@nicrypto The best chance for peace was removal of the current regime in Iran. Trump blinked. There will be no lasting peace under any negotiated deal with the Mullahs/IRGC.
Decimating their military will not stop them from acquiring a bomb or supporting proxies or crushing their own people. The regime and its goals are intact and that is a humiliating loss for the USA. Trump blinked, and blinked again. A new Iran could have become the West’s greatest ally.
@StanleyCohenLaw Such a silly argument. Jewish traditions go back 3000 years and the US was a continuation of European traditions going back 3000 years as well. When people move to new places they bring their traditions with them.
@BiblicGrounded Nonsense. I don’t want myself or the people I love harmed. If enough people feel that way, they form a social contract that punishes transgressors. It requires no more explanation than this.
@DigitalDisdain@___TheGOOdWitch The basis of morality is simple. I don’t want to be harmed and I don’t want those I love harmed. If enough people feel the same way the make laws punishing transgressors. God was invented as a surveillance tool for when nobody was looking.
@BraddrofliT They are still not taxed on the estimated capital value of their homes. It’s very different. The equivalent would be rising land taxes plus an unrealized cap gain on top.
@bubba_slim@EdwardTWinz You’re delusional. I prefer that the US and Israel had finished the job. So do the majority of Iranians. It was the Iranian regime that was on its knees.
@satstackhustle Morality is simple. I love my family and friends. I don’t want bad things to happen to them. If enough of us agree about that, we make a social contract to catch and punish those who transgress. God was invented as a surveillance device for when the rest of us aren’t looking.
@DivinelyDesined Since you guys love analogies. A village has a 2 lane road feeding it. A 4 lane road if built. The town grows around it. Then 8 lane and a city comes to depend on it. Then you guys say “it could never have been a 2 lane road because the city would have choked”.
@DivinelyDesined In early life an inefficient version would still catalyze reactions. Let’s say the reaction proceeded without cyt-c and early versions ran at 1x. The earliest version of cyt-c raised this to 2x. Then 4X 19x 50x to give an idea. Each improvement would increase cell fitness ⬇️
@DivinelyDesined Now you evolution deniers look at a modern cell and say it wouldn’t work without modern cyt-c. Of course not. As complexity increased, other functions became increasingly reliant on cyt-c being above a certain level of efficiency. But early cells would. ⬇️
Cytochrome-C is a ubiquitous protein of around 104 amino acids. It is an enzyme. The actual enzyme functional surface is 4 base pairs and the rest of the chain can vary massively. It is estimated that 10^96 combinations could work. Essentially the rest of the sequence only serves to helpline up the 4 base sequence better. ⬇️
