Americans are so inured to being hyped and lied to that they just believe whatever the fuck they want to believe, which can be whatever makes their life more exciting (scary?) and also confirms their worldview.

I think this is true. People who have little to lose are more than glad to see it all crash down, at least they get to…[Read more]

Voters in the US are superficial as hell. How many people can name a single bill or who supported it? Someone trips on a stairway and they have their man.

The full dressed up MAGA clowns are the worst. When questioned out comes the 4th grade vocabulary that can barely express their complete ignorance. They will throw themselves under the bus to…[Read more]

Hi! I certainly hope Trump loses.

Yes. Me too. Otherwise, the Trump suckers, many who are living on social security and collecting Medicare won’t be able to afford a red MAGA hat when he gets done with them, LOL. Lots can happen in a year, but it does not look good right now.

Better to focus on that next branch.

Robert and Unseen, Paul Ehrlich’s “The Population Bomb was wrong from the get-go, and his famous wager with Julian Simon about shortages of resources only punctuates that.

There is no better proof that we evolved from apes than M. Greene. Once we go out into the jungle and just look at that ape-like facial structure and observe her tribal behavior.

I do wonder if real women will be replaced with sex toys by men who are not making good money or are shorter than 5’10”. The population reduction may save the planet, who knows?

The “population bomb” used to be thought to be a population expanding beyond the planet’s ability to support it. The current thinking,…

Yeah, false empathy is a real emotion. If the day comes when man-made, true biological, sentient “beings” are a reality; then there will be intense ethical issues. However, a human-looking computer is just receiving ill-placed passion from foolish people if they all bent out of shape by someone switching its power switch to OFF.

At what point does intelligent AI qualify as “life.” We have enough trouble defining the kind of life we accept as living. Do viruses qualify as life? At what point is a fertilized egg alive? Immediately or when it becomes viable or once it’s born and can survive (with help) outside the womb?

Obviously, there are momentous physi…[Read more]

Well that all adds up. In my youth most of us did have shared experiences through rock/pop music. Seeing a favorite band on late night TV was an event.
