With my daily cappuccino, I read an interesting science article, although I've just noticed it is 2 years old. In it, the scientists claim age reversal in mice. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2016/dec/15/ageing-process-may-be-reversible-scientists-claim Is this proof of concept? Can we...

He seems to be everywhere lately. Shot to prominence (and notoriety for some people) during his dispute with the Canadian government regarding trannie issues.

I was assuming it was from somewhere else for some reason. Pleased the Mind Tavern is giving some value add!

Note to Bee: I did say, "On average." ;)

That sounds rather fascinating, Uncle. You have an interesting way of describing the experience. I am pleased you are getting something from Jordon Peterson. I like his ideas too. Where did you first hear about him?

Pop along whenever you feel like it. You are always welcome, Ann.

Nice video summarising key points from the book, from my favourite guru, Brian Johnson.

Uncle, it seems like you are ploughing through a lot of his stuff right now!

I would like to rephrase that statement into this: Now the problem for Women in Business is that they need to learn to play a type of game that is effective in business. If that means having male traits, then it is less about being male than having traits that are effective for that scenario...

Uncle, I have watched a ton of Jordan Person's stuff. He is a very smart and interesting guy, who's ideas seem to spark controversy. To me, much 'controversy' is really only when one side doesn't like the viewpoints of another. He has thought through much of the stuff he debates, while any of...

What about something like climate change? The trigger word for me was "settled", and hence it brought this topic to mind. Most climate change alarmists claim that the "science is settled." The skeptics dispute this. So there is no agreement on whether or not the science is "settled" between the...

Let me provide a counter-opinion from the BBC regarding disgust: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3396851.stm For most of these things, I believe that both nature and nurture are at play, although I tilt towards nature being the stronger influencer in this area. Doc, I agree that the male...

The definition of 'homophobe' includes the term irrational. Who decides if something is irrational or not? Is that not like the argument for hate speech? Who is the authority who decides what is hate or not? I agree, my argument hinges on the genetic argument. But there is plenty of research...

I love a bit of leftie mumbo jumbo! :LOL::LOL:

Yes, if you criticise me because of a response I have to the snoggers, you are tantamount to being racist! That was my whole point. If you don't think some things are automatic, try to overcome the blink reflex! (I made progress on this while trying to get used to contact lenses, but it was damn...

Yes, but is it analogous to calling someone a bigot, when in fact that action itself makes you a bigot? Saying someone is controversial is really just saying you disagree with them, is it not?

Ah no, that is completely NOT what I was saying. Let me clarify and apologies for my confusing English. I was suggesting this: 1. Assume for argument that I have a gene that makes me repulsed by seeing two guys snog. 2. Assume that people's skin colour is based on certain genes. 3. Neither #1...

I have an issue with the term controversial! If someone suggests you are controversial, are they really just being controversial themselves? I mean you have your view, they have theirs? Is your view only controversial if it is a minority view, like Darwinism and gay marriage once was? Or can you...

Just so I understand, are you saying that if your genes have programmed you to being gay, you don't have a choice? And, consequently, you should not be repulsed?

Bee, I added considerably to my post but yours came before I finished so, its worth having a re-read. I don't care at all what people get up to in bed. That is a different argument to being exposed to viewing something you find repulsive. They even give warnings on movies now about gun...
