       [quote]It makes you wonder: What else are we missing?[/quote]
       Too many people who blindly believe in the "unquestionable
       ethics" of modern scientifc inquiry and those highly educated
       researchers that engage in it, resulting in peer reviewed
       "wisdom" for the, uh, "good of humanity", ARE MISSING THIS!!!!

       Of course the "intelligence" leaders are concerned with "ATTACKS
       ON TRUST AND TRUTH". Those BASTARDS have so distorted the very
       concept of "TRUST" and "TRUTH" that anyone who is not hopelessly
       brainwashed from the time they killed their first frog in a
       biology lab in high school (you have to BELIEVE in Science or
       you fail...) cannot help but come to the conclusion that the
       "Might equals Right" SYSTEM championed by TPTB, along with their
       Holy Darwinian Scientific Priesthood [img

       /> that routinely engages, in the name of "science", in the
       methodical double blind, placebo controlled torture of small
       animals they euphemistically call "animal models", is TOTALLY
       CORRUPT. If a scientist with several years of university
       education (i.e. the patient and thorough [s]final
       brainwashing[/s] tutelage of tenured ivory tower elite profs
       there) under his highly respected belt DOES IT, it's not animal
       abuse, it's "scientific inquiry".

       EVIL BULLSHIT IS SOCIETY ALTRUISTIC VALUES DESTROYING EVIL
       BULLSHIT, no matter how many true believers in the "survival of
       the fittest" ethically BANKRUPT ideology want to dress that up
       as "justified in the name of science".

       There is a type of person FAR more dangerous to human society
       than a low IQ uneducated white supremacist racist
       pseudo-christian right winger; it's a high IQ peer reviewed
       biology research scientist that gullible people respect and
       admire.

       Torturing and killing animals in the name of science and
       torturing and killing humans for the same reason is
       ideologically consistent for a "sophisticated" true believer in
       Darwinian Evolutionary Theory. They will mock anyone out there,
       be it a lay person or a fellow scientist (no matter how
       credentialed), that dares to question the "scientifically
       accepted" DOGMA that all members of the species Homo sapiens are
       "highly evolved" primates, nothing more.

       EVERY SINGLE TIME some Darwinan true believer attacks a lay
       person that is criticizing research scientists by citing all the
       cruelty, baseless conjecture and "science" texbook legerdemain
       (used to brainwash high school students) that goes with, and
       results from, "scientific inquiry" with disdain and/or mockery
       in defense of that particular type of &#128520; "scientist",
       people of good will have a moral imperative to call BULLSHIT on
       them. Not doing so is immoral, reprehensible and hypocritical
       for anyone that claims to have ethics as their guidng principle.

       I'm quite sure I do not take your point. Perhaps I am slow.
       First of all, I don't understand what your extended rant/comment
       has to do with the article I posted. This is your page and you
       can rant wherever and whenever you want, but it seems a
       non-sequitur at best to me.
       Secondly, when you say, "There is a type of person FAR more
       dangerous to human society than a low IQ uneducated white
       supremacist racist pseudo-christian right winger; it's a high IQ
       peer reviewed biology research scientist that gullible people

       want you dead. While your pints as regards animal testing are
       well made, it is easy to dismiss scientific expertise with an
       airy, "my feelings are just as good as your hard-won knowledge."
       The war on expertise is real and waged every dat by the bum in
       the White House and his minions who, in the words of Steve

       The second argument you just made is right there with your
       routine election year shame and blame herding/demonization of
       anyone who votes their consciense in lieu of "the Democratic
       Party lesser evil". That legerdemain is as morally bankrupt as
       the one you use to pretend cruel experimentation on animals is
       "justified" because some God Damned "scientist" you honor and
       respect does it.
       Your pretense that my reaction to your concern troll article
       listing, among other subjects of police state interest, ATTACKS
       ON "TRUST AND TRUTH", is a "non sequiter" is telling. You really
       cannot wrap your "high IQ and educated = ethical" mind around
       the FACT that a government founded on "Might equals Right"
       ideology is, BECAUSE of its Unethical Darwinian ROOTS, a
       CONTINUOUS ATTACK on TRUST and TRUTH. What they are REALLY
       worried about is being exposed as ENEMIES of TRUTH, not worthy
       of ANY of we-the-people's TRUST because they LIE CONTINUOUSLY TO
       RETAIN POWER! Hence the virtue signalling disingenuous hand
       wringing about "attacks on trust and truth". You pretend you
       don't know what I'm getting my drawers in a bunch about. Well, I
       maintain that your article included a clever concern troll
       backdoor demonization of anyone with the temerity to criticize
       the "irrefutably science based social value" of Darwinain theory
       as applied, not just to "science", but "realpolitik" and other
       ethics free "practical going with the flow" areas that
       "sophisticated intellectuals" rationally embrace for the "good"
       of humanity. Maybe you think that taking Psalm 15
  HTML https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+15&version=KJV<br
       />to heart is "giving aid and succur to Fascists", but you will
       never convince me of that.
       YOU are the one giving aid and succur to the people that want
       people like ME dead, even if they may be quite happy keeping you
       alive for a while. You are a practical fellow, I'll give you
       that.
       Survival of the "fittest", RIGHT? Your definition of what is
       "ethical" and what is "unethical" is a cherry picker's
       paradise.[img

       />Take a bow. You are on the Pottery Barn Ethics Trashing Dream
       Team. Situational "ethics" are, of course, "justified" by
       Darwinian theory.
       Thanks for reminding me that this is my forum. I got YOUR
       MESSAGE loud and clear. THAT IS, you would have placed me under
       moderation or deleted my post if I had been so "ad hominem
       disrespectful" to you or your pals at the Doomstead Diner.
       You aren't slow, you are ideologically compromised (i.e. in an
       "Enlightened Voltairian" sort of way) by your embrace of the
       Darwinian Theory pseudo-scientific paradigm that you honestly
       believe is helping the human race. Therefore, you will never
       accept anything I say on this matter as credible, to the point
       of rushing to mock and disdain anything I say as that of an
       "ignoramus". My studied opinion that your feelings of
       intellectual and moral superiority are, not merely unjustified,
       but irrational in the extreme, impress you like water off a
       Darwinan duck.
       That explains, among other things, why you probably continue to
       believe that Eddie, the enthusiastic Darwin defending Dentist,
       despite his serial vitriol and inexcusable ad hominem directed
       at me and my "Trailer Trash Jesus" Christian world view, is a
       person of "respect and integrity". I get it, bro.
       According to a post you made years ago, you were, or still are,
       an elder in a Church that I assumed follows the teachings of
       Jesus Christ. You did say a long time ago that you believed in
       God. However, if I understand your world view correctly, your
       theism includes within it the requirement that said theism not
       interfere with "science". I know exactly what Jesus Christ would
       say about "animal models". I think you do too, but do not find
       the views of Jesus Christ relevant to "science". IOW, you do not
       give a [img

       />While it is true that the racist right wing pseudo-christian
       fundys slap the "I am a Christian" label on them, for you to
       pretend the teachings of Jesus Christ are not relevent, 24/7 to
       YOUR LIFE, is a fool's errand. If you want to pretend otherwise,
       you are fooling only yourself.
       If you don't like what I post, fine. I continue to assert that
       YOUR "cost benefit analysis" of this Darwinian "science" CRAP is
       morally BANKRUPT. Whether you want to face that now or not, you
       can COUNT on facing it within seconds after you leave this
       planet. If you think I am full of fundy [img

       />that is your prerogative. I'm not your boss, but God is THE
       Boss.
       However, please remember that I left The Doomstead Diner
       precisely because I grew tired of this type of back and forth.
       Let me make myself clear. Whether in the form of snark, mockery,
       sarcasm, concern troll condescension or arrogant, airy
       superiority through the fallacious debating technique of an
       appeal to authority, I don't want to read, in this forum, any
       more backdoor or front door attacks by you or anybody else on my
       view that Darwinian Theory is immoral, reprehensible,
       unscientific and socially destructive in the extreme. If you
       have judged me and found me lacking in reality based reason to
       the point that you want nothing to do with me or this tiny,
       insignificant forum, the door is in the same place it was when
       you came in. God Bless you, brother. You are free to go or stay
       anytime it suits your fancy. I will never put you in moderation
       or take your Admin status from you. I will die right here with
       you still as a fellow Admin, whether you post here or not. You
       can even downgrade me from Admin and put me on moderation if you
       like. I'll leave permanently if you do that, of course. If you
       don't listen to my request, I will have to start deleting any
       post that defends Darwinian bullshit, no matter how cleverly
       phrased. At that point you would get miffed and start deleting
       mine. That would be really problematic and counterproductive, so
       listen to reason and CUT THE SH!T. The following is a copy of a
       post you made in "Comic Relief" that I politely called bullshit
       on in my resposne. I do not want to see that type of post here
       any longer. I will not respond to that type of post again. I
       post here to educate, not to argue. But, I do not need this
       forum.

       />I don't know what that was all about, and I don't know who the
       guy on YouTube was or what, specifically, he criticized.
       However, I see nothing humerous about the appeal to authority
       fallacious debating technique displayed above. It is a rather
       obvious attempt to classify anyone criticizing a scientist as
       someone who does not understand any science and operates on whim
       and ignorance. IOW, the above is a thoroughly UNSCIENTIFIC cheap
       shot that has a germ of truth in it, only if you apply it to
       propagandist emotional button pushers for profit (e.g. Alex
       Jones). To apply it accross the board to everyone out there is
       an example of ivory tower arrogance in the extreme, as well as
       being factually incorrect, it being that when one of their own
       steps outside the NOMENKLATURA required "peer reviewed" Dogma,
       they get locked out of the club. Nobel Prize Winner Biochemist
       Kary Mullis, who invented the PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction to
       identify virus presence) technique, was ostracized for calling
       bullshit on some unscientific assumptions labelled as HIV
       "science". He was NOT allowed to publish papers afterwards, even
       though he was MORE QUALIFIED to write and publish scientific
       study papers than the peer reviewers locking him out. That is
       NOT an "isolated example".
       Calling bullshit on bad science is, according to the above cheap
       shot, unscientific and worthy of disdain IF YOU ARE NOT PART OF
       THE SCIENTIFIC NOMENKLATURA. Of course, who are we
       underedumacated lower life forms with zero peer reviewer
       credibility to question such loyal servants, the evolutionary
       apex of Homo sapiens, the pinnacle evolution, populating those
       hallowed halls of high wisdom and Darwinian certainty? [img

       />After all, from Darwin until now, it is quite clear how highly
       evolved the scientists, that have brought about all that
       wonderful technology that killed more people in a century than
       any century in human history and trashed enough of the planet to
       trigger the Sixth Mass Extinction, are.
