Negative effect on child of mother's age
Quoted info is summarized from the link which includes more: https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/getting-pregnant/in-depth/pregnancy/art-20045756#:~:text=Babies born to older mothers,conditions or fetal chromosomal abnormalities. There's also a higher risk of stillbirth, but it all really depends on the individual mother, her genetic profile, her lifestyle, general health, and quite a bit of luck regarding which egg happens to get fertilized in that specific coitus event.

sadism - neural basis
All you’ve done is restate your claim. I asked you how you’d support or disprove it.

Why are so many Muslim countries poor countries?
I’m super glad that an 8 year old thread from a poster who got banned has been necro’d to discuss this.

Can you be a scientist and still believe in religion?
None of this silliness is on topic anyway. Can one be a scientist and still believe in religion (or god(s))? Of course. Thread over.

What are your thoughts on whistle blowers?
My question was related to whistleblowing. I agree that your responses were not (neither of them). I tend to agree, but your reply was focused on politics. This question is one of ethics and whistleblowing occurs in other places outside of governments, too.

What are your thoughts on whistle blowers?
Unsure why it’s so hard for you. It wasn’t a trick question. Pretty straight forward and reasonable, really.

Language and meaning (Split from Correction hijack (Sharia in the US))
possible, yes, but probably not worth the effort

What are your thoughts on whistle blowers?
You typed a lot of words there, but didn’t actually answer my question.

sadism - neural basis
That’s an interesting opinion. One might even call it a hypothesis. How will you proceed with this idea and use evidence to nullify or support it?
-
What are your thoughts on whistle blowers?
I appreciate the sentiment, but what if there was a valid process in place to address concerns, maybe even an ombudsman, and they circumvented them? What then? Still have your full unwavering support, or do these issues maybe have degrees of nuance that aren’t so well represented with binary thinking?

Add an Introductions Forum
Note also the thread pinned right at the very top of this forum here… the one where you posted this new thread asking for a new forum If I may, not many people really care about introductions. Wouldn’t worry about it. Recommend instead you “introduce yourself” with actions and begin contributing, educating, and adding interesting bits or corrections to topics. Welcome.

Should academic research establishments be political?
I know JCM tends to be more conservative in his views than me. I like that JCM is here popping echo chamber bubbles (MigL, too). I do find the false equivalence about both sides denying science rather laughable though. I also wish the volume could be turned down a bit in this thread. The bold letters make it feel like several of my friends are fighting and I simply don’t know who to jump in and stab with my prison shank when that happens.

The intent of Israel bombing AP/Al Jazeera offices

Money, is it worth it?
Things like food, clean drinking water, shelter, opportunity, security. Sure, but you’re putting money in opposition to love of people and that’s frankly ridiculous since so many people seek money to better care for those they love and hold dear. Lol. Citation needed I understand that you’re quite likely a bot in training.

What is the Purpose of Life ?
Who’s not calm? Yes, this is called an anecdote, not evidence. This was never in question. What IS in question is why you seem to think that’s in any way relevant, or that it’s somehow good enough to convince others that the decades of research on this topic are wrong. What about it? Also, see 2.7: https://www.scienceforums.net/guidelines/ X-posted with Zap who literally said the EXACT same thing 😂

What is the Purpose of Life ?
That’s bound to happen when you make claims that are refuted by evidence, or when you suggest your personal incredulity alone is reason enough to reject said evidence.

FWIW I knew what you meant and LOL’d

What is the Purpose of Life ?
You need to stop thinking of your opinions as facts and look into the tremendous and lasting therapeutic benefits DMT and MDNA are having on depression as documented for years in scientific literature. It has nothing to do with getting high or legality. It has to do with efficacy and positive results.

He represents Texas. I used to live in Texas. He was given power to represent me. He doesn’t represent me. He’s still in power. I’m not the one giving him more credit than he deserves. His voters are.
