
