In fact Unseen, one of the few generalisations about men and women per differences in attraction that actually stands up to empirical testing is how far more likely men are to be attracted or even turned on by facsimiles of people (a mannequin or cartoon or even an animal character such as a highly sexualised cat character in a comic).

Wow that guy went from making cheesy top 10 videos to something a little more substantive. I enjoyed watching the recent series “Star Trek Picard” which deals with the problem of artificial intelligence in the last half of the series. It dealt,  to some extent with a self-fulfilling prophecy. The belief that it was inevitable that AI would one…[Read more]

By the way, back to the original post. I also read his book on the historicity of Jesus and his case was indeed quite compelling.

If people in states like California don’t vote because they are certain their state will go Democrat, that is still a lot of votes that aren’t given that skew the overall…[Read more]

Ivy your claim likely comes from a heavily American-centric view of Atheism and doesn’t represent the rest of the world very well.

They don’t…[Read more]
