    We called it senioritis. That sudden change of excitement to dread as seniors realize they are going to be separated from the peer group they’re mostly been with for years at their local school and now have to go out and make something of themselves on a new, unfamiliar environment.

    Why does this discussion immediately turn to culling and eugenics? It’s like you can’t even admit there could be a problem. Fixing it will be hard, but few suggest those steps are the solution. Instead, it starts with realizing everyone can’t have the standard 2.5 kids. We cannot just keep going. Earth is finite and has finite resources. Adding people means less and less is available to everyone else. But people that want a ton of kids hate hearing that. So it becomes solution aversion (if you don’t like a solution, deny there is a problem) and strawmen, like claiming anyone that thinks there is overpopulation wants eugenics.










  • Because this god awful bullshit story isn’t worth the photons carrying it to my eyes.

    Fauci is an American hero that worked tirelessly to save lives from AIDS, swine flu, Ebola, and COVID, but COVID made it clear orange God-king was a moron, so people like you invent stupid conspiracy theories to discredit him.


  • A few I love:

    The Constant: A History of Getting Things Wrong. Host Mark Chrysler tells stores from the distant to not-to-distant past of people being wrong. Wrong science, crockpot ideas, and more. For example, one episode looks at where people thought birds went in the winter, such as flying to the moor or turning into barnacles. There are 2 different episodes on different doctors that thought sewing animal testicles (one ape balls, the other goat balls) bought great health benefits. Another series of episodes looks at how most forensic techniques (at least before DNA) ante based on pure BS.

    Our Fake History: Host Sebastian Major tells the truth about historic myths, be it about people, organizations, or places. Did Shakespeare write his plays? Was the story of the Trojan War based on real history? Was their really a black samurai?
