Man's Greatest Triumph

Man has an impressive resume.

More than any other species he has harnessed the natural environment around him. He has traveled to the moon. He has changed the landscape with buildings and roads. He has made lakes in the desert and built islands in the ocean.

Man also has infinite creative potential. The music of Mozart. The artistic miracles of Michelangelo. The philosophical works of Socrates, John Locke, Descartes. He has gained insight into the intangible forces working around him through the piercing minds of Newton, Einstein, and Hawking.

Most amazing to me, man has conquered himself. The secrets of the human body and the illnesses that afflict it are being unraveled in more and more detail daily. Man is now able to grow organs on mice, use bacteria to produce life-saving insulin, and use a wide array of synthetic compounds to treat disease.

All these forces have been working in unison to align man for his greatest achievement.

So then, what is Man's greatest triumph? I Can't Believe It's not Butter 0 calorie spray.

Butter is the Julius Caesar of the food world. It has conquered even the most vile tasting foods and given them the opportunity to rise to greatness. It can act as a lubricant to prevent food from adhering to dishes. But like Caesar, butter is not without flaw. It is calorie dense and has sent many to an early artery-clogged grave. But no more.

Man has captured the powerful flavor of butter and stripped away the evil--removed the thorn from the rose.

Truly, these are amazing times.
