Think about, if they can get the DNA they can virtually resurrect anybody at any age and graft on the biographical data to an artificial personality. Or they could just create new people virtually from bits and pieces of DNA similar to how it's done naturally and own the image rights to them, kinda like a virtual slave!I’d be more interested in artists who never were with us, like Jelly Roll Haydn, or John Philip Zeppelin.

My lack of a scientific background is exposed! Belief is a better word, but I instictively avoid it due to my religious indoctrination. I will be more careful, using a word more like "thought."The word theory is very much overused, like paranoid for suspicious.
In a rigorous setting, hypothesis serves better; in ordinary usage, belief covers it. But theory connotes detailed and informed reasoning, so it sounds based, as my kids might say.
I pounded on these semantics when I instructed chemistry.
Belief is the perfect fit, and it does not really have the same religious twang as, say, faith.My lack of a scientific background is exposed! Belief is a better word, but I instictively avoid it due to my religious indoctrination. I will be more careful, using a word more like "thought."
Given the insidiousness of the influence, I still struggle to use a short list of words. In my formative years, I felt I had to avoid those words to keep from identifying with that crowd. And to this day, hearing them is like mild PTSD.Belief is the perfect fit, and it does not really have the same religious twang as, say, faith.
You can trust the Cornelius Brothers (and Sister Rose).
Can’t argue with that.Given the insidiousness of the influence, I still struggle to use a short list of words. In my formative years, I felt I had to avoid those words to keep from identifying with that crowd. And to this day, hearing them is like mild PTSD.
Where/when/how I grew up was - stunting, almost mortally. Like, the sky is so obviously blue, you guys. Why does everyone - EVERYONE - keep telling me it's not?
Additionally, worse, it suggest that actually theories are the result of a similar level of reasoning. ”That’s just a theory”. That genie left the bottle long ago though. Whether someone says I have a theory or I belief in an informal setting my response is similar: substantiate it.But theory connotes detailed and informed reasoning, so it sounds based,
I get the feeling Brooks's real point was to put a human face on fascism (whether he realizes it or not). I suspect his motives, but he did point out the jilting social change as a factor for why fascism returns. Note that in clearing my throat and posting the article, I stated that the article comes across as shifting blame, much how Russia apologists do over Ukraine.Additionally, worse, it suggest that actually theories are the result of a similar level of reasoning. ”That’s just a theory”.

I do feel similar about “belief” as “faith” but then the dutch religious people literally say ”I have belief” instead of having faith. If one of you says “I believe“ I automatically assume you haven’t given it much thought (yet) and even slightly suggests a choice was made, bias. I prefer “I think…” or “my thoughts” because of what those words imply, but anything is better than using “I feel” / “my feelings on”. But then, that‘s just a feeling.
@GenericEnigma reading back my post… I did not mean to suggest arrogance by claiming originality or anything like that. That was me being clumsy, point was just that even though mentioning it he’s not really ‘making’ the same point you are.
As could be expected, I have a place in my heart for anyone who broke from such influence.Can’t argue with that.
I came (and went) mercifully late to the pentecostal world, and it surely left a mark.
Indeed you did. Noted now.Note that in clearing my throat and posting the article, I stated that the article comes across as shifting blame, much how Russia apologists do over Ukraine.
Yeah what makes a fellow human tick… especially since 2016.Personally, I just want to understand how a fellow human can go so crazy. It has been a preoccupation of mine.
~can’t resist~Indeed you did. Noted now.
What I also missed is one of cannabineer’s reply who touched on one of my main objections:
”First, Brooks’s column contributes to a false perception that non-college voters form a uniform bloc that moved entirely into the Republican corner.”
and thus also the other way around. That is, anti-trumpers or the educated people on the left are not specifically the elites or the ones to address when tackling issues like meritocracy and educationism. The Obama example, the suggestion anti-trumpers are the bad guys who need to behave differently, on top of painting that false perception above, seems malicious. I don’t know the guy. Some dutch guy recently wrote a book called “most people are good” and I almost choked reading the title.
Many of the grievances from conservatives are self-inflicted and logical results of conservatism.

Here is his facebook profile picture...United States law enforcement officials have shot and killed a Utah man who allegedly made threats against President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, ahead of a scheduled presidential visit to the state.

On a similar note, no article in English yet cause it’s just hours old, the medical university Amsterdam UMC found a seemingly effective cure to long covid. It’s basically a cancer medicine repurposed and removes the enzymes still produced long after infection. BMS and Bayer who can create it aren’t eager to produce and sell it yet but considering the impact of long covid and still increasing amount of enlighting research on it that will have to change.
Americans just love their guns and dressing up. Looks like he is off to a political rally.
Here in Alberta the jacked up pick-me-up truck is the badge of the micro-penis crowd.Americans just love their guns and dressing up. Looks like is is off to a political rally.
Oh, the irony.Wouldn't it be great if the US gave the island back to its owners.
FifyA small minority of Americans just love their guns and dressing up. Looks like he is off to a political rally.
