Simon:

That’s not true at all. There’s plenty of evidence of prehistoric people caring for their sick and injured, and this evidence increases as we get nearer the present day.

There’s no denying that primitive people certainly got injured often. I know this from a flintknapping class where we had to wear safety goggles, leather gloves, and…[Read more]

Simon:

That’s pretty much what woke people used to say. I don’t think we should cancel people, I think we should talk to them and debate them.

Talk and debate is good when it can actually change minds. With the Woke and MAGA crowds that need changing, I’m thinking they are too much in their own echo chambers to be reached.

The sad thing about those headlines is that they are both news and in a sense not news.

Debunking the myth of truly egalitarian societies in human history.

Of course. All Hunter-Gatherers are equal, but some hunt and gather more than others. And you know, even though they were more advanced than previously thought, the only thing equal with Hunter-Gatherers was grunting and groaning if they built Gobeckli Tepe. There would…[Read more]

How, when and why wellness influencers have gained the ability to spread health misinformation on social media.

The length of this article is part the reason why wellness disinformation prevails. You could watch 100 TikTok wellness videos in the time it takes to read this article.

People who seek to convey accurate science information…[Read more]

PopeBeanie,

Your work on this research is appreciated!

And the Shambling Mound known as Donald J. Trump thanks us all for our attention to this matter.

More attention to Jesus, Dracula, and other undead beings means less attention to double-tapped civilian boats, the Epstein Files, appeasement of the other Vlad (Putin) and blood-lusting Saudi…[Read more]

Reg,

Let’s not forget the wooden stake through his heart would form a sundial which would further confirm your findings, especially since the Sun would make Dracula crumble away. 1 Stake 0 Dracula 1 Argument From Credulity. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Jake,

Look in the comments of the article. Some sicko going by the name “Heaven” actually found a way to blame the “honor killing” on Israel and the United States.

Jake and Reg,

If only the FDA would automatically approve every such innovation from Israeli scientists.

And if only State medical authorities would approve more openings in medical schools so there could be more professionals to perform these wonders.

And if only States would abolish “Certificates Of Need” so that construction of more…[Read more]

Simon,

Yes, and we’ve wrecked every single one. We can’t compare one species with another to say one is better than the other. Like you say, each is optimised for their environment.

We’ve made progress – but in what kinds of dreadful directions?

By “progress,” I meant in terms of adaptability, the crucial trait for evolution. Of course,…[Read more]

Reg,

On the right, Judeo-Christian values are out and Christian nationalism is in.

From the story:

This week, for example, Washington Post columnist Jason Willick looked at how Tucker Carlson has been pointedly criticizing the Hebrew Bible. He’s “shocked by the violence in it, and shocked by the revenge in it, the genocide in it” and empha…

Reg,

Chimps are not frozen in evolutionary time, stuck at a checkpoint on the way to being human. Modern chimps have been evolving for the exact same 6–8 million years since our lineages split from a shared common ancestor. They are not some sort of “old” humans or “failed humans”. They are modern chimpanzees and specialists in their own ecolo…

Jake,

Our Multipolar world evidently has been playing out among chimps for quite some time.

Before the EU supported the PA, Baron Von Butcher, Creto, Dr. Strangmind, and Dutchess were side-by-side in joint intrigues with Ali Assa Seen, Wicked Wang Fu, and Dragon Woman, in battle with chimps on the side of…[Read more]

Jake,

You don’t have to believe that humans are a special Divine Creation to see that the apes didn’t write a book or make a documentary on Jane Goodall instead of vice-versa.

Only a small difference in DNA, but what a difference a DNA makes.
