4 Funny Feelings About 2020 - POLITICO

Druvius comments on Oct 15, 2020:

"The map is not the territory." I wasn't shocked by 2016, I saw Trump's appeal and the problems in Clinton's campaign. This time Biden has avoided many of Clinton's flaws, but the GOP's strategy of voter suppression is much broader than in 2016. I think a blue wave victory is the most likely election night result, but I won't be shocked if it gets nullified somehow. Crazy times.

Gee, what a surprise.

I'd love for there to be evidence of extraterrestrial visitors or ancient advanced technology. I'd been interested in the topic since High School. Alas I soon learned that people like Von Daaniken simply, well, lied, to make their case. I've yet to see anything that requires extraterrestrial influence to explain, and there's not been a shred of evidence for ancient technology.

Does anybody else believe that Trump never had Covid 19?

Druvius comments on Oct 9, 2020:

"The only way three people can keep a secret is if two of them are dead." Pathological lying is Trump's is Trump's modus operandi. A complicated hoax involving dozens of people? He doesn't possess the management skills to organize something like that. And how would faking getting sick help him anyhow?

Why is the government and news media not doing a better job of managing this virus?

Druvius comments on Oct 1, 2020:

Because Trump doesn't live in the real world, and his followers have joined him. Every other country has a national response, national test and trace, etc. Trump has just left it to the states, quite likely the worst abrogation of Federal responsibility in US history, and we are paying a terrible cost because if it.

Druvius comments on Sep 26, 2020:

Fascinating because cats don't pass the mirror test, they don't possess "theory of mind." So they aren't consciously imitating humans. If true means their mirror neurons come into play with humans, which was already pretty clear I guess. I've heard it stated that cats don't think they're people, they think we are big cats. A lot of fascinating work has been done on animal cognition in recent decades, animal consciousness is far more complex than was once thought. (Pic just for fun, because ... cats!)

Health care costs are collectivized whether we like it or not, so why not go with the win win practice of universal health care? Sadly we let big corporations turn health care into a product in America, and now we have the developed world's least effective and most expensive health care system. It's nightmarish in a way.

It spreads throughout the body, causing all sorts of effects we are just learning about. Heart damage appears to be very common just for starters. Any sane person and nation will do everything they can to get on top of Covid-19.

How Much It Sucked to Be a Medieval Serf - YouTube

As a student of history, this is kind of a caricature. Serfdom was terrible, but society depended on their labor so there were some constraints. Never heard they couldn't own personal property either, they just couldn't own land. I couldn't watch it all, did they mention that serfs were exempt from both taxation and the draft? Anyhow, not defending serfdom, but pretty sure most historians would cringe at this.

Druvius comments on Aug 24, 2020:

Fine tuning argument, been around for decades. A variation on the Watchmaker argument. Basically it's circular reasoning based on a false premise, IE there's something special about life. If the Universe was different, or conditions on Earth were different, we wouldn't be here. So? The fact that we are here means that conditions were amenable to our evolution and existence, that in no way implies that somehow these conditions were created. At this point there is every indication that we evolved naturally, no invisible superfriend required.

The big famous one that was predicted in China in retrospect was an earthquake "that wanted to be predicted." IE yes, it gave all sorts of clear signs in the days before that something was brewing. No other quake has ever signaled such since. And then there's the fact that earthquakes themselves are still very poorly understood. Interesting preliminary study, but that's all it is.
