I was born a small badger cub. I was raised by a kindly family of half-rabbit people. In their warren, I learned how important lip balm is. 15 years; same.
There’s something very important missing in the search for the origin of life. Conscious feelings. Behavior is based on reward which is basically good feelings. Could pleasureable feelings have driven these primitive molecules to organize and behave purposefully to survive and reproduce?
Oh but wait. Neuroscience and AI are clueless about consciousness. They nonetheless claim it emerges from complex computation among zillions of simple cartoon neurons. But there’s no evidence or way to test that. So how do we know conscious feelings weren’t present at the origin of life? Or before?
The only theory with evidence (that anesthesia acts by quantum effects in microtubules) the Penrose-Hameroff
Orch OR theory attributes Consciousness to quantum state ‘objective reductions’ tied to quantum gravity and spacetime geometry. This OR was proposed by Nobel laureate Sir Roger Penrose in 1989 and could have occurred among benzene or dopamine- like molecules leading to pleasure which became optimized for. Life began.

@DangerMindsBlog Math/science are a bloody history of political subjectivity. NOT objective inevitability... Reimann DISTORTED. Einstein rendered a blur.. Leibnitz/Newton? Orch OR sidelined?
evidence of lizard people slightly less plausible. Aliens? Nearly equal. Pity gallileo and US.
@RepTimmons With due respect, the Articles are about breaking the law and violating the Constitution, not policy disagreements.
For instance, Article III clearly describes how he is in violation of the law requiring congressional approval for a conflict that lasts more than 60 days.
It’s been 51 years since the Edmund Fitzgerald sank into Lake Superior. Today, we honor the 29 brave souls we lost on that tragic day. May their memory live on.
🚨HOLY SHIT: Donald Trump completely fucked Pete Hegseth.
As Attorney Joe Gallina explains, Trump accidentally triggered the Uniform Code of Military Justice by calling the bombing of Caribbean fishing boats a “legal war” - exposing Hegseth and Admiral Bradley to:
• Art. 118 – Murder (killing defenseless survivors) • Art. 119 – Manslaughter • Art. 92 – Unlawful orders / dereliction of duty • Art. 128 – Assault with a deadly weapon • Art. 133 – Conduct unbecoming an officer • Art. 134 – War crimes under LOAC
One thing is certain.
Now that Democrats will be taking over Congress, Pete Hegseth is screwed.
@MattWalshBlog Just 100 kinds of nope, Matt. Floyd is you and me. Your drug-addled drunken judgements implicate all of us. Character assassination doesn't mean a death sentence. Unless we all get one. Boring, outdated view, Matt.
JUST IN: An anonymous art collective has unveiled a BRUTAL Veterans Day tribute to Donald Trump on the National Mall.
The statue depicts Trump rubbing his aching foot, mocking the bone spurs diagnosis that helped him avoid the Vietnam War draft in 1968.
