Because in this case - they're not being devoured so someone can survive. But for the sheer gall and thrill of it. Meanwhile, humans have a huge empathy problem in regard to animals (and other types of species) - perhaps its most ca

Bothersome is an understatement. This is snake oil of the most insidious kind. Oh wait, here's another zinger: "I even think AI is going to improve warfare, when it has to happen, by reducing wartime death rates dramatically.&qu

He hasn't seen the stuff (or even photos of the stuff) himself - he's only spoken to people who claim they have, or who claim to know of it. Why are you, then, hallucinating that he's some kind of "witness"?

The point is that just because someone with a chest full of medals says something, that doesn't make it so. You have to look into the evidence for the thing itself. I think it's clear we're talking past each other by this po

Ironically this is what many people thought when they saw Colin Powell go in front of the UN and do his song and dance about Iraq's WMD program. Which surely must have been a clear and present danger to the world at large, for this gu

I might as well be the Queen of Romania as far as you're concerned. And hey, you can believe whatever you want about this stuff. I really don't care. I do find most of the line of discussion here to be quite silly, though.

Watergate had tapes, reams of documents - and riveting testimony under penalty of perjury. When we have that on the table in regard to this matter -- we'll have something to talk about. As it stands now -- we have nothing.

So lack of evidence it itself -- a form of evidence? I'm not sure what to say to that.

Evidence in real life is accumulative, Right -- and so far there's an accumulation of precisely zero. On top of it you pretend to be able to judge the validity of "artifacts". I defer largely to (legitimate) experts, actu

Exactly. Sure, let's have people come forward and show us what they got, or what they've seen. Until then -- all I'm saying is: C'mon, people -- hold your horses. We're scientists here, after all.

Worth remembering that if in 2010 you claimed that the US government was spying on everyone via everything, you'd be called a conspiracy-nut, we now know that it was true, what so many people were claiming before that. For one thing

That's not evidence. That's hearsay. Fragments, please. Or photos, or at least reasonably credible scientific reports describing these fragments. Or at least something resembling, you know -- first-hand evidence . Otherwise t

Agreed. Part of the strategy for obtaining that goal is to stop giving them free propaganda points, in my view. Being as propaganda is one of the primary capital streams (besides oil revenues) that the regime unequivocally responsible for

The problem seems to be driven by undocumented workers crossing the border. No, as always (and from basic physic, as it were): what it's driven by is greed, and a lack of oversight. And to some extent, it may be a negative side e

So, if the ukranians send nazi russians to russia to kill russians to stop the war, and the nazis get killed, that's a win for everybody, right? Aside from the fact that they most likely won't (get killed) -- no, it's still
