Everyone believes they have witnessed severe injustice. The deluded MAGAs believe their brainwashing from Fox that Trump's re-election was somehow stolen, although that is a lie they choose to believe. The rest saw four years of criminal graft and corruption ending with a staged coup, and then get away with it.

There are numerous reasons for abortion: rape, incest, ectopic pregnancy among them. It's not just that a majority of people favor legal abortion. Those opposed to abortion base their view on their Christian religion. The Bible says nothing about forbidding abortion, and if anything, sanctions it. Abortion is a political gimmick intended to motivate Christians who were otherwise indifferent. Most critically, Christians have absolutely zero credibility nor standing in moral issues. Pro-life? Does the Holocaust ring a bell? (among a myriad of other atrocities).

racocn8 comments on May 21, 2022:

Learning what we know about the universe is humbling. That universe is far removed from our day-to-day existence, so love, hope and sadness have no physical meaning, but become the basis for our behavior. We live in a culturally religious society, so our thinking and behaviors have become shaped by languages that are deeply corrupted by mythical nonsense. We can hardly stop thinking in religious terms. When one says that nothing in the universe carries significance, that is only the partial understanding. The very notion of significance implies the religious belief that a god might somehow imbue our existence with meaning. Why would a god's existence matter to us, or provide special relevance? It wouldn't nor shouldn't. (We have a lot of work to do).

Shouldn't mathematicians have the same attitude as (most?) scientific disciplines wherein all findings are tentative and subject to improvement in some manner? One shouldn't expect to have everything explained because whatever is known leads to more questions. That mathematical proofs have been developed should be exalted as one of the few bastions of (near?) certainty. How about fuzzy logic, programmed evolution of analytics, and programming quantum computers? A program can work most of the time, but for complex programs, bugs are almost inevitable. We have our work cut out for us.

And if you insist on saying you saw one, well, it's a big desert and no one will ever find what's left... And the Pentagon is so intent on protecting the country that Lt. Gen. Charles Flynn, the seditionist who withheld National Guard for four hours on Jan 6 was simply transferred to another job. And seeing how the Christian Nationalists have a chokehold on the country, admitting aliens are visiting might not be looked on favorably. We all know that aliens are demonic spirits Satan has sent to Earth to foster LGBTQ with their Jewish space lasers... Opinions are like assholes, and that phony hearing was as bad as seeing how utterly ignorant people will express their stupidity anyway.

For someone who exhorts others to the wonders of the Universe, deGrasse Tyson is frighteningly incurious about this topic, or pathologically disingenuous. Neither is a good look for a scientist, unless he is bowing to the decades-long policy of intimidation initiated by Project Blue Book. And speaking of being pathologically disingenuous (and hopelessly ignorant of the topic), the Pentagon spokesmen displayed the dishonesty and obfuscation we know all too well. Yes, Why is the military so absolutely wacky about disparaging this topic? Why the asinine handsprings to reject extra-terrestrial origin. What we really need is an investigation into who the parties are (relying on a religious world-view) that classify UAPs as demonic, and how they have obstructed national security interests as a result. One Pentagon spokesperson said that none of our military had ever fired on these craft. Why the hell not? The military is tasked with protecting itself, and these vehicles violate norms (of contact, proximity and markings) all over the place. The answer is, yes, they have been fired on with negative consequences, and thus the covert policy is not to fire on them.

racocn8 comments on May 17, 2022:

"...litmus test for true moral behavior: so-called third-party punishment: When I witness someone violating a moral norm, I feel obligated to punish the evil-doer,..." So is it the sense of morality that is hijacked and reprogrammed by evil-doers to create immoral soldiers, soldiers who will harm or kill others to satisfy their *new morality*? If we see acts of cruelty perpetrated by soldiers (for Christ, as example), and feel revulsion, who is to say which morality is the true morality? If the soldiers effectively intimidate us against punishing the evil-doer, does that mean that fear and intimidation invalidates our morality?

I am desensitized (somewhat) and resigned. I am not afraid of being a victim of a mass-shooting because the odds are against it. That's the best excuse I've got. My understanding is the US has about one multiple/mass murder per day, and two police murders per day. My estimate is the mass shooting rate has doubled in the last 5 years. But it may not be that bad. Shootings spiked and peaked during Trump's term, but sources seem to use different definitions. One source (Statista) lists 10 incidents in 2019 while CBS lists 417. Rand reports on this variation, but it's safe to bet that a higher number will be more accurate. https://www.statista.com/statistics/811487/number-of-mass-shootings-in-the-us/ https://everytownresearch.org/maps/mass-shootings-in-america/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_shootings_in_the_United_States https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mass-shootings-2019-more-than-days-365/

What we need is are ways to profoundly change these people's minds and behavior. We have to do it forcibly because they are not about to volunteer.
