Your assessment of evolution vis a vis the caveman and the modern mind leaves aside a few tiny little details.
Like learning, oral tradition, progression, experimentation, philosophy, epistemology, technology to name but a few.
By simply ignoring these concepts in order to progress your argument you simply undermine it.

1. The so called "War on Terror" is now largely a farce that feeds of neocon paranoia. I refer to my previous posts on the issue.

2. The German rocket scientists that brought us everything from Apollo 11 to smart cards did not work in isolation but as a cohegent team. The same approach worked for Apple and Mircosoft during the early 80s and it can work whenever we work off each others' excess capacity. Unfortunately the neocon thinking tends to emphasise the individual at the expense of the group.

3. I need some (round the box) metrics to guage the the likely extent and impact of the predicted recession.

You are wrong about evolutionary theory. There is evidence that people have continued to evolve over the past 100,000 years. In fact there are indications that cranial capacity in Britain increased over just the past 1000 years. Or look at lactase persistence, sickle cell traits, skin coloration, Inuit body shapes (and mitochondrial DNA variants)... it's a long list.

Ron Paul is still right about the war, though.

Cave men wuld have known a lot of stuff....making it bare skined through an ice age would have nessecitated a lot of invention. I am not sure if we individualy know more, but we certainly do collectively and for that we can thank the invention of writing. However, even though we may say collectivly we know more, that still doesnt mean it is all valid knowledge or correct. Looking forward to reading your book

You (and Ron Paul) are right about the War On Terror, but I think you got the source of your quote wrong - that was Stalin, not Hitler...
