What comes to children they accept as eternally established. —Rudyard Kipling

Robecology comments on Sep 24, 2019:

Rudyard Kipling was decades ahead of other writers in his ecological wisdom, when he wrote "Jungle Book". Watch the adult version (fromthe 90's) for the best story, IMO.. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110213/ John Clease was fabulous in that one....and the line "the law of the Jungle says animals hunt for food....humans do not obey that law" by the adult Mogli...to me was the highlight of the movie.

Curious.

Robecology comments on Sep 24, 2019:

The myth-followers are more plentiful than I/we've realized. Despite our growth of education and advances in science....religion is still increasing numbers world-wide. ...and, sadly....they explain why Trump got elected. It's the "life-beyond-death" promise, more than any of the other "promises"..I'm convinced. And I do feel more sadness than fear from these delusional folk. They're just naive, silly, and scared. If you realize they're harmless (for the most part) you tolerate and communicate with them better.

Robecology comments on Sep 24, 2019:

It's an old and common scam....old, outdated pics, fake bios....to draw you in....then they describe a terrible situation they're in...then they ask you to help them. Not all go to this extreme; some want you to just "be impressed" - some have it in their heads that they're younger, more attractive, etc. It was in its' infancy in the newspaper "personals' but with the internet these scams have become common. So just beware. Don't get caught up. In latin..."Caveat Emptor" Let the buyer beware... I got caught in a scam recently myself...so just check yourself before you "jump in"

Good morning! A very simple question for you today: How Do You Define Success?

Robecology comments on Sep 24, 2019:

Success is setting goals...then reaching or exceeding them. There's a trick to reaching success...you must learn to set reasonable, achievable goals. I feel badly for the world who sets their goals beyond their own capacities...and thus act "deprived" "deranged" or otherwise "troubled" because, in their mind...they haven't "found success".

Too variable a factor to be discussed. It totally depends on too many variables itself.

Robecology comments on Sep 22, 2019:

IMO, as a retired science teacher (of 45 years), It's not a bad thing to push its' classification as "academic"... I think it implies that scientific posts are information and/or knowledge-based, and/or fact-based comments. I would hope that more science posts would include a link to back them up... that's a way to be "academic"....support your POV with references... thusly; https://www.umt.edu/writingcenter/docs/resourcesforwriters/waystosupportanargument.pdf

The Dems need to read this.

Robecology comments on Sep 22, 2019:

The Dems are becoming the party of sophistication. Trump may seem illiterate and borderline crazy...but he's crazy like a fox. He's clever enough to make sure he's using all the ways to skirt the issues...all the ways to avoid confrontation with "the law"....including getting the heads of law on his side. So I'm sensing, as jerry99 seems to be doing as well....that the Dems in power know they're wasting their time and efforts to go against the Republicans now. It will take a massive sea-change in 2020 to bring back the sanity, the science, and the ecology of sophisticated rule. The image says it for me....

Good Afternoon Everyone! Does anyone like being single?

Robecology comments on Sep 21, 2019:

It is, indeed, a challenge to be "paired up" with someone. You have to sacrifice, and bend, and tolerate certain things....and in exchange you're rewarded with intimacy and children. There's a lot of wisdom to the person that finds themselves single, alone...and complete! It's easy to explain biologically; whenever any species gets too crowded there's a natural turn-off of the mating drive. Any student of Ecology will vouch for me here. So my strategy is - put myself out there. When someone's very in tune with me...and lives close to me...they'll find me. ....and vice-versa. I am focusing, right now, on loving myself -alone - as I am - with all my flaws....perfect. ....but if anyone's ready for "my kind of perfection" please do get in touch!

Climate Change: The Trouble With Trees [youtube.com]

Robecology comments on Sep 20, 2019:

So #1. Earth is only 30% land. #2. Only 25% of that land is covered with forests; for a total earthly percentage of 7.5% CO2/O2 exchange. Even is we allow for 50% of our land coverage to become more forest-covered...that's still only 15% of world-wide total oxygen production. #3. Oceans cover 70% of the the planet. Our real name should be planet Ocean. #4. 90% of the ocean is where most (70-80%) of our oxygen comes from #5. Oceans are where we still dump our most toxic, most dangerous wastes. #6. Let's stop struggling with tree planting, and look toward cleaner oceans and healthier phyto-plankton; the microscopic pre-plants that gave us most of our Oxygen in the first place. https://eos.org/research-spotlights/worlds-biggest-oxygen-producers-living-in-swirling-ocean-waters

You will leave it the same way. Embrace it.

As @CutieBeauty put it...it's an "oxymoron" to call agnosticism a "faith"...it's a thought system that is the opposite of faith.

How Tall Can Mountains Get? [youtube.com]

Robecology comments on Sep 17, 2019:

Mountains rise because Granite is less dense than Basalt....Hence granitic rocks "float" on the mantle, Basaltic rocks sink. As long as the core is fluid and plastic, mountains will rise...and as long as wind and rain occurs, they will be eroded. It's this rate of rise and erosion that separates the Rockies from the Alps and the Alps from the Appalachians and Catskills.

Socialst leaders have tried - with horrible results - to control population. We can't keep growing...but for capitalism to work - it must. Socialism has the root of the issue in it's name. We've formed a society. A society that's growing by 158 more per minute. 227,000 more per day. A million more every 5 days. (http://www.poodwaddle.com) The earth isn't growing....so the "capitalists" profit from wars and weapons, from stripping the earth of its' resources. They knew forssts were necessary for us to breathe - yet they kept stripping the forests...until socialists restricted them. They know that fuels have to be ended...but their lust for money makes them ignore this. And so far, in America, at least, low taxes (we're the lowest of any nation) on fuels and subsidies on fuel makers (we're the highest) make the capitalists' fuel obsession work. https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10327 So they push capitalism and fear "socialism" This must end.

I wouldn't go so far as to call him "phony" - he's just clearly centrist....clearly "middle-of-the-road" clearly he will go with the flow but doesn't show us much leadership.

I see a lot of dead and dying trees, and two stone (?) monoliths....correct?

I had no idea that Ben Orr was the lead singer for most of the Cars' hits... sad that the group didn't keep going...Orr died young, in 2000, of Pancreatic cancer. Sad. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cars

Hey everybody! What's your favorite form of transportation?

Robecology comments on Sep 16, 2019:

My two favorite activities are transportation oriented...swimming and biking. My favorite car....the Tesla...I even created a group for that.("Tesla owners/drivers/lovers Group"). Trains are fun...as are buses. Too few use mass transit; once you try it you fall in love with it. Can you tell I love it?

That committee's toothless, and Chao and McConnell know it. Trump's proven he can flaunt any congressional action, with our courts' blessings. We're in deep s...t until we vote for a regime change.

Good afternoon all.

If you're in NYC, find a good Broadway show. There's plenty to be seen....and that plus a dinner out can end up being a huge tab...but a glorious time!

I'm slowly losing weight. My target is getting in to the 130's and staying there...while keeping my fitness. I work out daily; either a good swim, or a decent bike ride. I won't go to a high fat /low carb "keto" diet. The logic to me is in the portions and the hunger factor. If I go to be a bit hungry, I lose weight. If I eat unwisely, I gain weight. The diet demands we have are far stronger than any drug addiction; we've been programmed to diet prefs before we could walk and talk...so it's no wonder that it's hard to change our diet. My recommendations are simple....ease up on the carbs. Cut out/reduce breads, rice, and potatoes. Boost your proteins and fiber. Boost your fresh frruits and veggies. Even frozen and lightly cooked is better than none. Ease up on your pure sugar; Splenda/sucralose is a good substitute. I'm at 145 this AM and I plan to be in the 130's by the time the holiday "feasting" season rolls around.

For those who don't want to "click" to the web site; it's basically that Cacao may go extinct...NO CHOCOLATE!! "Here's some chocolate-covered bad news. Many of the world's cacao plants—the natural ingredient in chocolate—are being decimated by a fungus. '

I do not go on FaceBook very often I rarely read post there anymore.

I concur...and that damned "messenger" box floats right in the middle of my Words with Friends games. Restart your computer, or go to preferences and close or cancel the messenger service.

That reminds me of a good one I've saved;
