Will e-coli parties be as successful as measles parties are?

Not just e-coli but anything the cow’s udder touches or anything the cow isn’t innoculated to prevent. (And Anti-Vaxxerism tends come with Raw Milk Cultism and tends to be a cross-species pathology.) The e-coli party could also include Amoebic Dysentery, Botulism, Bird Flu,…[Read more]

Ecumunism does not always mean peace or tolerance. Sometimes it just means sharing a common hatred:

A very quick-witted reply.

I think the top killer for the tribe is heart attacks or heart disease, closely followed by untreated diabetes. Sleep apnea would be a long way down that list.

They are all interrelated and even reinforcing. Obstructed sleep affects the brain which also affects heart and pancreas gland functioning. It also affects strength to exercise…[Read more]

When I think of Mantras, I think of the old Matt Groening cartoon from his pre-Simpsons days doing the comic strip “Life in Hell.”. He drew an anthropomorphized cow sitting in a lotus position and saying: “Your Mantra is: Moooo!” 🐮😁

I hate to be a buzz-harsher, but that snoring you heard could be a sign of potentially deadly sleep apnea.

I hope the Maori of today are not so isolated from medical modernity that they don’t see a Physician about that.

Here is AI response to “Do chimps have culture?”

Yes, chimpanzees exhibit culture, defined as behaviors that are socially transmitted rather than genetically inherited or caused solely by ecological factors. Different chimpanzee communities across Africa possess unique traditions—such as specific tool usage, grooming techniques, and c…[Read more]

All true, and again, chimps are like that without human assistance or encouragement.

This fits in with the behaviours of some of the far flung tribal groups I’ve lived with. For them, religion is a comfort, not a cause. They still have aggression, but the dividers between ‘them’ and ‘us’ are more commonly tribal root orientated, or territorially driven rather than ideological

Why humans are not clever chimps. (interesting site)

Well, there are lots of things to be said here.

A 13.5 percent difference in DNA versus 1.4 percent difference is still comparatively close and humans, chimps, and apes are still close enough to all be equally on the primate branch of the Darwinian Tree of Life.…[Read more]

I admit I am coming at this from a place of bias as a Sapient-ist, and it probably not fair for me to “What-about” with dumb animals who can’t argue back. But I do want to stand against making humans seem worse than other species too.

Yes, the elephant never forgets and this one probably didn’t forget hunters like this one either.
