Update your approach. Communicate clearly. Provide evidence. Support your stance on the merits. Address criticisms clearly and specifically without hand-waving. Whining like an infant or claiming discrimination / free speech issues on a private internet site like SFN, a site with rules to which you agreed when registering for membership, will get you nowhere other than maybe banned when we get bored of you. Welcome to the NFL. Nobody is forcing you play. Nobody is forcing you to carry the football live on the field. Everyone else here meanwhile will keep playing without you until you figure out how to properly defend your ideas when challenged. Step up or step out, cowboy.

Because humans are weird mostly hairless apes who exist in groups and are wired accordingly

That study, it should be noted, is already 15 years old and the number of atheists/agnosticists (aka atheists who lack the courage of their conviction) have only further grown since then across the general population. Religiosity seems to shrink further every year, seemingly to be replaced by nationalism and various other forms of tribal grouping.

One can only hope

Stunningly filmed thus far.

Thx for the rec

Propaganda and active disinformation campaigns. The bigger the lie, the more people believe it.

Especially if you do so with some fava beans and a nice chianti Tell me, Clarice, have the lambs stopped screaming? /ot

It suggests to me that character and principle are not something genetic nor chiseled in stone, but a plastic malleable part of how we plug into the society around us. We are shaped by what we ingest, both our bodies and our minds

Thanks for the share

No, you’re not No, there isn’t The universe is under no obligation to make sense to our tiny ape minds, and it will continue operating exactly as it does and always has regardless of your personal inability to comprehend those operations accurately. While your username suggests travel across time, your basic stance here suggests time can stop. As it doesn’t, never has, and never will, your basic stance is absurd.

It’s pretty reductionist and lacks nuance, but generally organisms will fit into both categories depending on context and framing. It also sounds vaguely Marxist.

I’ve enjoyed many of his talks through the years, though it has been a minute. “There’s simply no polite way to tell people they’ve dedicated their lives to an illusion.”

First, there more than just male and female. Second, it’s neither good or bad. It just is. Sex differentiation began long before humans existed. Perhaps on some other planet in some other galaxy there are no sexes, but on earth there are. Also, don’t conflate cultural norms and nurture teachings with something inherent in X versus Y chromosomes.

Electronic devices aren’t plastic, nor effected in the same way by chemistry and experience. There’s a whole lotta wrong in your OP, and essentially nothing correct

Also the massive stimulus programs deployed during Covid to ensure recovery more quickly after vaccines were finally developed and released helped quite a bit.

Fun fact: The universe is under no obligation to make sense to uninformed human minds

Am I the only one who sees the OP as a backhanded way to spam and drive clicks to a crap video?

The inflation reduction act is the single largest investment in addressing climate change ever across all of human history… so far… and dividends are beginning already https://www.epi.org/blog/the-inflation-reduction-act-finally-gave-the-u-s-a-real-climate-change-policy/

Your claims don’t even rise to the threshold of being wrong. They’re not even wrong. They’re ridiculous.

I think the last end of the world was scheduled on a Friday so thankfully expected attire was just business casual that day. There are apparently 2300 cities in North America along the path of totality. This animation shows how many short-term rentals have been booked in those cities through Airbnb and Vrbo in the days leading up to tomorrow. Gouge pricing and unscrupulous ignoring of valid contracts are sure to be rampant. Thankfully the lady renting us our space did not (in fact, she left a great 11x16 poster about totality in her state on the table for us as a gift to take home and potentially frame)
