That’s a pretty fair assessment I would say. We seem to be accommodating a lower common denominators and as a result a lot of the ‘thinkers’ don’t engage so much.

I only engage here now for the few who provide something erudite like your jolly self. I quite frequently disagree but that is irrelevant. It’s the discussion which is important.

Trump, pets and weather seem to be the order of the day currently so not much to salvage out of that lot!

I’ve felt the same… In fact, and with that - bye for now ~

Dog created man in its own image. And if you want deep thought. Questions: 1. Is that quite literally true ? 2. Does the dominant partner in a symbiotic relationship have the greatest effect on its partners genetics, is it mutual or the opposite ? 3. Does symbiosis always lead to degeneration in one or both partners ? 4. Am I being sarcastic too, or geeky or both ?

A modicum of thought is all I feel like giving most of the posts here. I delete about half of the alerts without reading them.

By their popularity, I suppose that is indeed what some people want, and that's cool.

The puppy is adorable, thank you.

Not all who visit desire deep discourse. I visit to relax, unwind, and be amused. I get plentt of brain abuse elsewhere in my life.

...when I put up content of substance, content that calls for a modicum of thought
This is, of course, IYHO.
