Humans are born as socially bootable apes

This level of infant care would have required a bit of social interaction, since it would have been difficult for new mothers to be the only one caring for and protecting a newborn from large predators and other dangers.

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

Enco,

Aint read about Gregor and his pissy peas for as long as i care to rememmber these. My impression though is of a monk who learned through observation the rules of pea reproduction and their traits. Dominant and recessive. Fixed rules. Determinism. Utilized it to produce artificial selection.

If survival of the fittest is the popular 1…[Read more]

The article concerning Lamarck makes sense. Darwin and Lamarck are kissing cousins. I suspect some of the most shocking adaptations are a result of the latter.

If environmental conditions interact with the RNA and DNA to produce adaptations (as was the case with C. elegans worm,) then this is actually Mendelian Genetics, not Lamarckianism.…[Read more]

Cheers Reg!

…and sharks have been around 50 million years longer than trees…….

Here is one of the oldest organisms on earth that i recently ‘discovered’ and its origins and evolution would make good reading.

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

Jake:

The videos you previously posted of Eniat Wilf showed she knows her stuff. I’ll have to watch more.

I forgot about Pat Condell. I haven’t seen videos from him since the beginning of The Age of MAGA. I was surprised to learn he’s still around. He seems able to hold his own but hasn’t produced content on a regular basis for a while. His…[Read more]

World of Woo: Wellness grifter kills young woman in his Batshit lifestyle center.

Sad and disgusting. The very name “Bereshit Lifestyle Center” should have been a tip-off. Is it located in the woods?

If so, it could answer two questions, one question with another:

One, Is pseudoscience harmful?

And the answer, Two, Is Bereshit in the…[Read more]

Enco there are a great many capable advocates worthy of Israel’s hypothetical Department of Counter Propaganda.

Einat Wilf springs to mind. Started a lefty. Thought it was about land and eager to make a deal with Palestinians for two states. Educated at Harvard and i think Cambridge and a true academic. Has researched the bejesus out of Unwra and…[Read more]

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 !!

Jake:

You have picked some good advocates for Israel. Oran Cahanovitc of TravellingIsrael.com is very thought-provoking and knows his history well. Gad Saad is Gad Damn Good on Israel and other subjects as well.

Israeli Doctors and Scientists would be great to point out scientific discoveries and developments from Israel, as well as an…[Read more]

Enco,

Nothing new. Ideologues who can critique other side but are blind to their own stupidity.

Israel has plenty of rational nonideological defenders. Logical and intelligent folks. But it is a losing battle. Israel needs a department of counter propaganda. That department would be well served to produce content that dismantles the Palestinian…[Read more]

Jake:

All of what you say on the never-ending war of Israel and Jews against Left and Right Antisemites is true.

And it is all the more reason that defenders of Israel need efficacy in running their media outlets and in presenting their message untethered to anything that’s at best tangential and worse nonsensical and irrational.

Ben Shapiro is…[Read more]

Enco,

The Arab/Palestinian project to kill Jews and eradicate Israel has nothing to do with land, territory or so called resistance to the fill in the blank lefty BS. It is religious. It is a supremacist religion that is trying to accomplish what it accuses Israel. It seeks power and is coming for the Jews first. Palestinians, an identity…[Read more]

Jake:

There is much to be said against Anti-Zionism and Antisemitism in media.

There is also much to be said, not against Zionism per se, but against its proponents and their efficacy and their rationality on other positions. These give Israel a bad name. To give a particularly big example:

Yeah Enco,

It is a humdinger. A hootenannie. Even if you knew beforehand how BS the “news” is it is worse than ya thought. Friedman uses same term i have been using in calling it a morality play.

Unless it is refuted should be shown to every child in every school.

Jake:

Urine trouble, Enco?

Me too. Beats the althernative.

My own urine is fine and the only kind I want to see. No alleged Trump Russia, Russia, Russian deluge for me!

And piss on all the Antisemites and all flavors of haters and tyrants too!

Now that this bile is purged from my system, I can flow on to sleep. Goodnight!

Reg:

Thanks for the link to CAMERA! I almost forgot about them.

I first saw their ads and flyers in college years ago. I liked how their ads and flyers would first define a particular Middle Eastern/Israel issue in precise terms, then asked “What Are The Facts?” then proceed to list the facts one-by-one, citing quotes and sources, then often…[Read more]
