Get Back into your Cave (A Modest Wager)

“Oh no—you can’t know that at all!

No mortal mind can stand so tall.

You can’t just say ‘there are no gods,’

That’s arrogance in thinking clods.”

I sip my tea. “I never claimed

A truth so final, neatly framed.

I said I’m not convinced—so far—

No deity has raised the bar.”

“But wai…[Read more]

I just bought a book titled Poisoned Ivies. I know the antecedents and the influences of the lefty scum in their Jew hatred but i want to know the mechanics of how they’ve infected our universities and general zeitgeist. Hopefully this books gives some of that story.

Meanwhile imagine being this woman and waiting to be executed. And the…[Read more]

Ditto for higher dose flu vaccine.

A podcast about that from Microbe.TV, This Week In Virology (TWIV) Episode #1313: Audio; Video.

I’ve listened to most TWIV audio episodes since Covid hit in 2020. Most of it goes deep and is over my head, so I listen to help me fall asleep…[Read more]

The developing world would have a lot less child mortality if we could stop reverse-developing nations from recruiting and kidnapping children for combat. Maybe FEMA’s Gregg Phillips could teleport Iran’s children safely away from the IRGC:

I am wondering whether AI is progressing rapidly.

I asked it to critique Craig without using any of the arguments from Hitchens or Harris. Wowzers. Prefaced it with I want to know YOUR arguments. Of course i have no way to know if it is filched or original thinking.

There is a new study done on benefits of getting the Shingles vaccine. I will get it soon as I had chicken pox when I was young.

Highly recommended. I got my two shots a few years ago, since I had Chicken Pox as a kid. The Shingles vaccine comes in a pair of shots spaced out over 2-6 months and you get to have fun saying the…[Read more]

I get the connection you’re making, but really, is there more than just the name to discredit good science in a different discipline?

I’ll take as a win, the fact that we agree about Musk.

I should be more clear: I am all for vaccines as a life-saving technology. I think they should be available over-the-counter in Epi-Pens, eve…[Read more]

PopeBeanie:

Musk is out of his depth on vaccines (and probably on rocketry too, judging from how he like to blow shit up on his laugh pads)…

But just gotta say, Germany isn’t helping it’s case by naming it’s vaccine regulator the Paul Ehrlich Institute, if this is the same one who wrote The Population Bomb which held that we humans reached…[Read more]

Or we just look the other way and pretend it is the evil zionist regime that is the problem.

Hey if little girls can be raped and married off why can’t little boys be human fodder. They are awesome at protecting tanks by sweeping minefields.

Enco,

I wish Sam had done better against Craig. He outperformed Hitchens but i would have loved to have seen him debate my father. I am pretty sure he would have embarrassed Craig.

I hate to see guys like that sustained and credible in the eyes of academia. Same with the cant from the lefties. Debates could become features of the culture. Lets…[Read more]

That should be Thank Gregor Mendel, Norman Borlaug, and Genentech for GMOs. Gaia née Earth just unconsciously provided the raw materials.

And the most important reason for thanks is The Green Revolution that saved a billion humans from starvation. This helps people cope with reality without psychotropic drugs.

We’re all on the same topic. The same God William Lane Craig is trying to defend is the same God that Donald J. Trump thinks and portrays himself to be and the same God whose standards which MAGA zombies use to judge Trump. And since God-guided MAGA is splitting up on Trump for various reasons, there is no God-guided consensus in…[Read more]

Hate to post anything on topic

Fellow Unbelievers:

As much as I’ll be glad when Trump is out of the White House, I’ll be so sad if this is what gets him thrown out:

World of Woo: Netflix and The Plastic Detox.

Glad you posted this. It fits in nicely with my earlier post on the problem of even accurately detecting microplastics and thus determining how much, if any, is toxic.

So far, the biggest danger posed by plastic are from standing water in containers, sharp edges on hard plastics, and trip…[Read more]
