Here is another post regarding the Sunday Book above.

I hate to be a killjoy but am I the only noticing that this group has pretty much become (excuse my French) a circle jerk? Only Reg, Enco, Jake, Pope, and Simon make contributions save for the weekly ‘Thank you Reg” by Strega.

My last couple posts raised question one would think any mentally awake and aware people would want to…[Read more]

Have a great week!

Over 50 years later and I can still recall the attar of silly putty. Beats incense any day. I guess plenty of young theists imprinted the face of Jesus in it and it stuck in the minds as the real deal 🙂

I made it through 232 of that video Enco. I got to 4:11. He does not know what atheism is and his arguments are terrible. But he does like “holy putty”.

Yes of course i meant WW1!

And in fairness that is a better mistake than this lady made. WW11 is way into the future and conducted in a few different solar systems if not galaxies.

I would be happy to see the Orthodox Jews stymied. Way too much political influence. Religion is poison wherever its ugly head shows.

In other news two words that…[Read more]

So about the podcast that delved into “AI Consciousness”. They barely mentioned until near the end WHY this is an important topic, and they noted their procrastination.

WRT my POV, it should mostly boil down to “What kind of ‘human rights’ might and should machines be given by law one day?”. Any live beings (as in meat bodies with brains) have…[Read more]

I made it through 232 of that video Enco. That guy ought to be horse whipped and pilloried.

Anyone who falls for that is fucking stupid.

Enco, I would nominate that tootsie roll commercial to all time iconic.

Ah, the old problem of cause and effect. I suppose if a study had been done in aftermath of Holocaust comparing the offspring of the women hiding in the forest from the Germans while pregnant with the ones who were born in concentration camps…yea right. Trauma everywhere…[Read more]

To ensure my wording was correct, I got  Chat-GPT to edit and verify where needed. There are 2 different questions:

1. Can severe trauma during pregnancy alter the biology of the developing fetus?

2. Can trauma experienced by a parent before conception leave epigenetic effects                that are later detectable in children?

The…[Read more]

Enco,

I can’t remember the title of book that described the anxiety of pregnant hiding from Nazis while pregnant and how all the kids were mental. But the imagery it created in my mind sure has sticky fingas.

There is no shortage of trauma in humans that would make ideal subjects to study this topic.

In other news every frickin time i zap…[Read more]

Enco,

Yea interesting vid on Lamarck.

I don’t know if anything got passed on to me epigenetically. Two generations removed from Germans murdering my family. Plus i am a half breed.

I could not find it on a quick search but i read about pregnant Jewish women somewhere in Eastern Europe who hid and later gave birth. All of the offspring had…[Read more]

Here is 24 intersting minutes topic Lamarck.

Greater threat of achieving power in USA, USI or some version of a Dominionist Christian? Which would be worse?

I am pretty sure the kneejerk response is gonna be far right Christians are a legit threat of achieving power. Islam is a fringe fad among far left and young.

What do i think? I guess it depends on whether far left or far right is…[Read more]

Enco,

Was not familiar with Dan. What an ignorant moron.

One more example that being an atheist in and of itself is no assurance of intelligence.
