Where if Zhao doesn't Godwin a thread within the first few posts, he Blake's Laws it to death.

Zhao, would you like me to cut and paste all of your "belittlings" of everyone else from this thread? They outnumber everyone else's by a long shot, I think. Pretty impressive, given how many people ganged up on you for this one.

First, you've posted far more than your fair share of quick and dismissive posts. Plenty of them. So where you get off acting all huffy about that... I don't know. You also post about seven or eight nonsense posts to every one that makes any kind of sense. Your posts read like they're made by...

I'm going to go ahead and disagree with Sagan on the whole thing about understanding the number one being really heady and deep and hard to do. Even individual cells (which don't have brains or neurons or anything) can count.

Not necessarily, depends on which one... If you have two YY you are "supermale"...

Don't waste mine with your typically poorly worded, vague posts full of 8th-grade caliber discussion points.

Massrock, why is it that you always come into a thread really late, and then restate what people have already been saying throughout the whole thread, and then insist this is somehow a new insight that other people just don't get? It's really a pattern with you. Mistersloane: that makes sense...

Remember how Henry VIII killed all those wives (in part) because they failed to give him sons? Remember how throughout history women have been blamed when a son isn't produced, or when infertility strikes a couple? Well, it was science that forever laid that one to rest. It's the...

First, Dawkins is by far not my favorite guy in the world, I've never read a single book by the guy, although I've read *about* his work and I've read his website. That said, he's not unscientific in the least. There are uneducated people in the world who watch TV and that is basically where...

Not even sort of true. Not even vaguely true. Full of a bunch of tired strawmen.

Fixed that for you.

We have that, it's called Bushwick, Brooklyn, and it's not that mysterious. It's just a bunch of annoying, rich, narcissistic spoiled brats who never had to have a real job. Except now they dress up as zombies instead of demons.

The narcissism is like a brick wall.

Yup, those unscientific, non-rational Asian folk, making sure they don't use science to discover things, so they can keep the world mysterious--that's ancient China for you!

Bingo. Totally right. Wins thread. How many times have I mentioned that I'm into tantra on here, at least as a general interest if not as a strict practice? And other forms of non-dualistic Hinduism from a philosophical perspective. Quite a few. That's me, though, just dismissing every other...

OT, but you guys realized Jerry Springer is all staged, right? Just checking.

I was brought up with my grandmother reading my tea leaves for fuck's sake. I know all about your worldview. Moving away from "rationality" is not that point in D&G, although moving away from hierarchical systems is. Herein lies your problem: you conflate the two.

Psychozoology, or cryptozoology, as Chaotropic seems to be describing it here is an ethnological/ethnographic project, which does have an empirical basis. It's a form of data collection, really. Unless there's no data collected and it's just for fun, which is possible, in which case, it's...

Well, Swears, since you've been around for a while, you know it's gotta be one of two things: 1) Black Athena or 2) The West has lost its way to the magical mystery tour that the East has been on for, like, forever

Yeah, it's notoriously difficult to break through circular reasoning.
