Jake,

With all that’s going on, I forgot to tell you that in spite of everything going on, I hope Hannukah finds you peaceful.

🕎

And to everyone, Happy Holidays!

Robert,

I think stupid college kids and lefty professors are way less dangerous to democracy or Jews than the Christian national right/MAGA/Neofascists by 1000x . What is “woke” but kids rebelling against their parents. People who at least care about the disenfranchised.

It is possible to walk and chew gum at the same time…away from both of…[Read more]

@theencogitationer – the answers to both your points are “cooperation, sharing, and risky foraging niche”.  The great apes are savage to each other, and especially the pre-human (pre- Ardipithecus ramidus, 4-6 million years ago) great apes, as we surmise from looking at the relative canine sizes of males and females.  A big difference, with big m…[Read more]

Simon,

But you’re talking from the position of your armchair, off the top of your head, with no evidence.

The burden of proof rests with those who assert that there was a Garden of Eden/Golden Age/Noble Savagery.

Robert:

Oh, this real first-rate smooth brain chatter, LOL. The left “awakened the far right’s latent Jew hate”. That’s brilliant.

So where is Jake wrong here? He’s just saying that one hand washes the other, especially when both are embarked on the same ugly goal.

The left isn’t looking for that final solution to the Jesus killers, the rejec…

Simon,

No power, no oppression, no money, no patriarchy? Sounds great. It’s true that people died very young though.

Did you read what I just said? There was NO Garden of Eden, NO Golden Age, NO Noble Savagery.

it’s not just people dying, like snuffing out a candle. It’s about leprosy, polio, and a million savage unrepairable wounds. It’s about the misery of pain, and the proximity to animal violence that pervaded in your ‘sounds great’ description.

I take your point, that living conditions and the lack of advanced medicine would have made…[Read more]

Reg:

Arizona senator who thinks mankind came from monkeys has a say in childhood education.

Senator Farnsworth didn’t say he thought mankind came from monkeys, but rather that the Theory of Evolution said so. He is doing a good impersonation of a monkey by flinging poop, though.

Also, Mitzi Epstein got it wrong when she said that “Evolution…[Read more]
