Americapox: The Missing Plague
Actually, when it comes to the evolution of language, being wrong en masse does tend to make you right - eventually.
Meh, just because lots of people are wrong doesn't make them right.
Epigenetics: Why Inheritance Is Weirder Than We Thought
Exactly! the implications are huge in the understanding of evolution and even society, since say, the selfish gene in humans/red hair/disease/etc can be triggered or turned off, or say that there is an extra feedback mechanism in males´offspring! It could explain the enormously fast adaptability in the evolution of species and the programmed role of males in society and their EXPERIENCES/fears/emotions! Sperm production (gametogenesis) is constant in males, and nature is no dummy; one could hypothesize nature finds feedback mechanisms into genetics to compete and gain advantage with other males, even for future generations (?). This should have huge implications if the proper research is continued and these very interesting hypotheses and other´s are seriously questioned.
Start Getting Used To Saying President Trump
To address your points:
>> Bush: Disaster. Remember, remember the Patriot Act?
GW is not up for re-election and to the best of my knowledge Jeb had nothing to do with writing the Patriot Act. He supports it, but almost all the candidates do. I'm not a huge fan of Jeb, but he actually seems like the smart one in his family. Would still prefer him not to be president.
>> Clinton: Lying, manipulative, currently under Federal investigation by America's FBI department. Really?
@newtboy already addressed the so-called "email-gate" or whatever. As for "lying, manipulative"? You're kidding, right? She's a politician. They're all lying and manipulative. Ultimately, I think Hillary will probably get the democratic nomination and while I'm not a huge fan, she's an order of magnitude better than any of the republicans.
>> Bernie Sanders: Self-purported Socialist. Lovely.
So what? "Socialist" is not a bad word. Many of the highest ranked countries for citizen health and happiness are socialist. America needs to grow the fuck up and get over it's childish clinging to McCarthyism. A bit of socialism would do it the world of good.
>> Ben Carson: I have no particular qualms, by all means intelligent, however, doesn't say anything beyond the bloated party line.
Ben Carson, "intelligent"? Are you fucking kidding me? The guy's borderline insane. How he ever got to be a surgeon baffles me.
This is a guy who thinks that "Joseph built the pyramids to store grain", that doesn't understand fucking magnets, er, gravity and believes evolution was ‘encouraged by’ Satan. He's a fucking moron.
>> That brings us full circle back to Trump... He has a real, tangible plan...
to fuck everything up? Seriously, Trump is an idiot and would be the worst thing to happen to the USA (and by extension the world) in decades. His ignorance is matched only by his ineptitude.
>> As for Obama, and I include him because many seem to think he is great for some reason..
a) I don't think he's great, he's been a huge disappointment and
b) he's irrelevant to this debate
but anyway...
>> His healthcare plan failed(look it up)
I did and it hasn't.
>> America is now over $18 Trillion in debt.
I wonder if the previous president starting two wars has anything to do with that?
>> And he insists on throwing pebbles at ISIS while the EU does all the fighting
Way too big a topic to address here. Post on another video if you want to discuss it further.
>> I am not necessarily saying that Trump is a good person, or would make a good President, but he would me loads better than the other shrimps for candidates...
He's not, he wouldn't and better than an invertebrate with a brain only barely recognisable as such is not a sufficient bar for the presidency.
Who would you have Americans elect?

Red Back Spider - Attenborough: Life in the Undergrowth
The Redback was interesting but that pheromone spider is just god damn evil.
It's no wonder she can laze about all day, as long as moths exist she's basically guaranteed food. On top of that, it looks like bird shit so nothing wants to eat it? That's some serious evolution!
Why Does Hot Food Taste Better Than Cold Food?
Ok, this is bullshit. Great job explaining why cooking is important for human evolution but they're not answering the question, which is stupid to begin with. I had a ham sandwich this morning and it tasted great. So does ice cream. Two things that aren't hot food but both cooked. Being hot and being cooked aren't the same thing. I clearly prefer cold Pizza over uncooked one.
richard dawkins hammers ben carsons belief in creationism
Politicians are so fucking scared of the losing the religiot vote it makes me sick. Look at them, cravenly pandering to turd-for-brain creationists, each candidate terrified that if they don't say they're a Christian 20,000 times between now and election day they haven't got a chance. Such cowardice. Why do such bad ideas as creationism get to figure on the world stage? Why should the leader of one of the most powerful countries in the world even consider the opinions of people who believe in cherubim and seraphim and gods and planets appearing out of the void by magic? Ignorance of the facts is one thing, but anyone who seriously believes that the world is 6000 years old and that every living thing was poofed into existence by a kind of wizard, after being exposed and eductated by the evidence, should be mocked off the podium.
Hypothesis: each and every candidate, educated as they are, fucking knows that evolution is true. So they lie to keep the votes of dumbfuck creationists. The stand at rallies and make speeches about their anti-evolution stance, lying over and over again but they fucking know. And you know what? The people who genuinely believe in creationism should be insulted that their candidates pay mere lip-service to their religious beliefs. The public ends up electing a liar and they either don't know because they're too weak-minded to work out they're being lied to (they are creationists, after all) or they don't care because it's the right lie; it's the lie they want to hear, and yeah, the guy's lying, but there's plenty of cognitive dissonance to go round. It's the lie that you can't get elected without telling.
richard dawkins hammers ben carsons belief in creationism
Clearly it is important in a presidential race to be seen as religious, which is a shame. What I don't really fully understand is why they don't roll with the oft favoured fallacy of argument from middle ground. Religious peeps, you can pretty much have your cake and eat it here... as long as you're willing to drop the whole literal interpretation of Genesis you can just use Evolution as more "evidence" to the glory of God's creation! Surely only a divine being would be able create a universe in which life is its own watchmaker! etc etc. Hey presto, you've just positioned yourself between those two extremes as a voice of moderation and at least America would get a Rep Pres that doesn't seem to be waging a war on rational...well, just on being rational.
Wait. Unless the point is they all want to appear to be more extreme than the other guy in order to pander to the smallest minds in the room.
How to DMT
I thought DMT lasted much longer. I thought I had experienced it before. From his description it sounds exactly like Salvia.
Also, I agree with everything @newtboy says. Most of these videos have their little "educational use only" disclaimer at the beginning, but this guy actually sounds like he is advocating use (and irresponsible use in many of these cases), despite saying exactly the opposite.
Clearly he's not met many people who have had negative experiences; there are many.
Also, I can name many people, alive today, who have absolutely killed it in terms of contemporary success in the modern world, to speak to newts point about evidence of positive, individual evolution. If that's one way you measure success, I personally know multiple people who have made, literally, millions (billions in one case) and were significantly inspired by experiences like these in their lives. Two problems: It's an illegal substance, and it would be taboo to tie public figures names with it. Secondly, there are too many factors to attribute personal success to one event or influence, but there are also very few things in the world that can provide an experience so profound that it does impact your entire life long world view.
PreHistoric Fish Evolves While Attemptig To Improve His Life
Close.
This is what creationists think evolution IS, and that's why they all claim it doesn't work and isn't real.
This is how creationists think evolution actually works...

Ah. I wondered. I saw a "news" report about a type of person called a "super recognizer." They have the ability to recognize celebrities from old photos (and probably have other recognizing abilities, too.)
I'm not a super recognizer, but I am a pretty dang good recognizer. I can't see anyone BUT Jack Black in that screen shot.
I'm losing the ability now. Not that I don't know who the people are -- I just can't remember names now!
Interesting factoid -- as you age, you lose the ability to recall nouns. Verbs don't go away. Fascinating. Says something about the evolution of language ot me....
No, I had to click through More obvious in retrospect.
Volkswagen - Words of the World --- history of the VW
@Trancecoach
nice article.
explains much in regards to the evolution of germanys social market economy,the reasons and motivations.was a rather enjoyable read.
it still does not excuse your own hackery,but it does explain how germanys more marxist socialism was failing and needed to be adapted to a more free market enterprise.that by itself,did not create a free market capitalism though,it changed the dynamic of a marxist socialist economy that was failing to meet the needs of a country that imported way more than it exported.
in the end it was still a social market economy with the market expanded.
we all need to evolve and adapt ,and elements of free market capitalism is well equipped to do just that.so bravo for germany.
