  • Everything we currently eat or are able to eat was established by the deaths of millions of people who helped us to figure out what not to eat. And we’re dumb animals, so often it would take several deaths or unfortunate circumstances before we figured out what was bad for us.

    It’s kind of like OSHA rules and regulations … it’s all written in blood and death.


  • It’s not just the fact that a president makes these stupid proclamations …

    It’s that the whole American government, or at least a good portion of it, just goes along with it and allows it all to happen and normalize it all. Their leader is there because there is an entire community of professionals, academics, supporters, wealthy leaders, officials, bureaucrats and politicians all want him to be there. Trump isn’t some god king that magically is able to do or say all this … he’s there because enough people who are in control want him there.

    The orange menace is just the very tip of just how stupid America and American politics have become









  • I think this is our great filter … the filter that won’t allow us to explore the universe beyond our planet. We’ll send up probes and robots into space but we’ll be too busy fighting the handful of men down here who want to try to rule the planet. And those handful of men will keep our world as miserable as possible in order to keep them wealthy and as powerful as possible. Once that group of men dies off, another group of men will take their place endlessly. And it will be that perpetual small group of men that will keep us confined to our current state of evolution and keep us all down on this planet.

    As Carl Sagan put it in ‘A Pale Blue Dot’ …

    “The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.”
