  Bergman has passed lots and lots of examinations but in some areas he is a complete dolt.

  You will find it difficult to find others in academia who take him seriously.

  Sir Isaac Newton's date for the end of the World

  by LostintheFog1999 in

  this uk newspaper carried a most interesting article about sir isaac newton.. apparently, as well as science, newton was interested in calculating the second coming of jesus and the end of the world, which he reckoned would happen in 2060.. https://www.express.co.uk/news/weird/1760879/isaac-newton-doomsday-prophecy-imminent-apocalypse.

  I think Newton wrote more about theology than science. He had some far out beliefs.

  Biden running in 2024 🤣

  i've filed this under news and world events, although i could've posted it under entertainment, lol.

  apparently, joe biden will be seeking re-election for another term in the white house.. this, despite a recent poll showing that 70% of people don't want him to run again.. biden just has to be the worst president i've seen.

  his gaffes, over-relience on a prompter, and, more than any other president, his refusal to answer journalists' questions, all go to make him top of the list in terms of bad presidents.. it will certainly provide entertainment, if nothing else..

  Biden is a figurehead. Will the Democratic party be able to hide him from scrutiny enough to protect the facade?

  It's a sad state of affairs when a country the size of the USA look like they are going to resort to a re-run of Biden v Trump. It's difficult to see how Trump could have picked up any additional support since 2020.

  Ron DeSantis looks like an interesting option if Trump doesn't destroy him first.

  American domestic politics is a matter for Americans but the world needs an intelligent leader in charge of the Superpower.

  The corrosive nature of CRT

  diane abbot has been temporarily suspended from the labour party whilst they investigate her behaviour.. what's she done?.

  it was leaked that a first draft of a letter she was going to write had the claim that jews can't experience racism.. the influence of crt is obvious.

  according to this warped worldview, there are two types of people, oppressors and oppressed.

  If you have only heard about Gramsci from those who use him as a kind of villain it’s no basis - SBF

  Gramsci was a leading intellectual force behind 20th century Marxism.

  Marxism murdered at least 10 million citizens who were unlucky enough to be born in the wrong place and time. As a philosophy it has proven to be every bit as evil as National Socialism. To defend Marxism or to wish for a revival of Marxism in some new version for the 21st century is the moral equivalent of longing for the philosophy that underpinned Fascism.

  Better off PIMA than POMA or POMO.

  by ExBethelitenowPIMA in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the situation is many of us are pima and all putting on a front, sometimes saying something we don’t fully believe.

  or at least are actually agnostic about but a hope that it’s true.. but it can be useful if someone is really going through a hard time or has something they are very worried about, to say things like well let’s hope there is not much longer of this old system.. this can be useful in an awkward situation where you just don’t know what to do or say.

  it’s a little bit of hope that can help when there is nothing else.. my agnosticism just means i won’t look back over decades thinking i wasted my life.

  CRT of itself is not a bad thing of course,

  CRT is a poisonous lie.

  It treats people as members of groups or categories in opposition to other groups. Investigate its origins in Legal studies with Derek Bell and Kimberly Krenshaw et all.

  Its destructive effect on society is deliberate, part of the 'long March through the institutions' planned by Antonio Gramsci and put into practice by Herbert Marcusi.

  Those who promote CRT have little or no concern for racial inequity. Their objective is to take a short cut to power.

  BLM were a recent example of CRT in action. Corrupt, violent, chaotic Marxists who pretended to idolise a dead criminal for reasons of personal profit.

  CRT should be unapologetically opposed without compromise.

  Ex-B - The proof of the common ancestry of all living things is beyond all sensible debate.

  It's in the fossil record - we have an embarrassment of riches of fossils showing the transition between species.

  It's also in comparative anatomy, but most of all it is in DNA. The very same proof that is used in courts of law every day to prove paternity or to convict rapists and murderers shows absolutely that humans share a common ancestry with other primates.

  Many examples are found in that link to forty topics that I gave you but you were too lazy/afraid to read them. Your choice.

  Please have a read at this post that shows why the organisation got it wrong about blood.

  Wishing you well.
