And of course Jesus did not allow himself to be born in China where people could read and write and did Science.

@jakelafort….of course we are still going to fact check you 🙂 I know you wouldn’t expect less!

Yes, China had a unique floating orchard ship in its fleet during the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644) to help prevent scurvy among sailors on long voyages.

The Ming Dynasty “Floating Orchard” Ship:

During the early 15th century, when Admiral Zheng He l…[Read more]

The cognitive dissonance and suicidal ideation are amazing to behold.

Yes, I am still surprised that I am still stunned into bafflement at times by the cognitive dissonant statements that trickle down their enfeebled brains and dribble out of their mouths.

I usually have the thought “If I could only remember where I parked my damn spaceship so I…[Read more]

Back in the mid 80’s I designed a searchable database* for the Dept. of Health in Westminster. It was used to pull info on the number of reported AIDS cases submitted by all the British Embassies around the world. The report from China read (I hope the official secrets act I took has expired!!) that there were 2 cases in China (out of a population…[Read more]

I think the Kibbutz is a great idea. Many Irish people worked on one for the summer back in the 70’s and 80’s. I have never met anyone who had a bad experience there.

I am sick of hearing from ignorant lefties who think that social media educates them and that their ill-informed opinions are of equal value to freethinkers who study the facts…[Read more]

Who needs the stupid FDA anyway! I am going to chill out tomorrow with a lucky dip of compound meds from “Hims and Hers”.

I think people in Europe are not so much annoyed with Trump as they are with America in general. They are having difficulty in understanding why so many people voted for him when it is blatantly obvious that he has no presidential qualities. They are laughing about it but it is gallows humor. But I also think most of them “have enough already” but…[Read more]

…and the idea for a sovereign wealth fund is not a very good one…

The author of that article on the gain-of-function research does not understand what gain-of-function research is.

“It depends on your definition of gain-of-function research,” (Dr) Tabak answered. “If you’re speaking about the generic term, yes, we did.”

This is how penicillin was developed. The same is true of much of the genetic work done…[Read more]

@jakelafort…… But the point is as much as we may dread the unknowns associated with AI there is also reason for optimism. 

Speedy pattern recognition is a trait of high intelligence. It is seeing the patterns and associations in large data sets that make A.I. what it is. Improved underlying algorithms  and more processing power will make it e…[Read more]

That A.I. medical story is going to be the first of many. This kind of drug repurposing will be a game-changer for rare diseases with limited treatment options.

Sorry, my bad. I thought I had shared that link to State Capture above. Please try it again here.

Some commentary on “State Capture“.

Yeah, a two-state solution, as traditionally envisioned, is no longer a realistic outcome. A lot of Western leaders are still calling for one, in response to Trump’s “Riviera” idea. Palestinian political disunity is a major problem as their leadership is split between the Palestinian Authority (PA) in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza. The PA is…[Read more]

A poll conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PCPSR) between November 22 and December 2, 2023, found that 72% of Palestinians believed Hamas’s decision to launch the October 7 attack on Israel was correct. support was higher in the West Bank (82%) compared to the Gaza Strip (57%).

However, subsequent surveys…[Read more]

Steve Bannon was right when he spoke about muzzle velocity in 2019.

From a non-profit aid group in Africa…..a gag order from the US State Department accompanied the international aid freeze, preventing humanitarian agencies from speaking about the situation. ………….One senior official said: “There isn’t even a working email to contact them to see what is hap…[Read more]

I think the current USAID spend is 0.35% of 1% of GNP. The loss of goodwill (if you treat it as a balance sheet asset) will cost a lot most. Capital Expenditure is treated as an investment, not a “waste of money expense”.  Goodwill is the interest generated from that. USAID accounts for about 42% of the annual UN humanitarian relief aid. I wond…[Read more]
