UN is the body that oversees human rights and preserves the need for human rights oversights.

If it were not so human and mindlessly driven by racist ideology i would call it a shameful body and just one more pathetic play.

UNWRA gonna run with ya and produce more terrorists. Very important that the resistance is not met with resistance. She…[Read more]

Patience for patients is outstanding with you two.

Older i get more apparent it is that something is definitely wrong. Has evolution created a scenario where only a few among us can think their way out of a paper bag?

Anyone who is religious and has been exposed or given opps to learn and dig out of ignorance is….
Even without religion which…[Read more]

I was just talking about Rosalind Franklin yesterday to someone! Her data was shared with Watson and Crick without her consent, via Wilkins and indirectly through Max Perutz. Her intellectual contribution was not recognized in 1953 the way it should have been, so by 1962 the Nobel committee did not see her as a third discoverer. Crick later said…[Read more]

The Nobel is about the invention, not the person. Shockley won his Nobel Prize for his role in the invention of the transistor. Late in life he spiralled into racist pseudoscience, eugenics, and intellectual self-destruction.

Pauling won his first on chemical bonding which was foundational. His work underpins everything from protein structure to…[Read more]

@theencogitationer – if you do that math, it’s 1-2-3-4 gruesome.

Why is Jesus not upside down, or at a quarter to, or quarter past?  Why that particular orientation of feet down?

Yes, Telly on the telly had the lollipoppy, to be Frank.

I wonder which university this boy will attend?

Yes Jake, I agree with “it depends on how we view the proximate cause of its ruination.” 

The proximate cause depends on which lens you pick up. AI isn’t the culprit here, it’s the accelerant. It exposes the cracks and widens them, but it also widens the horizons for anyone who does think. The tragedy is that the number who engage critically has…[Read more]
