QAnon....the Dragon Chasers

Description

In Carl Sagan's book, "The Dragons of Eden", the need for some to believe in strange things is revealed In an enlightened way. Fear of the truth is a strong survival emotion.....knowing that big snake is out there, waiting to crawl into you're deep dark night, makes for a lousy night, and day. Sagan discusses the search for a quantitative means of measuring intelligence. He argues that the brain to body mass ratio is an extremely good correlative indicator for intelligence, with humans having the highest ratio and dolphins the second highest,[1] though he views the trend as breaking down at smaller scales, with some small animals (ants in particular) placing disproportionately high on the list. Other topics mentioned include the evolution of the brain (with emphasis on the function of the neocortex in humans), the evolutionary purpose of sleep and dreams, demonstration of sign language abilities by chimps and the purpose of mankind's innate fears and myths. The title "The Dragons of Eden" is borrowed from the notion that man's early struggle for survival in the face of predators, and in particular a fear of reptiles, may have led to cultural beliefs and myths about dragons.
