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.

Reg and Fellow Unbelievers,

“Groupthink in science isn’t a problem; it’s a myth.”

Science isn’t groupthink, but scientists can and do engage in groupthink and delusion like other humans.

Witness Francis Collins, who, though he headed the Human Genome Project, somehow still embraces the 3000-year-old groupthink called Creationism, not to ment…[Read more]

Reg,

You got much closer to answering the questions, although PopeBeanie’s UNICEF link did also link to a Conversation article detailing the criteria for elimination status.

https://theconversation.com/canada-loses-its-official-measles-free-status-and-the-us-will-follow-soon-as-vaccination-rates-fall-269090

Thank you for clarifying that per…[Read more]

Reg,

Canada beats the USA to become the first country in the Americas to lose its measles elimination status.

This story prompts more questions than answers.

Why would Canada lose it’s elimination status for Measles before the U S.? Would it be because of Canada’s lower population and hence greater per capita infection?

And why would a…[Read more]

Reg,

The Galileo Gambit is like the inverse of the Appeal to Popularity Fallacy. Both are based on the false notion that truth depends on numbers of adherants.

PopeBeanie,

You ask a great question about how to get a better health care system.

It will take many steps and the best I can say in one post is that none of it will be accomplished by anyone who thinks demonic attacks in the bed at night are an actual thing (Carson,) or anyone who thinks skull calipers and cyanide bariatric chambers are…[Read more]

Jake,

Oh, and the influence of both the Lunatic Left and Rancid Right are growing beyond their respective corners! Again, it’s bad times for supporters of The Enlightenment!

Jake,

Yeah, the train will stay on the tracks, but for what itenerary?

First, there’s Tucker Carlson platforming Antisemitic, Racist, Sexist, Homophobic, Totalitarian Nick Fuentes, then Megyn Kelly plus Kevin Roberts platforming Tucker Carlson all on the Right.

Then there’s Zohran Mamdani and Bernie Sanders and The Squad and all their fellow…[Read more]

Reg,

@Enco – It could be that Tucker Carlson made a balls of his testosterone booster with too much testicle tanning?

Before that, I think first the ZYN™ then the ALP™ Nicotine Pouches blocked the blood flow to both of his heads, which would probably explain everything not right about Tucker Carlson, right down to his out-of-nowhere cackling a…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers,

And Tucker Carlson’s Anti-Enlightennent goes deeper than history and politics. Get a load of this:

Hey, Tucker, couldn’t it have been one of the four dogs in the bedroom with you while you were half asleep instead of demons?

And he manages to get both his religion…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers,

Ben Shapiro isn’t the best at arguing for Theism, but he does a good job at showcasing Tucker Carlson and Kevin Roberts as miners of Nick Fuentes’ motherload of bad ideas:

Between all the Alt-Right Groypers and the Leftie Woke Mobs, it’s a bad time for friends of The Enlightenment.
