I asked AI “in the shadow of man synopsis of book in terms of great apes relation to man?

“In the Shadow of Man chronicles Jane Goodall’s early research and demonstrates the close relationship between humans and chimpanzees by revealing their complex social lives, emotional depth, and intelligence, which challenged the prevailing view of humans…[Read more]

Simon,

You’ve found a creationist meme. How cool.

Link Stink.

This should be the article i intended.

I am glad humans learn. Too bad it was not on the level of a chimp. Eu continues to fund PA says this article in spite of refusing to alter the curriculum. Yea shit is gonna change in Gaza/West Bank real quick with the most vile indoctrination imaginable. Read it. It aint long.

Enco,

What is the difference between a humman and a chimp?

One wants to free Palestine and the other wants to free a banana. One is monkey see, monkey do. The other is Monkey hear, monkey believe. One sticks his tool in an ant mound and comes up with ants. The other sticks his tool some other place and comes up with crabs.

Yeah there is…[Read more]

Oh and i should adduce cuz what the deuce that Goodall herself was a theist. I was disappointed to learn of her blind spot. But there it was. And the leak on her head was a reference to Leakey. Not saying Richard Leakey had a big giant prostate and no matter how much he shook the last dribble ended up in his…

That was not autobiographical. Ok…[Read more]

Lets call it group-think. Come on man.

Are scientists as vulnerable to that oh so human attribute? Probably not but it aint exactly inexistent.

The thing has never left me is how i would sit there in elementary school through some boring classes on how we homo sapiens were unique in the animal kingdom. Yeah BS i thought. We aint giving other…[Read more]

A wise man is quoted:

Once you no longer reserve a hidden compartment in your reasoning for “maybe there’s a divine exception,” the entire field of view opens up. You stop having to protect contradictions, and patterns that were once blurred by reverence or taboo become visible.
I don’t carry a residual conceptual veto. When you remove that in…[Read more]

Pope, that is a decent mini & semi rant.

As the nation declines the exigency for the Trump takeover is accelerated. In other words he must seize power before it is too late. Things get too FUBAR and most of his support disappears. Independents almost entirely i would think. And even a significant segment of his hard core backers. No way he is…[Read more]

Pope i don’t think the great majority of MAGA care what he does. Only thing that seemed to be an issue for them….Epstein bar virus.

I cited a poll about the supporter’s and their proclivities concerning King Trump. They don’t much care about democracy.

I had Mr. Lloyd for 7th grade social studies. Pretty sure my teacher would not have had the courage to look the lefty’s in the eye.

Churchill would roll over on his cloud and fall through a wormhole into a different dimension to avoid the stench.

Words and thoughts we invent. Words and thoughts of the president. Is he real? Can we know? Just a robot, Joe Blow?

Tea with thee is glee. Tea for free without me. Tee off. Check your balls. Cough! Cough! Easy mister that hurts. He squirts and ejaculates as the bot conflates concepts, confuses dates, misstates facts sprays unhealthy snacks. Even…[Read more]

Really well said Reg in a departure from lots of other really well said.

Garden of Earthly Delights.

You might think the ideals of America would be sacrosanct with the young and educated. Alas a smack what they aint got they lack. Globalize the intifada! Free Palestine.

But hey Dems did ok and Trump’s support was not a hamburger helper. So maybe the train will stay on the tracks.

When i skim science headlines (and yea read some of the articles) and think back just 4 or 5 yrs. today’s headlines feel like sci fi. The richness of the prospect for improving our lives is staggering. At same time it feels like the norms and beliefs and stupidity are overflowing their toilet and depositing turds everywhere you look.

Toppings and droppings.

Those chimps can of course do that. It would be surprising were it not so. I knew when i was a kid how stupid the so called scientists’ approach to other animal intelligence. But that is not same as beliefs humans hold in Trump and lefty beliefs et. al.

If chimps are capable of that sort of ideological belief formation…[Read more]

In the event some lurker is confused about the Israel and Palestine morality play this video is worth watching.

Strega,

Valid question and one that has occurred to me as well.

The AI faith and hope connection is a dodge. Probably reflects the biases of the public and the creators. Would not want to shoot anyone in the nuts with reality.

And yes of course there is as we all know a mundane usage of faith that is not at all the same as what is meant by faith in connection to religion. (That applies in my opinion to…[Read more]
