Civil War Doomsday Clock

[Speaker to Animals]

You see people acting like primates because we are in the primitive era of an new age in human history.

It's also possible that people act like primate because we literally are primates. Just saying..


edit:

Also note the liberal narrative inherent in that. History is some story of deterministic progression towards utopia. We are in the primitive age and we need to "transcend" our nature to achieve a technological utopia. The idea that there exists a direction to history or some utopian endpoint to history in this fallen universe is silly and not supported by reason or evidence.

I see way more simpler than that.

I'd compare to a 8th Century carpenter given a lathe and metal press. He'll figure out what to do with it eventually.

I dunno about 8th century, but at some point someone would figure out how to toss it into a trebuchet and launch it into some city walls, or melt it down to make a cannon or some other weapon.

All while looking at the decaying Roman aquaducts, etc, and wondering what amazing people could have possibly created all that.

Why not give them an iPhone or tablet, fully charged of course. They'll figure out what to do with it "eventually"... like say in 1100+ years. Presuming they didn't get burned as a witch or something in the intervening years.

Uh oh...

So the Pittsburgh mass murder is just not worth discussing on MHF? Someone who's basically a clone of Nukedog kills 11 Jews for being Jews in a major US city and no one has anything to say? Are you embarrassed, approving, appalled, what? Not as fun as bizarre conspiracy theories about a pathetic schizophrenic and his pipe bombs that hurt no one?

[Speaker to Animals]

Nukedog is pro-Trump and the shooter was an anti-Trumper. More in common with SF..

I see, all that matters is a racist murderer's politics? All that means is ND is a hypocrite for liking Trump even though he surrounds himself with Jews.

What’s there to say? No, really, what can I possibly add to the conversation? My friend is dying of cancer, is that any less tragic; there’s no dicussion to be had.

Well, I don't know how much farther down the road to lunacy an anti-Trumper like SF has to descend before he starts shooting synagogues. It seems to me that it's only a small step between hating Trump and hating the things Trump cares about (Jews and Israel).

If your friend was dying of cancer because the corporation he worked for poisoned him, there'd be plenty to say. There's a deliberate poisoning of minds going on in this country.
