Robecology comments on Jun 7, 2019:

I don't want to call it a "dark age"... I'm feeling that these last pushes toward conservatism, toward resisting women's equality, towards racism is just that...last pushes from the "cornered rats" who feel desperate that their way of life is no longer "the ideal" What's ideal? -I'm afraid to use the term; but in a word...."Globalism". That would be... -all of us speaking one language. -no borders -one economy -stabilized growth...in fact....no growth, the new word will be sustainability. -A population that's reached ZPG. -Little or no "religion". Charity still working - but not because an imaginary power demands it. -Most, if not all "diseases" cured. Anti-aging chemicals and genetic procedures allow us to stay fit and healthy decades longer. -No burning of fuels for energy. Not coal, not fossil fuels. Not hydrogen, not wood, not cow chips. -No need for "combustion"...except for entertainment. -We would even phase out nuclear. Geothermal's already in place in Iceland, for example; so I'm not talking about putting wind-generators or tidal-flow gens there unless they see that the transition would save them from tapping in to the potentially unstable source of geothermal in to the stable sources of wind and tide flow. When will we reach it? I'm guessing in anywhere from a few decades to 100+ years. We are getting close.

Good morning and happy Friday! Today's question: Do you think aliens are real?

Robecology comments on Jun 7, 2019:

I've talked about this many times. In a few words; Yes they're real; but no; we'll not likely talk to them, let alone meet them, any time soon. I'm sure that there's hundreds of millions, if not billions of habitable planets, a few million of which have evolved life, a few thousand of which have evolved advanced civilization, a few hundred of which...even in our galaxy, have evolved radio communication and interplanetary travel Now, Let's look at the odds of us even talking with them. Assume we've spent 100 years sending out Radio and TV signals. So right now, a civilization of aliens, say, up to 100 Light years (LY) away from us just got the signal and translated it to something they comprehend. Within 100 LY of us is 500 stars. Let's apply the 1 in 10 rule. Of the 500 1 in 10 have habitable planets. That's 50 of the 50, 1 in 10 are likely to have developed advanced life forms; that's 5. Of the 5, 1 in 10 have developed radio communications; that's now down to 0.5 star systems; within 100 LY...that are likely to have picked up an old radio or TV broadcast, and translated it. Do you see where I'm going with this? Watch; then comment... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRoj3jK37Vc

Ignorance is a Choice

Robecology comments on Jun 7, 2019:

I'm not so sure. I think it's a tradition, or pattern of behavior that, right now, too many humans are "locked in" to. Religion isn't really a choice. It's an indoctrination.

Wishing you never had an injury is like praying to a god. There's just no point in 'wishing" it wasn't so... Try as best you can never to mention 'you wish you never had TBI. Say instead...I'm making progress - a little each day - on conquering TBI. You're talking to us. That's progress. Move forward. Don't wish it weren't so. It just hurts you to do so.

Robecology comments on Jun 6, 2019:

I'm sorry; but I must disagree. If the Congress starts closing in on DJT he'll just resign. He'll hand the reigns over to Pence; like Nixon did to Ford. That will throw us from the frying pan into the fire; because Pence will then pardon DJT. Pence is Trump's worshiper. His "do-boy". He'll simply pardon DJT....which would then make him eligible for retirement benefits....which would then allow him to go do his leisure thing whie we pay for it.... AND Pence would do his bidding... .AND the cabinet wouldn't change a thing. No. No impeachment. DJT wants that push so he can blame the congressmen and women on him quitting. Then if Pence pardons him....he would be eligible to run again in 2020 and perhaps even 2024. No!! Stop pushing impeachment! Play a little chess. Make a few mental moves ahead of him. That would be disaster for us. The only solution is to keep a tight rein on him...then vote him thoroughly and convincingly out in 2020. Beware. The Trump voter will be out in droves. They are blind to his misgivings. They will flood the polling booths in 2020. This is our best hope - to get out and vote him out in 2020.

Then all that worshiping, paying tithes, time and money to support the #religulous will have been a waste. ....and don't give me that "god is watching" thing. Hitler conscientiously worked to kill millions. Do you think because he said "I believe" and "forgive me father" that he got in to heaven and the Jews he exterminated didn't? Oh...and in the words of Penn Jillette; What's to keep an atheist from killing, robbing, and murdering? Nothing. That's why an Atheist is more morally upright than a #religulous person; We do good because it feels good. It feels right.

The "waiting" game. Someone's playing it more than the other. "Waiting" to see if loneliness prompts initiating contact. It could be said that it's a wise game...or just a game...or a game for "players"....but it can be frustrating. Who's going to be more "upfront"? More "honest" ? More "forthright"? Who's going to look at being more "upfront" as too aggressive, too assertive, too anxious....and who's going to look at being "upfront" aa having healthy, strong feelings?

OK...ad nauseum...(I'm a Bernie fan...can you tell?). Someone please tell Kyle that he needs to get to the point faster....and without so much "I told you so" rambling...

3 June 2019 - Diet Diary - How do we accumulate SO MUCH JUNK?

Robecology comments on Jun 4, 2019:

Yes! I'm gathering stuff to take to my Animal shelter good-will store. They're the best of all the locals...loaded with little treasures...very reasonable...negotiable...thanks for the inspiration! Not a good diet day....I gave in and had a "muscle brownie" before bedtime..gained a little....

Each of them is very confident to end up in heaven and all the others in hell.

I feel sadness for them - they're just locked in to a delusion created in our past.

Spot the differences? LOL! Gotta feel sorry for her Majesty....

Robecology comments on Jun 4, 2019:

Obama is gracious like that; she's probably on a pedestal next to him. Trump likes to appear taller - the Queen didn't care about pedestals in that image. Notice in pictures with Kim Jung Un (seated) that Kim's seat was much higher. (see link) https://youtu.be/K27CKdkGUZ4

Tiny and lovely is good; voluptuous, fit and lovely is better.

I remember 70s gas rationing and having to wait in line to get it.😠

Robecology comments on Jun 3, 2019:

Did you see the price on that pump? $0.45.9? Wow! Personally; as an ecologist, I'm real happy about E.V.'s (I'm on my second Tesla) and not having to "pump gas" anymore....

Why do you use agnostic.com?

Robecology comments on Jun 3, 2019:

I originally signed up here because I was "looking for a woman to come in to my life". But at 73....I've pretty much 'given up" that search for a "lover". I had recently moved farther away from a long distant (60 miles/1 hour) relationship to double that distance - It's been 13 years of off again-on again-off again - where we can't 'agree to disagree". The move helped me "distance" myself from her.... I gave up on "match" and POF....a few dead ends left me depressed. A.com gave me some optimism. But then I learned that A.com is much more like FB; much more of just a social media site...for talking about different things....learning and sharing....which I've come to love even more than the "persuit" of a lady to love! ...and while that's been going on I'm learning to love myself better. I definitely feel some mental health improvement thanks to good people on this site.

This says it all

Robecology comments on Jun 3, 2019:

Cute, but naive. People don't "hate for no reason". There's love, hate and indifference. You only "hate" someone you've come to know who has then done something to betray you, disrupt your life, been dishonest to you. Or you've decided that they have habits or behaviors that are intolerant to you, that they won't adjust, or change. So you usually - almost always - hate a former loved one. We all are "indifferent" to strangers... We "hate" politicians only because they've obviously made promises...then lied.

The question is, "Does the DNC really want to beat Trump?" [salon.com]

Robecology comments on Jun 3, 2019:

In a word...yes. Of course they want to beat him. The question that we failed on in 2016 is...who is the most electable? IMO...the most electable will be the one who wins the most primaries. He or she will win the debates. They will lay out their platform the best, the most logical, the easiest to understand. We can't let our evaluation of the populace get fooled again. OK...at the request of some readers here...I'm taking a risk, here...but if you email me I'll give you my PO Address; then if you send me a SASE I'll send you a button. I got nearly a dozen left. I think the SASE will need two stamps. Better yet; order a dozen; C'mon...let's do this! We can't afford 4 more years..let alone 1.8 more years. I recommend you buy and wear these buttons. I'm on my 3rd dozen. Wear 'em and share 'em. I'm not related in any way to them...so this isn't a scam or a profit motive; My only 'profit" is the extreme joy of a resounding defeat in 2020.

Nice. I didn't get how it's funded?

China is an existential threat to the free world.

Robecology comments on Jun 3, 2019:

The Chinese are an enigma. Look around your home. Everything we own is "made in China". They figured out to make everything from Rolex watches to Teslas to nails, screws, forks and spoons faster, better, and cheaper there. Obviously they're suppressive, and harsh, if not downright cruel to their populace... Yet 1/3 of them have solar hot water heaters on their roofs....and a growing percentage are getting power from alternative energy -years ahead of us. A few years ago they were opening a coal powered plant every week. Now they're closing down that many. We have to figure out a way to make our labor force as devoted and brilliant as they are without the hostilities of an oppressive government. If we don't - we'll slide more in to 3rd world nation status; ignorant and poor; while they continue to grow and dominate in the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_energy_in_China

Robecology comments on Jun 3, 2019:

There is hard data that shows that a centrist Democrat would be a losing candidate Duh...ys think? Of course the DNC wants to win. They just let greed and money get in the way of logic and wisdom. This will be answered in the upcoming debates. I'm pulling for Bernie to come out of this smelling like a rose.
