The problem in the world is relatively simple.

t1nick comments on Jun 8, 2019:

This is similar to many of my previous posts. Only my point was with regards to human overpopulation. I contend that overpopulation in the human species occurs (occurred) when society no longer can exert checks and balances on deleterious or abberant behavior. In the case of the human species this occurs at about the upper level of the tribe size of population. Accepting this premise that means that overpopulation actually occurred between 10,000 and 7,000 years ago. Roughly coincident with the rise and shift to agriculture Because culture and society are an evolutionarily integral and necessary part of human development, anything that that is deleterious to the "fitness" of the well-being of the cohesion renders that society evolutionarily "unfit" (eg. religion). Once abberant behaviors become cemented and are left unchecked, the greater that society moves toward evolutionary unfitness. Ultimately leading to extinction. For humans this begins above the tribal level size. So we have been overpopulated for quite a long while.

I am amazed every time I read the history around the Bible.

I concur that most Christians have no idea about the history of their own religion. Below I provided a URL for a Christian timeline of events up to and ending with the Convention of Nicea.

Now, regarding Trump's speech at Normandy.

t1nick comments on Jun 8, 2019:

Your observations are right on. Throughout his tenure as president anytime Trump had to deliver a pre-scripted speech and not speak extemporaneously, he is flat, emotionless, and anything but inspiring. Granted that this particular occasion called for a serious presentation, there is a difference between being serious, and being detached, uninterested, and disingenuous. You can always tell when Trump doesn't believe in something and has been forced to deliver due to responsibility of the office (eg. His denouncement of white supremicists). Combine this with his low reading skills (suggestions from insiders that he might be dyslexic), reading off a prompter might increase his discomfort. Regardless, everything about Trump is intent. He is a unique animal in that a majority of his indiscretions seem to involve infractions in which "intent" must be demonstrated to indict or convict (a difficult bar to reach). He believes and operates under the aegis of "letter of the law", and not the "spirit of the law". He tends to push his actions into that grey area between "letter of the law" and outright criminality.

t1nick comments on Jun 7, 2019:

This is the correct time and the correct location for a culture known as the Solutrean tradition, which is thought to be the progenitors of the Clovis tradition in the United States. A late glacial resurgence connected southern France with an ice sheet which covered all of Northern Europe, Iceland, Greenland and Canada. it is believed that the Solutreans people were being starved out due to the extinction of large game. They followed the ice sheet edge and arrived in the North America about the same time as the Clovis tradition occurs here. The largest cluster of Clovis points occurs along the NE coast of the US. the technology is identical to the Solutreans technology. This is one of at least three migrations of peoples to North America post-15,000 BCE. DNA segments from the Ojibway tribes share similarities with that from Southern France, Northern Spain. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=clovis+man

I called individual student out on their behavior, but did not use racial epithets against them. This teacher is not an educator, she is a body taking up space and collecting a paycheck.

t1nick comments on May 31, 2019:

One arguement for Impeachment that has been put forth is as follows. First, you are right about the Senate not voting in favor of the Articles of Impeachment. But the action of Impeachment legitimizes the charges and the investigations. By bringing forth the evidence that will undoubtedly come out in the proceedings, would serve to impress upon people how corrupt he is, as well as how unfit he is to hold the office. The hypothesis being that the exposure will embarrass and dissuade his marginal followers to abandon him. His core is too incorrigible to care about his criminal activity. I don't know if I buy this reasoning, but its worth mulling over for a little while.

In a few generations the caucasion race will be extinct.

t1nick comments on May 26, 2019:

One cannot make that assumption. Reduced natality does not presuppose extinction. Any unforeseen circustances could change this pattern, or impact other populations adversely giving caucasians impetus to increase births. If the caucasian race shpuld go extinct, then it obviously had become evolutionarily and/or cilturally unfit and should go extinct. The genes won't disappear altogether. First there is no such thing as genetic race in humans. In the human species, race differences are purely cultural. The true definition for race entails geographical isolation from rhe parent gene pool, then independent evolution. It also involves the evolutionary changes becoming distinct enough that the new population would not likely interbreed with the original population ( biologicsl reasons, not conscious choice reasons). Every human contains a little bit of every other "race" existing on the planet in their genome. Human migration patterns made dure of this.

The majority of employment increases have come in the low paying, poorly paying service industry sectors. Quality, well paying jobs have been much slower in their improvement and expansion. The separation between the haves and have nots is a wider gulf than has ever existed in our countries history ( this is where the mindless minions come in, they're the ones suffering the most by Trumps policies - a form of self sabatage and denial). A statistic that I just recently read - the top 5% have more than the lower 70% combined.
