How Physics Erases The Beginning Of The Universe
Robecology comments on Aug 20, 2020:
1000 years ago - the earth was the center of the universe
500 years ago - we realized we and others are orbiting the sun
100 years ago - we assumed other stars might have planets
20 years ago we discovered hundreds of stars with thousands of planets.
Who's to say that our universe is the only...
Robecology replies on Aug 20, 2020:
@yvilletom You support my point. I think it's almost naive to suggest there was a "Beginning to the universe". I foresee that we'll eventually discover that there were multiple "big bangs" and that our universe is by no means the only one.

I beg to differ...and my colleagues back me up as well.
Your point is well taken; both sides get arrogant, impatient, testy, and righteous. But that's why we have freedom of speech....and thank you for giving us all a platform to expound our anger.
But fact-based comments do come more from the liberal/progressive/left than they do from the conservative/righ - and research backs me up on this;

Even the name has a bias to favor the right; we all know the history and idealogical slant of "being Left" in a right handed world. If you're correct you're "right" if you're not in the mainstream you're "left out".
But I digress.

You said "I would argue that there is enough...it’s the excess that there isn’t enough of! " which is contradictory.
I've directed students to do experiments with fruit flies...and with ants...in self-contained communities.
The results were consistent; populations explode; then subside as wastes build and food depletes. Recycling can't keep up; and the populations crash usually due to self-toxicity (we never studied the "diseases" they caught....but it was clear some just starved to death, some died of widespread infections)
https://eprints.lse.ac.uk/22514/1/2308Ramadams.pdf
It's simple really; There's a natural trend to overpopulate due to the generally high loss rate.
But we humans invented health.
We got "preventative"...so we're keeping folks alive - to starve and struggle.
A course correction is happening. The trend towards smaller families and being "child-free" as opposed to "childless" is happening...
...but it appears too slowly to stop more pandemics, more global warming, and perhaps our extinction (along with the extinction of many related species that depend on us for survival). Sad to say...but we agnostics face death better than most.
And I suffer the same quirks in my family; one is horribly pro-Trump, one is (was) frightfully religious. Some we just can't debate with on any level.
But we can't "name call" these folk. They're suffering, they've gone over to "the dark side" and it's pretty much hopeless to change them.

@Gmak Your definition of atheist is correct; your evaluation of me is not.
I'm not 100% sure there's no god....it's just that the evidence so far has been clear that there is no god, no superpower, no creationism.
Thus -if you like categorizations and pigeon-holing - I'm agnostic, but not quite atheist.
I, too think Jesus taught a lot of good things. He allegedly said that it's wise to care for those "who need it most" to "turn the other cheek" and many strategies allegedly said by a Jesus. - so I also follow in Jesus' teachings..I just don't "believe" in any of the hocus-pocus that's been attributed to him.

When I try (as I often do) to share facts with "the right" they say my sources are biased ("Fake news") and that their sources are more fact based.
This is not an easy road we're on.
We have to bring scientific methodology and true fact-research in to the fore to make any headway or we are going to be dominated by the #religulous/conservative right. They've got a grip on the U.S. senate and the U.S. administration...and that grip is frightfully firm.

When I try (as I often do) to share facts with "the right" they say my sources are biased ("Fake news") and that their sources are more fact based.
This is not an easy road we're on.
We have to bring scientific methodology and true fact-research in to the fore to make any headway or we are going to be dominated by the #religulous/conservative right. They've got a grip on the U.S. senate and the U.S. administration...and that grip is frightfully firm.
L feel like I should offer an apology to @admin and members here.

Everyone correct me as I'm probably wrong but doesn't the right usually attack first? Or is it my skewed view because the part of Ky I live has all tRump supporters! Maybe I just throw my hands up at the willful ignorance. Between religion and politics I just want to scream!
Robecology replies on Aug 14, 2020:
Not a fair generalization. I don't think there's any data on who starts the "attacks". Having said that - know it seems like the left/liberal/progressive tends to be passive-contemplative, while the right seems to be aggressive/assertive/arrogant/testy/on-the-attack.

1. Trump and his Republicans will obviously continue to support gerrymandering, cheating, voter ID bias against minorities and poor,
2. The Trump-ster is just like him; that's why they're so fanatic. They are sexist, racist, tax cheats, Big gas guzzler hog-the-left-lane loudmouths - and there's many millions of them.
We just have to
1. not name call them. The worst thing you can do to a handicapped child is to "call them out" or make fun of them. Then their arrogance explodes.
2. Push the vote - Red or blue.

I swear that some politicians need to grow up.
Robecology replies on Aug 6, 2020:
@freedom41 Being "self-ish" is a survival mechanism. Telling people to "grow up" or "get a life" is vague and a simple ad-hominem attack. Attack the issues, please; not the attitude.
"Being selfish for your own good creates balance in your life and when you've reached a balance you'll know because you'll be giving what feels comfortable, and not resentful about giving. Self-care is important to prevent stress-related conditions such as illness and burnout."
Having said that; I concur that many politicians are elected to office thanks to support from special interests that want things done...but remember; they're elected. If you're not happy with a politician, work to vote them out.
Don't just say they should "grow up" please.

Robecology replies on Aug 3, 2020:
@AnneWimsey and @Mitch07102
Sorry - no links from you...another scientific link from me...I believe the research before you.
"Unhealthy fats
There are two main types of potentially harmful dietary fats:
Saturated fat. This type of fat comes mainly from animal sources of food, such as red meat, poultry and full-fat dairy products. Saturated fats raise high-density lipoprotein (HDL or "good") cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL or "bad") cholesterol levels, which may increase your risk of cardiovascular disease.
Trans fat. This type of fat occurs naturally in some foods in small amounts. But most trans fats are made from oils through a food processing method called partial hydrogenation. These partially hydrogenated trans fats can increase total blood cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels, but lower HDL cholesterol. This can increase your risk of cardiovascular disease.
Most fats that have a high percentage of saturated fat or that contain trans fat are solid at room temperature. Because of this, they're typically referred to as solid fats. They include beef fat, pork fat, butter, coconut oil, shortening and stick margarine."

@Mitch07102 Facts and science suggest you're wrong.
"Starting in the 1950s and '60s, that hypothesis was backed up by observational studies that looked at people who ate different diets and found a link between a diet heavy in saturated fat and cardiovascular diseases. This research was the basis for dietary guidelines that have long recommended people cut their saturated fat intake to stave off their risk of this leading killer."
I'm not clear about the comment " absent poor behaviors otherwise"....but saturated fats - solid at room temp...found in the flesh of beef, goats, and chicken DOES accelerate aging.

Calling an overweight person any names only hardens their stance on overeating and giving up on fitness.
Be gentle and tolerant with the FF's of the world, please. They're just suffering a serious delusional syndrome.

People who are very overweight often do have underlying health problems. People with underlying health problems don't do well with Covid. It's pretty obvious. Look at a Trump Rally. Those fat fucks will drop like flies 😥

However; While the Chinese are generously offering birth control and abortion access...the US still pays tax incentives for large families and attacks Planned Parenthood, China; in favor of slowing growth. America? in favor of speeding up growth.
If we in America can improve our family planning support, along with incentives to avoid junk food and eat better...we would be a better nation.

@Mitch07102 Meh...I'm set with my eating habits...and convinced of the science that I find for free on the web. I won't buy a book about it...but thanks for the offer.
The drive for me to lose weight came because I read in several places that getting closer to ideal Body mass is better for your heart....and I'm on two BP meds.
I just read Ram Dass's book "Still Here"...and he is now paralyzed because as he said - he didn't take his BP meds, and let his BMI go up. In 97 he suffered a debilitating stroke.
I won't go out that way.
Here's some scary science; for every pound of weight above your ideal Body mass you have to grow a hundred feet of capillaries, and a few feet of arteries and veins are added to help feed the excess tissue you've accumulated.
10 pounds = 1000 feet. 50 pounds and you have a mile more arteries, veins and capillaries than your same body at 50 pounds less.
Wow.

The populations of the world are growing at certain rates....imperialism, or piracy, or slave trades have little to do with the basic libido - the drive to reproduce - of humanity.
Orientals would have grown in population regardless of external pressures
The Africans were little affected by the slave trade.

There is a simple answer: anyone who infects another when not wearing a mask and that person dies be charged with manslaughter if not murder.

I heard that they help stop you passing the virus to other people and it doesn't protect the wearer.
Robecology replies on Jul 26, 2020:
That's why wearing a mask is a sign of respect for others. The science says it doesn't filter air inhaled nearly as much as air exhaled - hence wearing one assures folks around you that you're conscientious about social needs.

If it was Australian it would be Vegemite not peanut butter! If Chinese stir fried vegetables. - More evidence that the C19 virus came from an American lab?
Robecology replies on Jul 26, 2020:
Stop with the silly conspiracy theories.
Science traced it back to the habits of enjoying raw foods that are popular among the poor In oriental nations.
As a demographer it boils down to population growth...more and more fighting for less and less...while viral and bacterial infections find new victims easier and faster.
Malthus said it well...over 200 years ago; "As the quantity (of any one species in any given area) increases, the quality of life decreases".
Tired of saying "the good old days" yet?
