Re: Why are Humans living longer?
The glow of the "good ole days" tends to cloud how we look at our current time. I listened to someone (I really wish I could remember the reference) who was saying that studies show the "nostalgia of the good old days" happens to everyone who ages. Every generation feels like they came from a bette...

Re: Why are Humans living longer?
I think humans are living longer due to advances in medicine and especially dentistry. Plus, we're slowly learning the diets that promote life and which ones promote death. One thing I do want to ask Neil Tyson is, if time travels at different speeds all over the universe, how can we be sure the uni...

Re: Next President ___________ ?
So many people being accepting of Trump shows that America is comfortable with Arch-Villians. It seems to me more a case of willful ignorance. When your best defense for why Trump has 91 criminal indictments is that Biden has weaponized the justice department, you've let ignorance rule your world (...

Re: Why all the screaming about WOKE?
That's still going on? I'm not on Facebook or anything but I thought the woke stuff had slowed down. I haven't been on Facebook since well before "woke" became an insult, and it doesn't seem to have slowed down for me. I see it in videos all over YouTube. Of course, that's likely what the YouTube a...

Re: Why all the screaming about WOKE?
"Woke" has assumed the power to short-circuit whatever message is being conveyed in favor of wondering what the agenda is. I basically assume people using that word (pejoratively) aren't really thinking about the criticism but invoking the power of the buzzword and expecting it to do the heavy lifti...

Re: Katie Britt’s Shtick Abides
Britt reminds me of that 70's movie The Stepford Wives. That had terrible acting too.

Re: The Folly of Adjectives
How could one describe Marjorie Taylor Greene without using emphatic adjectives? The automatic temptation for me is to say she's nuts. I don't think that's too emphatic. But if I'm more thoughtful about it, I have to say that she consistently says and does nutty things, and that I perceive her as n...

Re: Criminalization of Homelessness
Hey Ajax, CNN reporting 400 arrests in 24 hours of pro-Palestinian protesters on college campuses. Why is the deep state is allowing this? It's not the deep state. Apparently, Jesus is in charge. I guess he wanted Obama, too, that rascally messiah. So that means that Obama is controlling Biden, and...

The Folly of Adjectives
Are you happy? I heard that question a lot when I was young (often in the context of religion and whether you were living the life recommended to give you the happiness you might be lacking... but that's a digression). It's not a question I've heard much lately, probably because people recognize th...

Re: The Court Just Sealed Everyone’s Fate, Including Its Own
I still can't decide whether cults make people stupid, or stupid people are attracted to cults. I've known examples of both, listening to right-wingers over time.
