Why would an individuals fertility be increased because the fertility of his group is increased? The gene would not propagate unless he has more children than his peers. There is no evidence of evolution by natural selection to begin with, though.

The notre dame belongs to a traditional institution. It should be reconstructed exactly the same as before, not by the modern aesthetics of people who don't even attend church.

Next: a protest to protest the retaliation for the protest against retaliation

You should re enable it. Amber alerts are when a kid has been kidnapped and is probably going to raped or killed. You should do your part to watch for the perpetrator.

I have yet to be told why it is important for there to be as many women in STEM as men apart from statements that I'm sexist for not knowing

I wonder what the lowest limit on work-time is for productivity. That would be interesting to know. Also, companies could only pay people for that many hours.

It's social engineering

I would bet the reason it was mentioned was to make China sound technologically advanced. Similar to when they spread the lie about being a leader in green technology around when the Olympics were hosted there. They established faux solar panels on street lights and then took them back down 2 years later. There's no reason to believe China about that detail or anything really.

That's creepy to associate young people's blood plasma with nectar of the gods.

The funny part of it to me is the cognitive dissonance of people who both believe that a change of less than 1 degree in global mean temperature over a century will destroy the Earth, but also that we'll be terraforming Mars by then.

stalin was worse than hitler. caused much more death and misery.

i think by globalism he means that free trade brings with it the free movement of labor across countries

>what type of alternate reality could exist where foreigners would be polite enough to not, like, turn a wrench or run an assembly line for cheaper than Americans did in the 50s. We as a country don't have the option of 'choosing' an alternate economic reality where developing country wages aren't cheaper than ours

the illusion of non-choice on this issue began when bill buckley reformed the right wing into free-traders. we could vote to not let foreigners in to our country and to establish high tariffs on foreign goods. we choose not to. not saying whether that's right or wrong. just saying it is a choice.

the US constitution only applies to US persons. someone living in china doesn't actually have freedom of speech protected by our constitution.
