Does anyone beleive that Ardipithicus Ramidus is the oldest ancestor between Hominids and Chimps

Different humanoids were experimented with on earth. giants, humanoids with wings, etc, the only humanoids intelligent enough to survive were homosapiens. So no, Ardipithicus Ramidus is not the oldest.

I should have given up on rational approaches to the world long ago.

As Ecology means the study of the home and Economics means the management of the home, I thought it my noble Cynical calling to give it all to enunciating and communicating an economic alternative that was based on the best that I could do with respect for rational thought and the wisdom, if not cruelty, of the workings of natural systems.

They, as homo sapiens, are locked into a profit-maximizing, yield maximizing, immature ecological systems approach. It is the essence of the now almost past fossil fuel age with cheap inputs into human "communities" (I quote because the atomization process has become unbearable and impossible to penetrate) and the entropic nature of existence is claiming
final victory over the order of life.

Of course, I am ignored. I am a lone monk, a lone voice in the wilderness after my mentors and friends, the few that understood at all an Environmental Studies/Radical Economics/Planning/ MBA have died or given up,
yielding to the unrelenting empiricism that Man, being the ultimate manifestation of competitive natural forces, and blasted beyond any possible reintegration unto the planet, with the accelerating entropic technologies associated with the horribly squandering oil/automobile age.

About 15 years ago, I came to the "conclusion" that "good and intelligent people sit in quiet resignation, delusionals maintain hope". Given that my
physical needs are fairly easily met, my monkish existence fueled by a youthful idealism that I just can't completely shake, keeps me trying. I too, am completely Cynical about the hopes for Homa Ecologica Cooperativo,
and the rational evolution to a true human civilization, but, hey, I thought I'd go all the way with it. You know, contrast it with Homo Irrationalo Genocido Ecocido
Suicido!

Anyway, the linear trajectory of the non-ecological economic entropy will manifest itself by the logical conclusion of its creed, "to each his own" to
"to each his own nothing". Kunstler believes that everyone is going broke. How he can even imagine to have a handle on everyone, is beyond me, but despite the cheerleading gibberish of Obama and the oligarchic Plutocratic
media, my understanding of the economy makes it clear that it would have to be unraveling for almost everyone. There are no real opportunities left for enterprise, save the charlatan deal makers, whose days are numbered also.
Only that the masses are given no clues, led like sheep, euphoriated on hedonism, and given no collective voice for communicating and/or demanding a call for something completely different, keeps the deafening enginocentric
dynamo humming louder and louder and louder to its ultimate calling of lifelessness.

That's enough for now, I guess.

Pretty sure it was debunked as any type of missing link or common ancestor
