About Me
- Name: Infidel753
- Location: Portland, Oregon, United States
Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I am not Jewish, nor gay, nor (obviously) a woman -- you don't need to be a member of a group to object to them being mistreated. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.

I'm not sure I can choose just one!
I can't choose either. They're all so hilariously idiotic. My stomach hurts from laughing so hard.
But I'm going to make a wild guess that they're all TeaPublicans.
Do I win a prize?
#8 has a point, as I too, have never seen a micro organism do ANYthing. Better keep an eye on those micro organisms. Who knows what they're up to?
BTW, the best response I've found to the whole "...why are there still monkeys?" question is this:
If you are descended from your grandparents why do you have cousins?
I have found that nothing else sets people on track to beginning to understand evolution than this simple question. It's my "One Weird Trick".
I know. I've never seen such a collection of idiocy in one place.
Bacopa -- I'm surprised some of them are even intelligent enough to grasp the analogy.
I didn't say my grandparents-cousins analogy always worked, just that it's the only thing that has ever worked, and it is sometimes very effective.
Perfect analogy for a branching tree of life that dispellls a parent-child ladder of progress model of evolution.
Post a Comment
Please be on-topic and read the comments policy. Spam, trolls, and fight-pickers will be deleted. If you don't have a Blogspot account and aren't sure how to comment, please see here. Fair warning -- I reject all comments containing any of the following:
1. Support for transgenderism
2. Negativity about Brexit
3. Support for a military draft or compulsory national service
I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent. And obviously I'm going to delete anything which is just quoting what an "AI" said. I want to hear from you, not from the always-wrong hallucination machine.
No comments advocating violence against any specific identifiable individual, even jokingly.
Please be considerate -- no political or politics-tinged comments on non-political posts, and no performative cynicism. Finally, please remember that this is a personal blog whose main purpose is to encourage contact from people with similar interests and world-views to mine. I really don't much care for arguing and debating; if arguing and debating is what you want, there are plenty of other places on the internet which welcome that.
From now until the finalization of the election results, no comments claiming the Republicans (or Democrats) will or can "steal" the election. It's pointless to engage with such stuff, and it promotes defeatism, which makes people less likely to vote or otherwise be politically active.
