According to that article in the Hill 11 percent MuriCUnz identify as Christian Nationalists. They have sympathizers who could perhaps be converted to see the light if the Christian nationalist wet dreams come to be.

Far left is in bed with Islam. So that means they support theocracies that would and do much worse than Christian Nationalists. In…[Read more]

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]

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]

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.

Enco, I can’t sign on to your read of Lamarck. I see him as a rationalist who sought to explain the natural world. Acquired characteristics passed on to offspring that are the stuff of change in that era is impressive. And while he did not know the mechanism in terms of the biology he was proposing evolution. And we are learning that the unknown…[Read more]

Hope you are right Reg about it being a small minority. If you are only including those who go out in kefiyeh’s and scream the slogans then i think that is true. In terms of actual views i don’t believe it to be the case. Certainly not in the USA. And from what i have read many places have greater numbers of anti-Israel/Jew like Belgium,…[Read more]

Enco, the inheritability of acquired characteristics is not wrong. It is part of the story of genetics. Mendel’s rules are part of that story also but the simplest version. Maybe there is an analogy between Newton’s understanding and Einstein’s. But the inheritability is beyond dispute. It is factual if not satisfactual to you.

It’s role in…[Read more]

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.

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]

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]

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.

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]
