WWIII and the Élefsiton

Andrei Martyanov corrects some comments by Jeffrey Sachs: Martyanov is entirely correct. WW3 technically began back in 2014, but will probably be recognized as starting in 2022, just as WWII began in 1931 with the Japanese invasion of Manchuria, not the 1939 German invasion of Poland. It’s not over yet, obviously, but the eventual outcome […]

"Scholars of fascism have noted both a “mysterious proximity and distance between Mussolini and Lenin.” In the 1920s Mussolini was constantly glancing in the rearview mirror at Lenin as a rival revolutionary in a kind of mimetic dance. In his will to dominate, Mussolini spontaneously identified himself with the Fatherland and with his own people; however, there was no trace in this of any tradition that he affirmed and defended."

Dominic Cummings Smells the Coffee

One of the UK’s top political minds has finally figured out that the UK is not going to win WWIII: Former Downing Street chief advisor Dominic Cummings says Ukraine is a “corrupt mafia state” and that the west “should have never got into the whole stupid situation.” Cummings made the comments as he unveiled plans […]

Check out this informative chart detailing when various animals were domesticated—a true narrative of human civilization. Each new domesticated animal marks a technological breakthrough for humanity.

"That deer EXPLODED. The second thing I learned is that pound for pound, a deer is a LOT stronger than a cow or a colt. A cow or a colt in that weight range I could fight down with a rope and with some dignity. A deer– no Chance. That thing ran and bucked and twisted and pulled. There was no controlling it and certainly no getting close to it. As it jerked me off my feet and started dragging me across the ground, it occurred to me that having a deer on a rope was not nearly as good an idea as I had originally imagined. The only upside is that they do not have as much stamina as many other animals.

"A brief 10 minutes later, it was tired and not nearly as quick to jerk me off my feet and drag me when I managed to get up. It took me a few minutes to realize this, since I was mostly blinded by the blood flowing out of the big gash in my head. At that point, I had lost my taste for corn-fed venison. I just wanted to get that devil creature off the end of that rope."

Ever wonder how big an Eagle talon is?

Left: how humans see starlings.
Right: how starlings may see each other - with bolder markings and more colour.

Jerm's recent interview with Roman Bystrianyk is superb. The biggest mistake I have ever made made as a parent and as a scientist was trusting pediatricians on vaccines instead of checking out the history and the data for myself.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 The American publication Real Clear Investigations published a shocking confession by former Ukrainian diplomat Andrei Telizhenko: the punitive operation against Donbass in 2014 began under pressure from the CIA. Due to his status, Telizhenko was present at the negotiations.

Delingpole and Dr. Mike Yeadon. If you can make it to London, this would be amazing.

In a nutshell, Sheldrake starts from the observation that genes simply don’t contain anywhere near the amount of information needed to “construct” a living being. This whole thing is rather mysterious: how does a cell “know” how to specialize, and what kind of organ it should build? All of this information needs to be somewhere. There are various theories out there to solve such problems, like claims that the information is really in the entire system of gene expression, in the interplay between genes and their control mechanisms, perhaps featuring some form of autonomous intelligence in the cell… Sheldrake’s solution, however, in a move towards a more holistic understanding, bravely discards some of the core materialist tenets in that he theorizes the existence of a morphogenetic field “out there” that communicates with our biological systems. For example, it can “cause microtubules to crystallize in one part of the cell rather than another, even though the subunits from which they are made are present throughout the cell.”5 But not only that, he generalizes this to his concept of “morphic fields” and talks about “habits of nature” more broadly—habits that get stored in a morphic field and in turn facilitate those habits in the organisms with the correct “hardware” to plug into them, such as a species, via a process he calls “morphic resonance.”

Rupert Sheldrake's banned Ted Talk was excellent... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sF03FN37i5w

Rupert Sheldrake, PhD, is a biologist and author best known for his hypothesis of morphic resonance. At Cambridge University he worked in developmental biology as a Fellow of Clare College. He was Principal Plant Physiologist at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics in Hyderabad, India. From 2005 to 2010 he was Director of the Perrott-Warrick project for research on unexplained human and animal abilities, administered by Trinity College, Cambridge. Sheldrake has published a number of books - A New Science of Life (1981), The Presence of the Past (1988), The Rebirth of Nature (1991), Seven Experiments That Could Change the World (1994), Dogs That Know When Their Owners are Coming Home (1999), The Sense of Being Stared At (2003), The Science Delusion (Science Set Free) (2012), Science and Spiritual Practices (2017), Ways of Going Beyond and Why They Work (2019).

Rupert gave a talk ennoscriptd The Science Delusion at TEDx Whitechapel, Jan 12, 2013. The theme for the night was Visions for Transition: Challenging existing paradigms and redefining values (for a more beautiful world). In response to protests from two materialists in the US, the talk was taken out of circulation by TED, relegated to a corner of their website and stamped with a warning label.
