To ensure my wording was correct, I got  Chat-GPT to edit and verify where needed. There are 2 different questions:

1. Can severe trauma during pregnancy alter the biology of the developing fetus?

2. Can trauma experienced by a parent before conception leave epigenetic effects                that are later detectable in children?

cooperative breeding is also evolving 🙂

The Homo erectus cooperative breeding was the culmination of a long process of peeling un-weaned infants away from their mothers, that might have taken 2-4 million years.  Great ape mothers do not like to give up their babies to anyone else.  It makes sense that the first p…[Read more]

Yet even if you put together all the hardcore Islamist loons and their allies on the braindead European Left, these people still amount to a small minority. How then have they become so seemingly powerful and threatening?

This ties in with what we already know about Homo…[Read more]

I recalled Pat Condell today when I was watching the first video.

Just a follow up on the AI reasoning and the human evaluation of truth story above.

Religion is our oldest large-scale example of hallucinating a ‘theological Polyfilla” into the gaps of our knowledge. As investigation expands, the gaps contract and less filler is required. Yet believers often treat the retreat as evidence of refinement rat…[Read more]

Have a great week !!

I don’t think organizations become antisemitic overnight.  There is always a history to it. They seem to have a sort ‘mission creep’ that takes the form of dog whistles and vomits forth its sad rhetoric every so often to virtue signals to its proud and clueless audience.

No, he was told to remove the wording. I had told him prior to event that he most likely would be asked to remove or change the wording. It made specific health claims. It would have be acceptable if he had worded a “may help…”. He was not bothered by it as he ran several successful companies selling unrelated products across different sectors.…[Read more]
