Nothing that I could not have found out from Wiki or similar sources with less drama, however A2K can be better at interactive edutainment.

Edutainment (also educational entertainment or entertainment-education) is a form of entertainment designed to educate as well as to amuse. Edutainment typically seeks to instruct or socialize its audience by embedding lessons in some familiar form of entertainment: television programs, computer and video games, films, music, websites, multimedia software, etc.

Most of what i have learned would be in the sciences, and a lot of that from reading pertinent links, as well as posts . . . so i'd list Farmerman, Roswell (aka Rosborn), Raprap . . . so many others, to whom i mean no offense by not mentioning their names.

I have learned that humans are not as despicable as i once thought they were.

They are worse!

j/k

I've learned not everyone is aware of the corruption that shrouds their daily lives and insulates them from REAL reality, not the made up one humans use. (gov't religion science etc..)

I learned that Buddhist monks have it right. Go to a monastery and keep your mouth shut.

I learned that the 11 year solar cycle is caused by the sun moving back and forth through the barycenter of the solar system (I think SattFS and I both learned this through the course of our discussion. It was very enjoyable.)

I also learned that mutation is not the primary driving force behind variation in evolution. Simple mixing of existing genes is probably the dominant force behind variation. And amazingly, there is probably enough existing variation within the genome of any species to allow it to evolve into not only a different species, but probably a completely different genus. All without additional mutation. (Farmerman clued me into this during my SabreTooth Evolution thread by telling me about Ernst Mayr). This is critical for understanding the pace of evolution, especially the multi-billion year stretch to reach multicellular life and the subsequent flurry of diversification from simple cells to today.

I have learned a lot about science, relationships.. which has been quite interesting.

Not that I dont think about people in other countries, but it is.. settling.. almost .. to hear of people having the exact same issues in their relationships in different countries and different cultures as we see here.
It feels sort of binding in the sense that we humans really ARE all alike.
I enjoy having those kinds of thoughts.


I have learned a lot about religions. Even things I did not know about christianity.

I have learned a lot about wars.

Gardening

Gargamels hairy belly button

Selling

Advertising..

you name it.
I have also learned that I wont do with out this website Wink
