Gave me a chuckle remembering how i used to toy with idea of a trip to the probate court and a hundred dollar bill to change my name to Sugarman. Such a name for a lawyer. Ya wanna fuck with Sugarman? No, ha. Better give him what he wants…

Decent article Reg.

Bout sums it up.

I read about that jet today. I thought it was a joke. I think that the Deputy Editor of Jewish News Daniel Sugarman summed it up nicely…

It’s ok, lads, I’m sure you can land a plane in a storm navigating via your much-vaunted superior moral compass.

It’s Civilisation or Barbarism….

This article struck me as funny.

Religion flies you into buildings. Jew hate won’t allow you to land.

My response disappeared. I aint doing it again. It was cute funny fresh and substantive. Upon this you can rely. Or in hell may i fry.

Enco, agency, free will and similar notions are not part of Lama. It is as i indicated inheritability of acquired characteristics. In both instances when pondering Lamarck and Darwin change or evolution is dependent on individuals.

I think you misread the giraffe example. There is no disputing that forbears of modern giraffes had shorter necks.…[Read more]

@simonpaynton – cooperative breeding is also evolving 🙂

This seems like a good site for Evolution topics.

Humans are born as socially bootable apes

This level of infant care would have required a bit of social interaction, since it would have been difficult for new mothers to be the only one caring for and protecting a newborn from large predators and other dangers.

This ties in with what we already know about Homo…[Read more]

Enco,

Aint read about Gregor and his pissy peas for as long as i care to rememmber these. My impression though is of a monk who learned through observation the rules of pea reproduction and their traits. Dominant and recessive. Fixed rules. Determinism. Utilized it to produce artificial selection.

If survival of the fittest is the popular 1…[Read more]

Cheers Reg!

…and sharks have been around 50 million years longer than trees…….

The article concerning Lamarck makes sense. Darwin and Lamarck are kissing cousins. I suspect some of the most shocking adaptations are a result of the latter.

Here is one of the oldest organisms on earth that i recently ‘discovered’ and its origins and evolution would make good reading.

I recalled Pat Condell today when I was watching the first video.

Enco there are a great many capable advocates worthy of Israel’s hypothetical Department of Counter Propaganda.

Einat Wilf springs to mind. Started a lefty. Thought it was about land and eager to make a deal with Palestinians for two states. Educated at Harvard and i think Cambridge and a true academic. Has researched the bejesus out of Unwra and…[Read more]

Just a follow up on the AI reasoning and the human evaluation of truth story above.

Religion is our oldest large-scale example of hallucinating a ‘theological Polyfilla” into the gaps of our knowledge. As investigation expands, the gaps contract and less filler is required. Yet believers often treat the retreat as evidence of refinement rat…[Read more]

Have a great week !!

Enco,

Nothing new. Ideologues who can critique other side but are blind to their own stupidity.

Israel has plenty of rational nonideological defenders. Logical and intelligent folks. But it is a losing battle. Israel needs a department of counter propaganda. That department would be well served to produce content that dismantles the Palestinian…[Read more]

Enco,

The Arab/Palestinian project to kill Jews and eradicate Israel has nothing to do with land, territory or so called resistance to the fill in the blank lefty BS. It is religious. It is a supremacist religion that is trying to accomplish what it accuses Israel. It seeks power and is coming for the Jews first. Palestinians, an identity…[Read more]
