As for this project of bringing to life an extinct species, even if only a hybrid, it's a technology demonstration/proof of concept, giving us a taste...
Well, all I can say is we are great, in some relative sense and also in being, as Yuval Noah Harari says in his book Sapiens, the planet's most prolif...
How do you know ghosts and the like are fictional? What if you added a sense organ to the existing five and with that detected the presence of what pe...
First off, I don't treat criticism of science as adversarial i.e. pointing out the flaws of science is meant to be constructive rather than the destru...
Why are you dismissing the paranormal world, calling people who report encounters with it as "...suggestible people..."? My take on it is that, as I s...
Right! However, don't you think that just like having infrared receptors in your eyes can help us see in the dark, acquiring a novel receptor could op...
Another good point. Reminds me of the following example conversation that appears in the definition of the expression, "speak for yourself": X: The mo...
I was thinking of how, no matter what the sense organ is, old/novel, the perception from it ultimately ends up in the brain and therein lies the rub -...
Aye! There's this misconception that knowledge is passed down from parents to children, ancestors to descendants in a perfect manner - completely and ...
One word, bodhisattva. I'm told their primary goal is the liberation of all sentient beings. As for "no child left behind" policy, never heard of it t...
Thanks. I learned something today although I vaguely recall reading it somewhere. :up: In my defense, the northward migration of plant species only ev...
Yep, intelligence can be hard to define. I sometimes wonder if there are species, aliens perhaps, who deliberately/intentionally/purposefully gave up ...
I'm not sure how to parse your comment but I know some plant hobbyists, not exactly real gardeners, but I don't recall them complaining about the seas...
Straw man. I never mentioned the level of precision although it will matter to the quality of the prediction climatologists make and thus will also de...
Not funny but a good attempt. There's a thread :point: Is Climatology Science? and the condition that I stipulated - the predicted rise in temperature...
Yes, the person who utters the words, "I don't exist" is lying but the reason why you came to that conclusion is because it's self-refuting or self-co...
I'll only believe in man-induced climate change if the observed global warming (rising temperatures) perfectly matches that predicted based on human-a...
I'm not a climate change denier myself but it doesn't seem to enjoy the same level of certainty like, say, the existence of the sun. Nobody denies the...
I have my doubts. Firstly, is it real? Secondly, have we found its cause, are humans to blame? That said, my point is, let's give the naysayers their ...
CO2 scrubbers Artificial photosynthesis https://youtu.be/wY3oW80muEQ Let's say climate activists haven't been able to make the case for global warming...
You maybe onto something. Did Aldous Huxley take a page out of Indo-Aryan culture. What if, what Huxley predicts already happened, a failed social exp...
This is the paradox of psychology. It takes a human brain to realize that the human brain is an animal brain after all - trainable just like animals. ...
I'm not sure but desensitization/habituation understood in terms of causal ineffectiveness seems relevant. I mean, we're, as per biologists, products ...
