vitalism

I think it makes much more sense to say that life is matter that processes resources for its own benefit, than to say that life is that which contains a vital essence.

All living things have electrical and chemical energy coursing round their bodies.  When they die, this activity ceases.  Yet they are not b…[Read more]

Man, i aint heard nobody bring up nor have i read about vitalism in a dog’s age.

Enco it is thier fault.

Dealing or debating with lefty ideologues recently and being cancelled/thrown the fuck out of groups simply reinforces my preexisting take that ideology is brain death to its adherents. Not one argument. Nothing. Nada. I am a racist. Me? Gee…[Read more]

Life Is just Matter with Meaning.

This article is super-interesting.  Life is what happens when inert matter starts processing resources in order to promote its own survival.  That’s basically the starting axiom of my evolutionary ethics model.

They say the organism is processing information, which includes r…[Read more]

Thanks, Reg!!

How is this for a depraved and bankrupt culture? Circumvent the native impulses! Reputation as a good Muslim is more valuable than my worthless whore of a daughter. Be a Muslim! Fucking bitch was asking for it!

The lefty’s doing their utmost to preserve that disgusting culture will call you out if you expose the institution and ideas that…[Read more]

Reg,

Somehow that word bespoke escaped my attention until a few weeks ago. The application to medicine is a lot cooler than vain sartorial bs. I read the first two articles already but not the last few.

Can you imagine being the one with ALS or a loved one and discovering there is hope? Just incredible. Hopefully DMD and the other…[Read more]

Zionist scientist continue to lie to us. Apartheid medicine. Genocide science. The devil forms its alliance. Resist to the last the zionist entity. Unlike its myriad Islamic neighbors who are bastions of freedom and devoid of zionism it produces nothing. It must justify itself otherwise the project to annihilate world Jewry will be futile and for…[Read more]

Here are a few things to watch out for in the next few months, with risks seasonally increasing at social gatherings. Be cautious during gatherings, and increase your awareness in the following weeks and months of news about any spread of RSV, more than one type of avian flu, possibly Covid, and possibly (but less likely) measles. The CDC has been…[Read more]

But yes, we made progress in the sense that we evolved to live in all of the Earth’s extremes.

Yes, and we’ve wrecked every single one.  We can’t compare one species with another to say one is better than the other.  Like you say, each is optimised for their environment.

We’ve made progress – but in what kinds of…[Read more]

But cooperative breeding, known as ‘alloparenting’, where individuals other than the biological mother help raise offspring did not start with them. Hominins before erectus already had extended childhoods, reduced canines, increased sociality, and group-based foraging, all of which support cooperative care. Homo ere…

Apparently the first human species to make it out of Africa was Homo erectus, ~2 million years ago, and they were the first species to do cooperative breeding, meaning that a woman could have more than one child at once, because she got help in looking after them.  This meant that human children had longer in which to mature.

The human line must…[Read more]

Notice how dates are pushed back for the earliest fill in the blank? Big Bang. Human migration out of Africa. First humans in the Muricas. Fossils of hominids.

We know that there was a “last common ancestor” (LCA) of chimps/bonobos and humans around 6 million years ago.  I believe the human line got started around 4.5 million years ago.

They are not some sort of “old” humans or “failed humans”. They are modern chimpanzees and specialists in their own ecological niche and with their own evolutionary pressures. Humans didn’t “progress”, we diverged.

That’s true.  But what changed was our environment, when theirs didn’t.

So, where we learned to cop…[Read more]

Simon i think you are guilty of the same mindset as the scientists who first heard about Jane’s discovery.

Not at all, I’ve read a lot of Michael Tomasello and Frans de Waal about what chimps and bonobos can and can’t do, and how they behave.  It was Jane Goodall who paved the way for them.

Explained well and well explained as usual by Reg.

Simon i think you are guilty of the same mindset as the scientists who first heard about Jane’s discovery.
