Meanwhile, here's something that could have gone in the climate change thread, but the natives are restless so I think it safer here. https://www.yout...
Me too. A case where psychology recapitulates biology. To your wiki link. Alas my organic chemistry encompasses the idea that amino acids have an an a...
No. Even, perhaps especially, famous extroverts hide behind dark sunglasses and have people to talk to other people's people for them when regrettably...
Under either regime. Because neither are honest. But the forces of nature require depopulation and the tightening of belts around stomachs and necks. ...
When one has a sense of self, of individuality, that very identification keeps one apart. And as we all have that sense, we have the need to be apart,...
That is true, but are you suggesting that history teaches that tyrants kings emperors dictators and oppressive regimes in general never prevail for a ...
Here is the truth. Automation has destroyed the power base of the working class. Mass production and mass consumption is no longer necessary to produc...
In the long run, one dies. What is rational about self interest? It is like betting on a legless horse that cannot even finish, never mind win. Self i...
Climate scientists have been saying for many many years in response to questions as to whether this or that weather event is caused by climate change,...

And there is no doubt about it. The sea is warmer, so more moisture evaporates. There is no doubt. That doesn't mean that every disaster is a record b...
You are not justified in such a blanket criticism of a rather fulsome explanation of why the area is prone to such floods and a further explanation of...
There's no rule that says you get a choice, either. In fact you don't get a choice; you live in an anarchy and people set up governments and mafias ev...
I would say that anarchy is the state of no rules, and it is the universal social condition. There are not, nor can there be, any rules that forbid th...
Nor is my first premise. I think my argument is valid and sound, and expresses the principle of explosion. Similar nonsense results when you divide by...
Valid, but unsound. 1. is a conditional contradiction. 2. fulfils the condition' And from a contradiction, anything and everything follows. This is th...
This is a very feeble ad hominem, even by your low standards. Some scientists do more than others. They need to communicate with the world and with go...
They're rather jolly. Such extravagant displays can only evolve in an environment of plenty where the quality of the genes is all important and assist...
Paul Beckwith discusses the latest World Meteorological Organization Report on the atmosphere CO2 etc. levels. I'm sure politicians and economists are...
And "46chromosomes" is not arbitrary? Suppose in fact there doesn't have to be an answer. Suppose we have to make decisions about the rights and wrong...
"The spirit of the law" is not a religious term. But I don't think it helps to have the conversation in purely physical terms either, and that is my p...
Another careful picking apart of a bullshitter who ought to know a lot better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kGiCUiOMyQ And a new magic German feel...
When I win the presidency, I'm going to nationalise McDonalds and put Trump in charge of it. In the meantime, I am calling it for the democrats in a n...
Judge not, that ye be not judged. Condemn the sin, and not the sinner. Yes. This is the hard lesson to learn; that it is plainly arguable where the mo...
Aldington is sadly obscure and neglected these days. He wrote an excellent biography of D.H. Lawrence "Portrait of a Genius, But...". Anyway, as the p...
Let the nihilistic locomotive Provide the realistic motive. But as the Great War gave us Death of a Hero, So Roald perhaps Could claim his lapse Of pr...
Ok, this is slightly off-topic, and the guy does a great imitation of the mad staring eyed mathematician. But it relates to any number of waffles thre...
Shoulda gone in a sieve. As that poem and Nils Loc attest, Dahl was a strict moralist and educator, whose every work had aspirations to social message...
Now this is a backroad so scenic and unspoilt, you may want to stop for a picnic. Or, if you need to be somewhere urgently, probably avoid the area al...
Procrastination is the result of internal conflict, and hence of a divided mind. If I am single minded, there can be no conflict; I am doing what I am...
There is an asymmetry, I think. The answer "No." is a performative contradiction, while the answer "Yes." is not. It is a matter of interpretation, bu...
