Cesar Deicide

It’s always dicey on these reality survival shows the contestants trying to make fire. I would have no clue without matches or a lighter.

Keeping the fire going might have been the beginning of religion.

Jake:

Our predecessors were smarter than most of us today about what can create fire.

Without human assistance, fire can come from lightning strikes, volcanic lava, and the right rocks and crystals striking just perfectly from an avalanche. Even a drop of water that refracts visible sunlight into a rainbow can also focus sunlight to a point…[Read more]

Just read about some archeological discovery that pushed back our ancestor’s use of fire to 1.8 million years.

Ya think they were as stupid as Trump lovers?

Fellow Unbelievers:

Someone sadly never told Trump that this not a desireable aspiration to have:

Enco,

I think among Israelis there is probably a strong majority who see it that way. Being dependent on the Americans is a mistake. Political winds change as in democrats are in office and the lefty demonization of Israel leaves Israel high and dry. And i don’t think it will make much difference in terms of the next political faction in Israel…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers:

Isreal shouldn’t feel singled-out though. Americans, too are dressed down and Patronized by Junkyard Dog Vance who tells us to “Have a little faith” in Donald “Healing Hands” Jebus!

Fellow Unbelievers:

You know, Israel might be better off without military aid from the U.S. and many wise Israelis have said so as well.

Not only would they have the flexibility to get their arms from many sources instead of just U.S. suppliers (as is required by conditions of U.S. aid), but Israel wouldn’t have to put up with getting dressed…[Read more]

Reg and Jake:

I meant to add another Bierce-ism I paraphrase from a bumper sticker I saw years ago:

Little Big Horn–A litigious battle in which General George Armstrong Custer was Sioux-ed.

Reg:

Trumps treaty with Iran was the greatest Treaty of Versailles. If it gets broken he should sign the next one in Fort Laramie. Does Little Big Horn have an airport?

First, the “Memorandum Of Understanding” (MOU) isn’t even on the same level as a Treaty, which Constitutionally requires Congressional approval. The MOU is basically Trump…[Read more]

Spine tingling crowd fury. Inarguable.

Algorithms amplify this because they manufacture the sensation of being in a crowd? Makes sense. And it seems to increase the intransigence of the tribal thinking. When so many refuse to even engage with a contrary position or argument that is religious behavior hopped up by algorithms. Those folks are not…[Read more]

Crowds dissolve responsibility. Alone, a person may hesitate but in a horde they become like the Walking Dead. They can feel carried by history, destiny, the movement, the nation, the market, the platform, the faith, the “will of the people.” That is intoxicating. It turns ordinary people into instruments of something they would never fully end…[Read more]

Jake:

The Wokester people accusing the woman of sexual harassment of the man are presuming a lot not found in evidence about the intentions of both. Blackmail also is a very serious criminal charge and both this and the particular pay dispute would require more facts to evaluate.

If none these people are legal clients, I’d give the whole…[Read more]

Enco,

I am not sure how great a departure it is chatting with lefties (progressives, wokes or whatever ya call em!) compared to cultists or fundamentalists in regards to their “scripture.” Literally the most asinine take that this lady had committed heinous sexual harassment was not to be questioned. When i countered the ridiculous contention…[Read more]

Simon:

Yes, I use “woke” to mean “ludicrous decisions taken in the name of equality”. Progressive, I like. Woke is ridiculous.

To illustrate how little these terms mean, you can be Woke with a gentle alarm and a cup of coffee or Woke by a gunshot. You can be Progressive going to a new home or Progressive going over a cliff. You can be Conserv…[Read more]

Jake:

It’s surprising that either of these people aren’t unpersoned and subject to terrorism by Ingrid Newkirk and the Animal Liberation Front crowd for having anything to do with the horse trade. Be safe yourself. These are a dangerous, accelerationist, misanthropic bunch.

I knew of a school in the Washington DC area.  Many of the Black kids used to come in with their hoods up.  The teachers, inc…[Read more]

Here is a little story that amused me. It informs me just how driven by ideology and divorced of sense lefties tend to be.

So some gal on social media posts how she as an owner of horses has a dispute over money owed to her by her horse trainer. The trainer is a male and they had a heretofore flirtatious relationship. She sent him a pic after…[Read more]

Agreed Enco.

Just a pathetic execution and a guy who continues to fly by the seat of his impulsive thoughts. And i constantly am bemused by the analysis of his comments. Trump said…..blah blah blah….

He is so full of shit that it is simply fake to anlayze what he said and compare it to what he did. How much more evidence is required to know…[Read more]

Jake:

That one Iranian guy welcomes end of war so the citizens can continue to be slaughtered while they resist.1

If both Trump’s war effort and internal resistance against the IRGC were coordinated well in advance, that book of thousands of slain might not be as large or even exist. But Trump, being the glory hound he is, just went…[Read more]
