  1. I'm having a hard time imagining looking for something it would be pointless trying to explain. Is this just a feeling you have?
  2. To me, the recurrent laryngeal nerve is the best evidence that the statement above is accurate, that evolution is at work here. That early fish-type thing had an organ that performed a gill function, and when branches of this species went onto land, evolution repurposed that organ to eventually become the larynx. Unfortunately, as the organ travelled over a long time, the recurrent nerve got wrapped under the aortic arch of the heart. There's no good reason for such a long nerve to connect larynx with brain, but that's how it evolved. And all chordates have this setup, even giraffes, where the recurrent laryngeal nerve is around 15 feet long!
  3. Impossible. Any strategy that doesn't include Iran's ability to close the Strait of Hormuz is an automatic failure, this is Middle East 101. Even I knew they could do this. Yet this administration assumed closure would hurt Iran more than help it, so they went in unprepared for what most of the State Dept and the military were telling them was an inevitability, that if Iran was pushed hard the Strait would close. If there's any strategy to these moves, it's in how to fleece the US for as much money as possible. They're playing the stock market with insider tips. And these hard-partying cabinet members have wracked up quite the total in non-operational expenses. I can't imagine $93B being spent on luxury food and furniture by the military, and if you can, I'd love to hear your justification. Strategic, my ass.
  4. He's extremely vulnerable to blackmail and coercion, being a felon, a cheat, and a sexual predator. It's possible Netanyahu has evidence that hasn't been shared regarding Epstein. What we already know about would be enough to put him in jail if he didn't control the DoJ. It seems clear the Israeli hardliners want to expand into the countries surrounding them, and Netanyahu is getting Trump to do it for him. The economy he cares about is the one where his fortune sits, and that has nothing to do with the average American. He talks a lot about caring for Americans as he cuts their health insurance, cancer research, job security, environmental regulations, citizenship rights, while enriching himself and the already hideously wealthy. He cheated in school, he cheated on his taxes, he cheated in real estate, he cheated with charitable foundations, he cheated contractors who worked for him, he cheated on three wives, he cheated in a presidential election. Cheating is his ONLY strategy.
  5. I asked a question. This seems like an attempt NOT to answer it.
  6. Are you arguing that less rigor on our part would bring more participation? It probably would, but is quantity preferable to quality? I'd hate to see more people who really need to study science using AI to pretend they have a shortcut. It already breaks the heart to see so many working hard to dismiss human intelligence and scientific methodology.
  7. I'm not familiar with the thread, and can't find it with a Search for "Imagine This". edit: I belatedly saw the possessive apostrophe and figured out you mean a member, probably Imagine Everything? Not sure what happened, your history shows the post before this one was made last Saturday, in Today I Learned.
  8. It's clear he's trying to overwhelm the whole system, from the courts to the public, in an attempt to shut us down cognitively. This is Bannon's flood-the-zone-with-shit strategy. Why else would you be trying to actively recruit young men into active military duty for an insane war while also sending ICE after their spouses? Unvarnished cruelty. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-soldier-newlywed-wife-detained-louisiana-military-base/
  9. No, that wouldn't be reasonable. From a quick search around the internet, the sources for astrology all claim opposing things. It seems to be very much like religion, where the practitioners pick and choose what they want to believe. Not a science or even a practical methodology. I'm not interested in opinion or guesswork. This is a science discussion forum, and you don't seem to be able to support the assertions you're making. There's nothing testable here, nothing you can make solid predictions about. It seems worthless. Can you explain the value you see in it?
  10. I asked if you have any evidence to support your ideas. This would be a great time to give us the details of your research into why Neptune and Uranus "don't affect human life significantly". Even if we use astrology as a basis (certainly NOT a science), other practitioners claim that Neptune absolutely affects human life, and is responsible for dreams and intuition. Uranus is associated with rebellion and (drum roll) humanitarianism. Can you assure me your methods aren't just cherry-picking results you want to see?
  11. Is this some kind of AI-generated output where you're being encouraged for such creative thought? If we ask you anything, are you just running it through ChatGPT? You use too many unscientific concepts in your descriptions. Nobody is looking for "proof" since evidence is what the methodology is gathering. "Reality" is another big red flag, since you have no scientific definition of it. You introduce this "Gaiven" as the backbone of your concept but don't bother to explain. Basically, a ToE would need detail you lack. Your framework is so loose you probably think it explains everything, but only to you. The rest of us require evidence. This seems akin to using astrology to explain away difficult problems.
  12. There seems to be a lot of evidence that refutes much of what you wrote. Do you have any evidence to support your speculation?
  13. ahmet has been banned for letting prejudice and ignorance overcome their desire to learn, weak as it was.
  14. Mr MAGA, Who knew Iran would be tougher to beat up than a 13-year old girl?
  15. I'm very glad you were able to abstain from posting about it then. Although I found your "waste of time" joke VERY funny, you rascal.
