As noted in the recent Pentagon report, the first four categories don't seem to explain what is being seen. Those categories being 1) Airborne materials like trash, balloons, birds, etc. 2) Atmospheric phenomena; 3) US or private industry developmental craft; 4) Russia, China or other adversaries. Ruling out those categories leaves " OTHER " which is unspecified as to being alien, ET or anything else. These incidents seem to be increasing in frequency, and many of them seem to involve surveillance of Earth's military assets. Violent confrontations usually result in military losses. What else do you want to know?

The anti-abortionists also oppose birth control. They don't have any reason - - The Catholics are against it and that just dovetails with the opposition to women's rights. (Extracted) : How does Plan B One-Step work? Plan B One-Step works like other birth control pills to prevent pregnancy. The drug acts primarily by stopping the release of an egg from the ovary. It may prevent a sperm from fertilizing the egg. If fertilization does occur, Plan B One-Step may prevent a fertilized egg from attaching to the womb. If a fertilized egg is implanted prior to taking Plan B One-Step, the drug will not work and pregnancy proceeds normally. https://www.webmd.com/sex/birth-control/features/plan-b-11-questions-11-answers

I believe they recovered 30 pipe bombs of undetermined nature. Perhaps they thought they'd be efficient by blowing them all up at once. At least this wasn't cold blooded murder for which they are infamous. Perhaps you saw this: Lawsuit Accuses Six LA Sheriff’s Deputies of Brutally Beating Black Man. A civil rights lawsuit filed Monday alleges six L.A. County Sheriff’s deputies repeatedly punched, choked and tasered a man during a traffic stop last year, leaving him unable to see out of one eye and in need of multiple facial reconstruction surgeries. At no point during the encounter did Bailey resist the deputies, and he had no weapons, according to his attorney, Toni Jaramilla. The deputies “were repeatedly kicking and inflicting knee strikes against Mr. Bailey while he lay defenseless on the ground,” the lawsuit claims. https://laist.com/news/criminal-justice/lawsuit-accuses-six-la-sheriffs-deputies-of-brutally-beating-black-man It is really frustrating that these psychopaths will never feel justice.
Creationist student owned by Dr. Tim White - YouTube
racocn8 comments on Jul 3, 2021:
Creationism is very much a conspiracy theory where evangelicals claim scientists are secret satanists or are otherwise doing Satan's work. This hate-mongering fosters the paranoia that is also aimed at other religions, LGBTs, Democrats and non-whites. It's an ugly dangerous cult where the mind is controlled, the eyes are shut and the guns are loaded. The Evangelicals and other right wingers love America the way a pedophile loves his victim. Given the choice of fascism or democracy, Republicans are down with fascism. They will wrap themselves in the flag, but they will gladly trade the US flag for the confederate flag, or a Trump flag.

racocn8 comments on Jul 3, 2021:
Too often women develop an emotional attachment to a man who aroused her, and that attachment prevents her from moving on when it is obviously appropriate to do so. In some cases, it's a sort of perversion where, perhaps because of low self-esteem, the lady comes to believe she deserves the punishment coming from the abuser. Abuse means ' walk away ', not, "this is exciting and I want more..."

Is religious belief natural or man made?
racocn8 comments on Jul 2, 2021:
In no way could children be born with innate religious beliefs. They are blank slates, but their brains are desperately seeking connections and correlations whether they are valid or not. Thus, the tendency to superstitious behavior may well be innate. Religion is the elaboration of superstition into rituals and repeating just-so stories. Early humans were likely to practice animism, while monotheism is a relatively recent invention.
Humanity has become complacent and acceptant to toxins, poisons, carcinogens, etc.

racocn8 comments on Jul 2, 2021:
Pretty disgraceful. But certainly no comparison with Jan 6 republican legislators inside, as well as the white nationalists outside. The notion that Democrats should be so obnoxious on this issue is bizarre. Young girls should not be forced to compete against transsexual biological males in athletics where money and scholarships are at stake. I'm all for gay rights, but this is a total loser of an issue. This appears to be one more instance of money from special interests (i.e. Jennifer Pritzker, the world’s first openly trans billionaire) unduly influencing politics. Trans people should have ordinary protections, but they cannot use their circumstances to deprive normal girls of fair competition. If this constitutes another burden on Trans women, so be it. The line has to be drawn somewhere. Trans rights in THIS INSTANCE should NOT be the issue that Democrats hang their hat on, even if promoting it is subsidized. This is the same PC bullshit where the AHA withdrew a 1996 award from Richard Dawkins, and it stinks.

This is my opinion in short with regard to Spiritualism.
racocn8 comments on Jun 30, 2021:
Spiritual sensations may well be classified as a surge of one or more neurotransmitters, or something on that order. However, from a subjective perspective, people feel sensations of profundity in response to paintings, music, massive architecture, stirring rhetoric, beautiful scenery... or, from Hubble photos, puzzling phenomena, beautiful equations and elegant discoveries. Evolution comes close to answering the profound questions of what we are, and how did we get here? Fully comprehending the relationship of humans to the rest of the biological world can provoke the same awe and humility that a religious person gets from a cathedral. The difference is that the cathedral or the sermon came from a human mind. While Darwin may have been the first to publish the idea of evolution, the concept itself, relative to our existence, is transcendental. It describes a profound principle with applications, some of which we can comprehend, and others we can't. The same for physics. As one learns the transitions from Newtonian to Maxwell to Einstein, and then to Quantum Mechanics, the beauty and elegance of the formulas are breathtaking and the implications stunning. Our minds are teased with issues beyond understanding. It is up to each person whether they wish to feel awe and humility with information based on truth, or or on poetic fiction.

Again, note that the true definition of atheist is one who is without belief in a god. No god is specified, and this represents a particular philosophical and even scientific perspective. No evidence for Odin or Yahweh means no reason to accept the claim from believers. Christians have turned the definition on it's head to suit their own purposes. Christian beliefs are absolutist in nature - - people are either friend or foe - - one is a member of the flock or a ward of Satan. Instead of respecting the true definition of atheist, Christians deem non-believing atheists to be haters of their god and redefine atheism to be someone who claims their god does not exist, and does so out of secret animosity against their god. Per the American Atheist website: "Older dictionaries define atheism as “a belief that there is no God.” Clearly, theistic influence taints these definitions. The fact that dictionaries define Atheism as “there is no God” betrays the (mono)theistic influence. Without the (mono)theistic influence, the definition would at least read “there are no gods.” " https://www.atheists.org/activism/resources/about-atheism/

Turing Test, history, AIs, and other off the wall speculation: [united-cats.com]
racocn8 comments on Jun 23, 2021:
The question might be whether people are have intelligence? Can people pass a Turing test? Which ones and why would some fail? Which is to say that the level of intelligence people wield probably varies enormously with quite a few operating entirely on instinct. On a quasi-related note: Circa 1975, A close friend gave me a hand-made board game called Star Empire with a set of lead spaceships, scoring sheets, instructions and dice. I played with neighbors a few times and refined the rules. Shortly thereafter, Commodore came out with the Vic 20, a computer you hooked up to your TV and which could be programmed in Basic. Being fond of programming, I set out to make a computer game based on using this primitive system. The system improved slightly with the compatible Commodore 64, and I continued to adapt the game, learning programming and computer subtleties. While the game didn't translate 100%, I eventually published and sold the game. I learned that quite a bit of what we take to be human can be programmed and simulated. I could also see that with a bit of work, one could develop programs that would write software that could be added to existing programs, and thus enable them to learn, or to mimic learning...
