To get back to Lamarck, just because his notion of inherited acquisition is mistaken, does not mean he made no contributions to biological (and indeed other sciences.).

He served in the French Army against the Prussians in the Seven Year War. He was a great botanist who collected many species of flora, as well as fossils and minerals for…[Read more]

Maybe you could change your name to Burt Sugarman, run an all-night entertainment law firm, and offer a Midnight Special:

So Taoiseach Michael Martin is willing to exchange the precision of Israeli visual and navigation technology for the Luck O’ the Irish?

Maybe he can have passengers like this or her Muslim equivalent to guide the plane:

I’m just glad that I have never had the need to fly anywhere, especially in the…[Read more]

Bout sums it up.

It’s ok, lads, I’m sure you can land a plane in a storm navigating via your much-vaunted superior moral compass.

It’s Civilisation or Barbarism….

Religion flies you into buildings. Jew hate won’t allow you to land.

Both child care by the tribe and child care by AI need thorough oversight to insure a good result and really should only be an auxillary and a last resort. It would probably tear my nerves up if I were a parent!

I have troubles with posting too. If I post more than one link or one video, the post won’t go through. I didn’t mean that to rhyme this time.

Oh and as an aside there is documentation apart from microbes of insanely fast evolution. Moths during industrial revolution when trees turned black due to pollution made white moths targets. Selection pressure caused very rapid response and produced black moths. There are others as well.

You’re right. I forgot about the British moths.…[Read more]

In both instances when pondering Lamarck and Darwin change or evolution is dependent on individuals.

The genetic mutations that produce Evolution does originate in individual organisms. But there has to be a large enough population of individuals with the same mutation to have a breeding population. And if the mutation assists survival…[Read more]

I think you misread the giraffe example. There is no disputing that forbears of modern giraffes had shorter necks.…[Read more]

A big difference between Lamarckianism and Darwinianism is that Lamarck’s Theory focuses on agency of individual organisms, whereas Darwinianism focused on developed biological adaptations of whole species.

Another shortcoming of Lamarack is that a giraffe with a longer neck would have to grow added hide and hair, added muscle, added…[Read more]

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]

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]

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

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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:

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.

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!

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]

I just finished the video! Fantastic insights!

I got a big laugh out of the closed captioning when it spelled “Gaza-ology” as “Cosmology.” It was a precise Freudian Slip! Gaza really is the entire Universe to haters of Jews and Israel!

Some organizations become antisemitic ab initio. It is their mission. Others it seeps in as part of the zeitgeist. At best of times Jew hate is latent and liable to spring to life with the least filip. Disparate groups find common ground in Jew hate. Nothing else in common? No worries we…[Read more]

Enco, what CNN did is they stayed true to their business model. Outrage media sells. They stayed true to their ideological pathological lefty obsessions.

Was listening to CNN tonight and they did a story of the persecution of Christians by Israel.

Did they define their terms? Mere disagreement with a religion does not persecution make.

Did they also point out that Haifa, Israel is also the World Headquarters of the Ba’hai World Faith? Or that Israel took in Buddhist “boat people” from…[Read more]

No, he was told to remove the wording. I had told him prior to event that he most likely would be asked to remove or change the wording. It made specific health claims.
