Tribalism: How “Us vs. Them” takes hold.

“Race riot.”. Very clever. I see what they did there.

If there has to be any preferences in Universities, it should be for Sri Lankans, Rwandans, Balkans, and Singaporans to teach all the DEI Woke Eggheads and Free Palestine-ers that their way lies madness.

Reg:

Funny thing. The promoters of high-Alkaline “Kangen” water call their concoction “Restructured” water. So basically an old wine in a new bottle.

One of the promoters of “Kangen” Water approached me about it, saying that it’s anti-acidic properties might help my diabetic foot wounds. I don’t think it got though to her when I reminded her…[Read more]

World of Woo: Structured water.

Funny, I didn’t think the meltoff from Igloos had health benefits. 😁

Thank you, I’ll be here all week! Try the veal!

Armin Navabi’s YouTube Channel Atheist Republic has been going non-stop covering Iran’s uprising as well as the Israel-Hamas War before that.

So much to take in all at once, but well worth jumping in!

Inshallah

No, “الشعب الإيراني مستعد”. “The Iranian people willing.”

I just hope that there’s no more destruction than is necessary to free the Iranian people. From what I’ve seen of interior pictures, mosques could make really great dance halls and skating rinks.

Me, in conversation with a evangelical street preacher in Dublin last week.

What did they say back?  Anything?  Very well put.

Thanks Reg!!

“Most of my friends are so well educated they can scarcely believe God exists.”

Theologian Lelio Sozzini in a letter to John Calvin on 14 May 1549 from Switzerland, commenting on the unusually high level of skepticism about God’s existence among educated men in Italy. It was an early encounter with what later historians see as the rise of s…[Read more]

Have a great week!!

“I must respect your beliefs?? Some chance of me doing that when I don’t even respect my own. I don’t believe things to feel safe. You don’t want your beliefs respected. You want them immunized for criticism. Once they are protected from scrutiny, beliefs will metastasize into ideology and when ideology remains unchall…[Read more]

If the Ayatoldyaso regime is overthrown there goes the funding for the terrorist proxies. Presumably. There in living color is a social experiment in Islamic rule played out and receiving an F. One might suppose the American ideal of separation between church and state as the sine qua non of decent governance is more obvious than ever. For greater…[Read more]

Enco,

Inshallah.

Also noteworthy: There are Muslim nations that are stricter on The Muslim Brotherhood than either the U.S. or U.K. Even Muslims hate Islamism when pressed hard enough.

Jake:

I’m hoping the Iranians have got this. I do know between between Trump’s sparing of the regime and restraining Israel from taking out the regime, the worse thing that Trump could do is get involved.

Trump’s half-assed handling of Venezuela and Greenland also punctuates this all the more.

There are reports of 100s of citizens of Iran protesting and murdered. Is it treason to oppose the hands of tyranny?

There is the possibility that the lives of millions will improve markedly in Iran. And in so doing stabilize the middle east. Little Israel far from causing world war 3 as the lefty filth hoped has been an instrumental fillip in…[Read more]

I found this amusing as Prager is at Oxford to embarrass the brain dead students. UAE knows of what it speaks.

How is this for an unforseeable development if we were to look back just a few years?

Unholy alliance between Islam and the far left has resulted in an Islamic nation being unwilling to pay for its own to attend British schools because they are too…[Read more]

Misinformation spread by adversaries and AI

Also, using AI to recognize it.
10-1/2 minutes, plus a one-minute self-promotion at the end:

The link works. I have a full NYT sub so can share 10 stories per month. I was on the phone with a friend in Zaporizhzhia a few nights ago. We had drones and gunfire for almost all of the call.

Reg dropped a link to an awesomely informative NYT article about AI advancement in drones supplied to or made by Ukraine. I got so immersed in it I lost track of time. Microsoft’s CoPilot gave me a summary of quotes from it. See it below the link. CoPilot also estimated a reading time of 20 minutes, but it felt more like an hour-long…[Read more]
