"We could give ourselves immortality if we want. Mortality is just a molecular program written into our DNA. The DNA in our reproductive cells is immortal and can elaborately self repair over the generations. It recombines with the DNA of another person during sex, and creates a whole, fresh, perfect, new body. Bacteria are immortal. Cancer cells are immortal. It can be done. It would mean merely changing the molecular programming in our cells. Life is a program, and so is death. Death can be unprogrammed."

Thalamic Inhibition in the Evolution of Human Intelligence: Evolutionary Pressure for Cortical Inhibition & The Role of Cognition in Evolutionary Theory
One characteristic of a civilized society is the ability job function email list and propensity of its members to refrain from acting in a way that disrupts the harmony of the group. While this is not intelligence as measured by IQ, it is a form of social intelligence that will aid those having it in their ability to propagate. This characteristic is not unique to human societies but rather is true of most social species.
POWER IS AT THE CORE of being. It is the ability of one entity to change another entity. The measure of power is the measure of the extent of that force. A discussion of power follows naturally from a discussion of empire and vice-versa, since empire is a social organization of power which seeks to extend itself and which defines itself largely in terms of legitimizing its own power and extension of power and reducing, eliminating or assuming such powers as are not its own. An understanding of the world is not feasible without an understanding of the powers which create the world.
