and we wonder why so many people ignore "scientist" random thoughts Send a noteboard - 19/08/2011 01:17:38 PM
They really should just change their name to environmental activist with degrees and loads of public funding but I guess tjhat doesn't roll off the tongue. Maybe they should stick to trying to understand and explain the world instead of trying to change it, we don't need activist scientists.

I've seen Start Trek, I know the real threat is you killing whales. snoopcester - 19/08/2011 10:34:08 AM 779 Views
I know Camilla - 19/08/2011 10:36:22 AM 716 Views

It's the other other white meat. Joel - 19/08/2011 07:13:19 PM 719 Views
There's so much wrong with that Isaac - 19/08/2011 01:08:57 PM 750 Views

It's still debatable whether we've abandoned the evolutionary ladder. Joel - 19/08/2011 11:16:58 PM 869 Views
You'll welcome to debate that with a biologist, it's not my specialty or interest Isaac - 20/08/2011 04:46:43 AM 830 Views
I've seen a lot of mainstream biologists suggest human evolution may be mostly mental now. Joel - 21/08/2011 11:32:48 AM 842 Views
Neither of us are biologists though and it's not really relveant anyway Isaac - 21/08/2011 01:21:06 PM 814 Views
I'm not ignoring it, just wondering why over half the planet ignores it and lives in misery. Joel - 21/08/2011 01:55:53 PM 783 Views
If you have occassion to spend time in those places you'll know why Isaac - 21/08/2011 02:38:44 PM 710 Views
How does literal mud huts as the norm respresent living standards rising "a lot". Joel - 22/08/2011 12:29:35 AM 887 Views
You seem to have cherry-picked what you wanted to hear out of my comments Isaac - 22/08/2011 01:07:10 AM 587 Views
"It's a stability thing, not a Western greed thing" seemed to encapsulate your comments. Joel - 22/08/2011 03:10:17 PM 728 Views
Only if you really cherry pick them Isaac - 23/08/2011 02:48:08 AM 739 Views
This seems to have descended into an insoluble partisan debate. Joel - 23/08/2011 07:43:07 PM 811 Views
You're the one who dragged it to that Isaac - 23/08/2011 08:10:03 PM 723 Views
Did I? Joel - 25/08/2011 10:18:29 PM 755 Views

American companies don't go to China SOLELY to screw the working class, no;that's largely incidental Joel - 25/08/2011 08:03:05 PM 862 Views
we should abdon the myth of the evolutionary ladder random thoughts - 20/08/2011 11:49:35 PM 641 Views
Probably; as discussed in Brams thread it should never be seen as predictive, let alone prophetic. Joel - 21/08/2011 11:55:09 AM 743 Views
Well, for this context I think the use is okay Isaac - 21/08/2011 11:59:19 AM 737 Views
That's an interesting point about the NEED for fossil fuels as a stepping stone to advanced culture. Joel - 21/08/2011 12:33:59 PM 825 Views
Not a need, just an edge Isaac - 21/08/2011 02:06:23 PM 634 Views
There's industrialization and then there's industrialization. Joel - 22/08/2011 12:53:35 AM 995 Views
If you were more familiar with engineering you'd not say something like that Isaac - 22/08/2011 01:53:33 AM 1017 Views
I dispute that industrialization is primarily about non-agricultural production. Joel - 22/08/2011 03:10:19 PM 932 Views
Well you can argue that with a dictionary I suppose Isaac - 23/08/2011 03:50:52 AM 749 Views
I'm not above that, but the dictionary definitions I've found are disappointingly self-referential. Joel - 24/08/2011 02:25:21 AM 698 Views
That tends to be the case, it is a kinda vague term outside of specific context Isaac - 24/08/2011 09:12:19 AM 857 Views
Tends to moot that part of the debate though. Joel - 26/08/2011 12:31:21 AM 997 Views

yes I was just jumping into the middle of the discussion. random thoughts - 22/08/2011 03:03:49 PM 671 Views

Think it's better to ignore "reporters on a slow news day," to be honest *NM* beetnemesis - 19/08/2011 02:38:23 PM 293 Views
Or even acquire a sense of humour. *NM* Camilla - 19/08/2011 08:36:07 PM 327 Views

Hypothetical aliens are perfectly wise aerocontrols - 19/08/2011 06:24:13 PM 665 Views
You may be confusing aliens with God. Joel - 19/08/2011 07:08:01 PM 704 Views
Not confused aerocontrols - 19/08/2011 11:41:56 PM 718 Views
It's a an amusing disconnect to watch. Joel - 20/08/2011 12:25:00 AM 723 Views
Naturally. Camilla - 19/08/2011 08:36:28 PM 799 Views
So, basically, we're the poor white trash of the universe. Joel - 19/08/2011 07:06:23 PM 760 Views
