The pathetic lady can't resist online flirting. It's in her nature. Contrary to her denials, I suspect she yearns for a paunchy, middle-age labcoat. She would dress him in a toga and be quite content.

Tantric sex exists, and can be discussed under both religion and science, but this ain't it.

Jan,
For those who are unaware, perhaps you could explain what that is.
Secondly, you could also say how you know.

Trump declared 9/3 as National Prayer Day for victims of Harvey. Big government FEMA changes outcomes.....time spent praying just slows down the cleanup.

About Firestein’s talk:
Education comes in many different forms. Formal education is one variety. There are others.
Formal education assumes that there are problems and that there are solutions or answers to those problems. That’s what leads to questions. All questions are created or contrived. One will not find any questions or problems or solutions empirically.

We are the solution. Or at least a solution.
Seems like we could be dead, but for some reason we're not. Go figure.
Or don't. But there'll be plenty of time to not go figure when we're dead.

We are the solution.
No, we are not. We are too st00pid and don't know the real solution.
The gross materialists have no real solutions because they believe they are dead.
The gross materialist don't even know what constitutes life itself yet, and thus they are dead men walking .....

Sounds like your solution to that question is to believe that we are not a solution. K.
It's good to know stuff, or at least to believe we know stuff. Viva the human solution!

Putting a climate change denier in charge of NASA is very strategic. His first task will be to shut down NASAs very well done and influential climate change website. The site is one of the go to for people making arguments for tha existence of human influenced climate change.

One point of the Firestein lecture seemed to sum it up pretty well. He went through a long exposition on how the scientific literature was increasing, and it's hard to keep up with it all, and presented data with a chart, and math, growth rates, blah blah blah, and derived the statistic that there are 3 new papers per minute.
Then he said he's been up there lecturing for 10 minutes, and then derived the conclusion that he better get to reading, because he had lost 3 papers during that time!
Hmmm. 3 papers per minute for 10 minutes - that's a head scratcher! Let's just say 3.
It seems so apt to how humans think. We have all these complicated and complex belief processes which we use to create beliefs which we build on and then believe are true. But sometimes we make mistakes, without noticing our mistakes. But heck, we believe it any way.
"You get the results that you screen for."
Pfft! Just ask our resident feminists - the reason there are fewer women in science is because they're just not as good at science! I guess we could say the same for racial disparities in wealth.
If we were inclined to believe such things. Which it seems like we are. Survivor biased belief processes are all the rage. Praise Jesus!

Because HFCS is a kind of anti religious wackjob he always gets drawn towards a religious wackjob also.
Both of them go together as each is at one end of the extreme spectrum as the other .....
