According to Wikipedia: Chimpanzees are the closest living primate to humans genetically. They are more dimorphic in size than humans. They have hiera...

Calling it "neo-Luddite" gives a pejorative tint to reasonable skepticism. I think humanity is at a very dangerous stage. Our science has developed te...

I neglected to link to you in my post above.

When this subject comes up, I often discuss the work of Karan Wynn on the cognitive abilities of very young children. Here's a link to Wynn's publicat...

If you really did it, it was a rotten thing to do.

Where can you get Greek chickens in NYC?

I think that's just a Walker rally.

I did search as you indicated. The first item I came across is the one I quoted in a previous post that contradicts your position. Here's a link to my...

You have not provided any evidence for this claim.

I recommend a book by Martin Gardner - "Science, Good, Bad, and Bogus." It discusses many claims of scientific proof for psychic powers which have bee...

Many non-human animals; whether they're mammals, birds, or something else, are monogamous. That undermines your argument that human monogamy is someho...

That undermines your argument. You wrote: You claim humans have monogamy because we can connect with people spiritually, but then you say other animal...

Many bird species are monogamous, as are some mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and fish. I think that casts doubt on any spiritual interpretation of mon...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Os7-KqSbv1s Ah, the Simpsons. There's a video clip for every subject.

I really liked that book, although Murakami's style takes some getting used to. Everything, no matter how significant or odd, is done deadpan. The who...

Did I mention I read it in 20 minutes? Actually, I think it took me three weeks.

You made a specific claim that the relative lack of black quarterbacks in the NFL is because of racial differences in eyesight. You have stated explic...

If it's derailing, it's because of your unsupported and unlikely claims about the social effects of sexual and racial differences.

I didn't say it was racist. That's not true. You didn't say you thought it was funny. You said it was the reason there are fewer black quarterbacks in...

You've avoided the question - do you have any credible evidence about white people's vision vs. black people's? You're using that as evidence that sel...

Do you have evidence for this? They used to say it was because black players weren't smart enough. If you don't have specific credible evidence you ca...

From the web:

I thought about you when I posted that. I didn't think you'd be offended. You don't seem like you would be a big fan of Franco.

That's a very weak response. A non sequitur. Human babies take much more care than gorillas. I think you have you're own preconceived notions and are ...

Yes, an old joke, but I laugh every time I use it. This won't be the last time you see it. By the way, I have read "War and Peace" the old fashioned w...

I wonder why this just came to mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axByUFSa7N8 Reminds me that Chevy Chase wasn't always a complete waste of TV band...

Do you know that's true? Anyway, only rich guys can have harems. In societies where multiple wives are allowed, most men have only one. Pew says that ...

It only assumes that any society, human or otherwise, will only work if it can take care of it's children. China is having big social problems now bec...

I think the reasons are probably pretty prosaic. Human children require a lot of care and use up a lot of resources. Having more than one spouse would...

So, here's my idea - I'll start a new thread called "Buzz off fuzz nuts" and post it in the Feedback category. People can copy and link insulting or r...

Self-reference - reviewing book reviews. I like it.

When I read how wonderful people say a book is, I want to read it and I want like it too. Sometimes that doesn't work out. Also, I often want to read ...

I've found that the three star reviews often have interesting and valuable things to say about the books and the products too. But you're right, even ...

I really like Ethan Siegal. I've already read the most recent article. I'll go ahead and read the rest. Thanks.

You should take a look in the Shoutbox. @"Hanover" and I were just discussing a right wing commentator who wrote that casting a black woman as the lea...

American right-wing political commentator and author Matt Walsh has criticized casting of a black woman for the lead role in "The Little Mermaid" as s...

I'm posting this here as a gift to @"Hanover". Truck /uploads/resized/files/bl/d67ey43gg5msg2o0.png The headline from Oklahoma City reads: Wrecked sem...

I made comments referencing your arguments, not you personally. So they are not ad hominem arguments. You shouldn't use jargon you don't understand. A...

You clearly don't believe God exists. In this and other posts you look for psychological reasons why people believe as they do. E.g. Pre-science and s...

Thanks. Interesting. The article says something from nothing, but you're right, it's not really. The quantum vacuum is not really nothing. It's not th...

@"Bitter Crank" and I have a name for people like you. We call you "youngsters."

Books I like with good movie or TV versions: "Little Big Man" - Still my favorite Dustin Hoffman movie. The movie does a great job handling the broad ...

My mother grew up in New York City. Sometimes when visiting her father, she took either my brother or me with her. She would often take us to plays. I...

That's true and I don't think you've seen mine and I don't think either of us is going to change.

The Tao Te Ching is the book of the Way, but it's only one way. There are dozens, hundreds, thousands of ways in the world. Is that what you mean by g...

Seems like you are talking about conscience. Why do we need a new word when the old one works well?

I forgot to say - Welcome to the forum.

The probability of dealing a royal straight flush in order in spades from a standard, well-shuffled deck of 52 playing cards is exactly the same as de...

Thanks.
