    I made it through 232 of that video Enco. That guy ought to be horse whipped and pilloried.

    Anyone who falls for that is fucking stupid.

    Now, Jake! There’s no call for all that.

    Just don’t let Michael Guillen near heavy machinery, give him treats and point him towards a squirrel every now and then, and above all, do not send one red…[Read more]

    As the coffee cup turns and yearns to look away. Look away. Look away. Dixie land…

    For all of it’s slave labor and sharecropping, Dixieland could never raise coffee like Juan Valdez in Columbia. And since the caffiene bean is the IV of modern Industrial and Post-Industrial life, old times there are best not nostalgized.

  • Jake:

    And just think how Jews were burning to simply assimilate in Germany and even before it was called Germany. Excelled in professional positions. Super patriotic and decorated in second world war. No good deeds go unpunished and careful what ya ask for.

    Ackshuyally, I think you meant that German Jews were super patriotic and decorated in the…[Read more]

    Here, Mike and the Bots channel Bertrand Russell and let their thoughts look into the pit of Hell not only unafraid, but with back-to-back snarky quips. Crow and Mike even demonstrate one of the actual methods of execution used in the Witch Mania of Salem, MA:

    Just think, if it were Tucker Qatarlson and Candace Owens, they would chalk up child development of Holocaust survivor children and coffee cup positions to demons.🙄

    Oh, by the way, did you get the memo that we’re collapsing? Who wants to turn out the lights?

    Watch this and count the errors and fallacies and contradictions from…[Read more]

    A-One! Ta-Two! Th-Three! Th-Three!

    My handle faced forward both going in and going out of the microwave. I think I figured it out!

    I placed my coffee cup in the center, where the handle wouldn’t knock against the walls and window of the microwave. The turntable moved for 2 Minutes as per my setting.

    The turntable is spun by the…[Read more]

    I can’t remember the title of book that described the anxiety of pregnant hiding from Nazis while pregnant and how all the kids were mental. But the imagery it created in my mind sure has sticky fingas.

    There is no shortage of trauma in humans that would make ideal subjects to study this topic.

    I’m thinking that being a fetus inside o…[Read more]

    Where was this campaign of yours in the U.S.A. or the old country of Erin?

    I wouldn’t have torn poor Shepherd’s copy of The Holy Bible, but I would put a single bookmark in it referencing the Web Site for:

    The Skeptic’s Annotated Bible/Qu’ran/Book of Mormon

    Yep, one of the greatest Gorram Web Site’s…[Read more]

    The study in The Guardian article only had 32 Jewish men and womenwho were held in Nazi concentration camps, had suffered or witnessed tortured, or who had to hide during World War II.

    The premise of the study is worth exploring. but was an incredibly small sample. You are correct that it would help to study other people who have suffered…[Read more]

    This scene from the series Firefly always comes to mind whenever Ken Ham-Hands makes the news:

    Does Ken and his ark crew not believe in using tickets to tabulate visits?

    Don’t be a stranger, John. Feel free to chip in more stories. We aren’t omniscient, you know.

    Fantastic, enlightening video and book on Lamarck! I learned even more about him from this video.

    I didn’t know Lamarck was the first weatherman! Napoleon really screwed himself and his troops by dissing Lamarck. If Lamarck’s weather correspondence had extended to Russia, maybe Napoleon’s men wouldn’t have had to eat their own horses…[Read more]

    I DuckDuck-ed up the words “Epigenetics” and “Dutch Famine 1944” and “Holocaust victims.”. I think I now see where you get your attachment to the idea.

    I also watched some short videos on the subject and am in the middle of a Neil DeGrasse Tyson video on the subject of Epigenetic Trauma.

    Without meaning to drag up any pain you may have,…[Read more]

    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 people whom mothers trusted, was their own mothers, the grandmothers…

    Enco, I can’t sign on to your read of Lamarck. I see him as a rationalist who sought to explain the natural world.

    You just did sign on, because that and more is exactly what I said of Lamarck. But Rationalists can make mistakes as well, zas long as Reason is free to correct them, which Reason has.

    Mendel’s understanding is so pri…

    If only the Nazis had followed the ways of Dr. Leopold Z. They would either be sleepin’ wit’ da fishies Luca Brasi-style (or just Darwinian L.U.C.A.-style,) or just on a possibility, the Nazis would turn into giant Lox Nova Salmon or Gefilte:

    One thing I hope we all can agree on is that reality is a long way from epigenetic real-time cross-species metamorphosis communicated by casual contact. In other words, there is no such thing as a “Wur-wilf” -er- Werewolf:

  • Hemant Mehta of the Friendly Atheist Channel has it right about which religion is the bigger threat to freedom in the U.S.A., but not which one is the biggest threat globally. This probably also informs Mehta’s support elsewhere of the propaganda of Gaza Genocide by Israel. Armin Navabi and Johanna Browne call Hemant Mehta out on his…[Read more]

  • On the Talk Heathen Channel, Emma Thorne, so-called Objectively Dan, and caller David all garble a few kernels of facts about Evangelical Christians and Observant Religious Jews with the usual hateful screeds of Israel as an Apartheid, Colonialist Ethnostate, with Israel smeared by all conversationists and all viewers left rolling their eyes and…[Read more]

    Great article from The European Conservative! Perfectly in the same genre as the resolute works of Ibn Warraq, Wafa Sultan, and Salman Rushdie!

    What I find disturbing is that the Jew/Israel hatred is not only spreading among the politically fanatical Woke Left and Woke Right, but it is even spreading among people who professedly…[Read more]

  • Jake:

    Epigenetic inheritability is a fact, but that, of. course was not what Lamarckianism defended.

    What Lamarck defended would amount to saying that a tattoo, a cut, a burn, or an amputation on a parent would pass on by heredity to offspring. Obviously, none of that is the case.

    Epigenetic Inheritability is closer to Mendelianism in that…[Read more]
