One word:
brilliant!
wow. totally f’ing awesome
Your Nobel Prize is in the mail.
Very clever, Chad.
Well, pls. post something about the real OWS, too.
You rock.
Very well done, Chad!
This is another striking example of breaking the illusion of central position. Since WE are in the 4% it is obvious that it the 4% is the important part of things. If you take a truly objective stance that might turn out differently. This rolls back on the hierarchy. By weight, by volume, by regulating the biosphere, the single celled life on the planet is far more crucial than WE are. Some science guys view us as real estate for mitochondria, providing nutrients and mobility. Our concerns and designs matter little, and this may be a clue as to why we are so poor at managing things-that we were never meant to be this clever. OOPS.

The Occupy movement is not something I like to joke about. It’s too important to joke about. However! This is brilliant and I needed the laugh. Thank you for posting it.
Where would you like your internet sent to?
The microbes couldn’t prevent us from becoming clever.
Some people seem to believe in a mystical power that grants a mandate to whatever has the greatest physical quantities. There’s no such thing. In the end, rational thought always wins.
The only way to stop the money-hoarders is to outsmart them.
@christopher: then the mitrochondria have been doing a really bad job 😛 they have been losing pieces of DNA for the last couple of billion years. Only 9 proteins left to intergratie in our own DNA and the mitrochindria as a “specie” is extinct 😛
but more seriously, indeed what is most important is a relative thing, depending on your point of view. But quite probably we are the only things on earth able to act en thing about it, so were like.. god. So now only to take our viewpoint, most life on earth?, most biodiversity? (why is life such a good thing anyway, why not say that the best thing is to have as many as possible rocks). or maybe: making it a world with the least suffering as possible taking the beings that are most capable of suffering in the highest regard ^^ (I the last one is my own :3)

Get a job, hippies! I’m tired of the hard-working (light-)producing parts of the universe being blamed for their success. If it weren’t for us, you dark matter would drag us all back into a singularity!
“The Occupy movement is not something I like to joke about. It’s too important to joke about.”
Heh. Heh Heh. Bhwaaahahahahahahahahhahahahha.
Willis, sign me up for seconds on the “Bhwaaahahahahahahahahhahahahha.” When Occupy N belatedly grows a brain cell, they’ll be nearly ready to play tic-tac-toe against a snake-handling fundamentalist.
But let’s not threadjack; the original post was brilliant.
“But let’s not threadjack; the original post was brilliant.”
Agreed and agreed.
pppsssstttt….you’ve been instalanched!! This is awesome, thanks!
Magnifique!! Best 99% joke ever!
Ooh ooh another one:
“99% of the integral is dominated by 1% of the paths – Occupy Extremum”
This is fun.
Note that all this “material” that we don’t even understand being a majority part of the universe, just goes to show that we don’t really understand the universe.
