  2. This episode was piggy backed on Tuesday’s and released at the same time - mostly an RSS crowd so far.

  5. Organic Peanuts?

    Organic Peanuts? Are there inorganic peanuts?

    True, but it took a mountain climber we could trust to use the scientific method before we were likely to change our world view.
    (for mountain climber read satellite measurement)
    Science is always evolving, it sometimes has to completely rewrite chunks, but this is usually additive.Einstein did not invalidate Newton, he expanded on his work with a little 0 next to the m(rest mass).
    Evolution is something we see everywhere, it is even how ideas change.Evolution evolves too, It is how god thinks

    and metabolism in what to do with energy. Possess the ability to simply lower the degree of entropy. Which enables generation, or growth. Never the less, entropy eventually always prevails. Since all living organisms die. The occurrence of spontaneous generation is implausible since the required energy processing mechanism and its directing program, would not be present. Simply the existence of a non isolated system, having energy introduced, achieves nothing generative.

    (Emergence is more than a phase transition such as crystallization) I’m well aware of that spontaneous generation would require much more than the process of mere crystallization. Its why I didn’t say crystals are proof of it. I didn’t speak of entropy either, but only the behavior of bio chemistry. Entropy bears upon all things. Plants, with their mechanism of photosynthesis and the rest of us with our mechanism of metabolism. In combination with a program(info) required to direct photo.

    Chuichupachichi, There was a time when religion was the height of reason.
    Law protected and applied even to kings under one just god. The bronze age & feudalism were horrific and violent.
    People came together in shared identity and beliefs for protection. shared = reason.
    Today we are all divided again by religion, race and money.
    Science is a way we can combine all our differences into a singularity, Not faith but investigation, people sharing good standards of knowledge and truth = reason

    In a deep sea volcano the huge volumes of chemical energy released is cooling and going through a temperature gradient, constantly producing new chemistry. These are the kinds of places where we find extraordinary complexity not only in the reactions, but also in the geometry of the interactions, fractal forms and distributions drawn out into intricate energetic forms between hot and cold
    The first form of life might have been simpler than viri, more like a semi stable self replicating molecule

    I don’t know who told you that crystallization was like emergence Chuichupachichi, It may indeed play a part but, For emergence there needs to be a gradient. a system which is fed and/or loses energy.
    At one end you might have crystals forming, at the other; liquid or evaporation. Emergence is the complex self organization which occurs in the gap from little steps; like the laws of nature being stretched out.
    Emergence is not a block of ice, it is a snow flake.

    The clown is ATTEMPTING 2 exploit ‘false cause’ (non sequitir) with the silly christbait peanut butter oversimplification he ASSUMES is false, but ironically yes, if U apply moderate energy 2 peanut butter, after a few billion years U probably WILL get life. It’s just chemistry! :)

    Check out the ‘abiogenesis’ vid in my faves list. The whole universe operates much the same way in galaxy formation & recycling. C the other vid in my faves 4 that.

    Hey it would B really cool if someone - maybe a professional logic teacher who knows all the different prep calc stuff & bla bla could post some vids filtering news reports - like a scrolling marquee across the bottom defining the fallacies used by each person in an interview process, etc - maybe, 1 bar 4 the subject, & another 4 the interviewer - so as 2 more easily track their lies. U know, like a ’stock ticker of truth’ HAHA =D

    Unintentional entomophagy Since it is impossible to entirely eliminate pest insects from the human food chain, insects are present in many foods, especially grains. Food laws in many countries do not prohibit insect parts in food, but rather, they limit the quantity. People in rice eating regions, for example, typically ingest significant numbers of rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae) larvae, and this has been suggested as an important source of vitamins.

    Every Youtuber should be FORCED to watch this.

    The sheer volume of logical fallacies that pervade youtube could drown a fish.

    That’s what is so attractive about her. Most people like celebrities just because of their looks and nothing else. Even if they are dumb, that person will defend them. Smart women are extremely sexy.

    I prefer to use lateral thinking over logical reasoning*

    Non Sequitur: Trying to support a proposition on the basis of irrelevant premises.

    Knew someone who used to do that all the time, drove me nuts.

    Hope I can remember a lot of this for later when I find people like that ^_^
