Reg:
I meant to say “benefactor of humanity” instead of “generator of humanity”, though, of course, USAID isn’t either if it bankrolls terrorism. This isn’t “soft power” but soft-headedness.
Regarding John Bolton, it is funny that Trump called him a “low-life”, when Trump hired him during his first Term. Trump is essentially showcasing his…[Read more]

Sunday School 1 year, 2 months agoA wider Scope for Mr. Pope:
For what it’s worth, your generalization doesn’t apply to me.
I did mention once that some of Israel’s actions have the same outcomes as war crimes, but I don’t obsess over them, except for the Palestinian children who have no say.
Even then, cold objectivity leads me to concluding that there has never been an effe…[Read more]

Reg,
Lots to process here, but USAID is no generator of humanity if it does things like this:
Terror Finance at the State Department and USAID
MEF research finds that the Department of State and U.S. Agency for International Development have provided hundreds of millions of dollars to organizations involved with designated terrorist…[Read more] -

Sunday School 1 year, 2 months agoPopeBeanie Even then, cold objectivity leads me to concluding that there has never been an effectively humane solution, such that even a huge asteroid wiping out that area naturally, i.e. sans human intervention, could have been better for humanity. And easier for outsiders to accept. (How cold is that?)
Wow Pope, that’s some statement. Is it co…[Read more]

The damage to American credibility goes far beyond economic policy. Shutting down USAID wasn’t a minor budget; it was a strategic self-inflicted wound to U.S. credibility and influence. The world sees it as a cynical and petty move, given that it was only about 0.1% of GDP. That’s pennies compared to GDP but it bought enormous goodwill and inf…[Read more]

Science Is Not “Truth” but can it be “Holy Shit” still?
Jim Horgan forgets that it is precisely the “impure” practical uses of “pure” science that makes it “Holy Shit” science. We need more science channelled toward “Holy Shit” purposes like healing diabetic foot wounds with the speed of Dr. “Bones” McCoy on Star Trek.
And the people…[Read more]

World of Woo: RFK Jr.’s conspiracies make it into MAHA draft report.
I’m actually glad that RFK Jr.’s report didn’t say anything about food eyes that would probably require gallons drank over long periods of time to have any I’ll effect, as with flouride and artificial sweetners.
And I’m glad the report didn’t regard guns and motor v…[Read more]

I’m currently reading “The Weirdest People in the World” by Joseph Henrich. It’s very interesting on the formation of religions and why people in the West are so individualist.
