Video Evidence

No, videos are not inherently evidence nor do they contain evidence. Videos can present evidence but said evidence will have other sources, so to insist that the evidence is only in a video is the same thing as saying you have no evidence.

This is why we often refuse to acknowledge claims of evidence contained in a video without even bothering to watch said video, if evidence was presented in the video you could link it elsewhere. The best source for evidence is scientific papers, unlike the video these papers show their work and how they tested said evidence as well as the results of said test.

To make the evidence empirical, when these tests are repeated the results must be identical, there is no room for interpretation. If none of the tests produce the exact same results then it is not evidence.

The tests must always be exactly the same as well, any variation in the test invalidates that test and thus the results are meaningless. The results must be recorded as well, accurately and verifiably, so claims of said test producing such results are invalid without this verified record.

Videos can be evidence of events, but they must be actual recordings of said events and unaltered. The video must then be verified by several sources and it must be clear.

So no, we do not have to watch your religious videos to know that it's just a bunch of claims and double speak, if you had evidence you'd link a scientific paper when asked for it.

Are Humans Apes?

There is only one reason to deny that humans are apes, that reason is to remove the guilt of taking lives for no reason. In other words, it makes us nothing more than automatons incapable of compassion, love, or reason.

The psychological term is psychopath, not all psychopaths are violent but they are all incapable of feeling guilt. The most common behavior in psychopaths is indifference, the disconnect of not being animals allows them to ignore suffering in everyone, including their own species.

Animals have been culled by natural selection to care not only for their own, but for other species, sadly that includes humans. It is not uncommon for other animals to defend us when there is no instinctual drive to do otherwise.

The most well known cases involve domesticated species, though there are many examples of feral animals also coming to our aid, in spite of our habit of harming them for no valid reason. Our behavior stems from the disconnect we created by denying the obvious, we are a species of ape, mammals, animals, life.

Taxonomy classified us as apes centuries ago, one of those rare things we got right. The reason for the origin classification is our skeletal structure, later this was reinforced by our organs and brains, then confirmed by genetics.

To date, taxonomy has had about 20% of their classifications wrong, considering how long ago we started it that is a pretty good record. To deny we are apes today is the same as denying that roses are plants.

The lie of us not being apes spreads by the scam artists trying to say ape is a species, often saying "go to the zoo and see apes." But ape is a huge family, huge because we started burying our dead long before humans even existed.

A buried corpse has a higher chance of fossilization and takes a lot longer to decay. So we have well preserved skeletons of many ape species that are now extinct, and since 99% of all life on Earth has gone extinct since it's appearance, that's a pretty big portion of our lineage preserved.

Human lineage, down to the chimpanzee ancestor, is one of the most complete lineages, due to our desire in trying to prove the notion wrong. Ultimately, because of doubting the connection we actually proved it, a great example of how and why science works.

So to deny that we are apes is simply arrogance, the notion of being "special" or separate from the world. It is a dangerous lie that promotes psychotic behaviors and empowers abusers, killers, rapists, and other horrible people.

This is why we focus on those who deny science, we must protect our future and our sanity.

Compassion Is Atheist

Compassion is not a concept supported by religion in any way, because it demonstrates that right and wrong are subjective. This is a difficult concept to package, sell, and use to maintain control.

Control requires objective right and wrong, yet the believers prove that this is impossible. Take "thou shalt not kill" for example, we must kill for food, plus their own book commands killing in many places.

Some have reworded it to say "thou shalt not murder," but murder is a completely subjective law so it does not help their whole "objective truth" nonsense. But compassion goes one step beyond that.

What is beneficial to one person will not be beneficial to another, thus the notion of what's right changes based on the subject. This also challenges the adage of "treat others as you would want to be treated," ultimating making such a notion dangerous.

Let's take food for a perfect example, and very easy to empathize. A lot of people are allergic to peanuts, it's a very common allergy.

So people who are giving out sandwiches slathered in the stuff to homeless people will only effectively help about 80% of those they encounter. But peanuts are not the only allergy, some people are allergic to berries.

So then you toss on jelly and you reduce your number to about 75%, the more ingredients and the more objective you make the service the fewer the people you help. So compassion can only be subjective, to have compassion you must feel bad for those you cannot help instead of making excuses.

Religion requires that everything be objective, an impossibility on it's own, but compassion and, by proxy, right and wrong are not objective. This is the elephant in the room of religion.

Globe Earth is a Conspiracy!

Nothing is more idiotic than the conspiracy nut, nothing. Even the creationists show some semblance of intelligence, but the conspiracy nut is just too extreme to comprehend.

The most obviously idiotic conspiracy nut is the flat earther, a rare breed of moron who actually thinks the Earth is flat and that everyone is covering it up. When I say everyone I mean everyone ... except them, of course.

They think that somehow they saw through the lies everyone else tells them, which is that whole "we're special and you're all evil" nonsense religion brought us. The stuff they ignore and the mental backflips they are willing to perform to make their conspiracy work is amazing, what is more amazing is that they actually ignore facts.

The conspiracy nut will never listen to reason, logic, or facts, they made up their mind and refuse to even consider the possibility they are wrong. Often they claim "hours of research," yes, hours of research, makes them an expert on the subject. Never mind that most experts in any field spend at least a decade of study before they even begin their own research just so they don't look foolish.

One tactic they love to use is photos, wait, not photos but drawings. Then they claim every actual photo is cgi or staged.

To the mind of a conspiracy nut, everything that opposes their claims is made up by some dark and evil entity, faceless and purposeless. Ask them why and they always evade the question because there is no logical reason for these conspiracies.

If you ask them for proof they will never show it, because they don't think they need it. In their tiny little brains they think that their own claims are enough and to challenge them makes you part of this grand conspiracy against them.

For those who have the patience, never betray your credentials and you will get days of good laughs at their expense. The moment you admit to being an expert in something, they will vanish.

Antivaccine is Anti-life

Few things are as dangerous as anti-vaccination people, the things that come to mind are shark pools, rabid bears, piranha pools, and religion. Of course comparing anti-vaccine to religion is redundant.

The reason they are dangerous is because they feed on the ignorance bred by religion, that ignorance allows them to muddy the water with lies by making them sound scientific. There is nothing scientific about the studies they cite, it was the same idiotic correlation fallacy used to attack video games, and we destroyed that one too.

Other studies they use are actually opinion polls, which create peer pressure in the ignorant masses. But the most vile of their lies is that some doctor agrees with them.

The fact is, no licensed doctor agrees with anti-vaccination claims, none. Every reference they have used for a legitimate medical doctor opposes the anti-vaccination, like Dr. Poland who discovered what is known as vaccine shedding.

Vaccine shedding is actually enforces the need for mandatory vaccinations, herd immunity protects those who cannot be vaccinated. Few people even know what vaccines are, or what humans are, which is a serious problem.

First know this one basic, scientifically demonstrated, fact: everything is a chemical, even us humans. This means that everything about us is a series of pretty random chemical reactions influenced by the presence of DNA.

These simple, influenced but random, chemical reactions are in such large quantities as to resemble ordered and purposeful, but they are neither. Our ability to think is a side effect of randomness, not order.

This is why true AI is so elusive, but that's a different topic. Viruses are simple chemical reactions that act like monkey wrenches, they create imbalances, break apart important chemicals, and disrupt reaction chains.

The reaction chain disruption is what causes the symptoms, the imbalances cause the immune system response. Dead viruses can still cause these, but they do not reproduce, which allows the body to react in a controlled situation.

This means most people will feel symptoms, which is actually a good sign that the vaccine will work. If no symptoms are noticed then you cannot be absolutely certain your body was affected by the vaccine, you won't know if the antibodies are now present.

This results in the vaccine failing, though it is not the vaccine that actually failed, it was something like the dosage being too low or your body having antibodies for it already. You just hope that no one who has the actual virus comes near you, that is your only option at that point.

Vaccines can kill people, if you're allergic to one of the inactive ingredients. This is known as prophylactic shock, because the allergen is in your body you can't just shed it so you will need medical attention, but this is very rare and easy to catch as the reactions are almost immediate and there should be medical staff administering the vaccine anyway.

Most vaccines use the exact same inactive ingredients and preservatives, so if you have no allergy to one you can safely assume the others will be okay, but to be safe only allow medical staff to administer anything. This is important, do NOT allow anyone who is not trained to offer you any medication or even medical advice.

Yes, I did just tell you to ask your doctor, unless your doctor is some untrained quack on television. I know biochemistry, but I am not qualified to actually administer medication, doctors and scientists are not the same thing.

Most doctors know almost nothing about the scientific method, but they will be able to identify medical problems in an individual then administer proper treatment safely. Most scientists are not doctors, but we can tell you why the treatment worked or if you just experienced the placebo effect.

Anti-vaccine psychotics are incapable of being honest enough to tell you this. They will also not tell you that polio was once a serious problem, brought into obscurity by vaccines.

Whooping cough is another one that has made a comeback, I remember a time before the vaccine was in full use and we're seeing that in areas where anti-vaccine nuts live. The whooping cough epidemic is not as easy to stem, unlike polio, vaccination does not equal immunity.

Whopping cough can still be contracted, vaccines only reduce your chances. Reducing the chances of the entire population will affect the individual exponentially in all situations. Thus each unvaccinated person will increase everyone's chances of catching it by measurable amounts.

Polio, though it spreads slower, is no less a threat because of it's lower risk of contraction. Polio has devastating effects on those who contract it, life changing, life destroying, effects.

If your child catches polio they will never be a doctor, or live their own dreams. Vaccines were the only reason we, as a species, survived that illness, and anti-vaccine scum want that to return.

Yes, they actually want these illnesses to return, anti-vaccine movement is fueled and funded by the homeopathic and herbal medicine industries. These two industries cannot make money when real medicine makes people healthy, they cannot make money when people are not scared of everything else.

Homeopathy and herbal garbage have been so ineffective that even the dealers won't use it. But these same dealers are the ones convincing idiots that vaccines cause genetic disorders after the organism has been born.

Gods and Devils: The Fake Illness

Snake oil salesmen have these lists of questions that they think are "gotcha" questions, meaning they think these questions actually prove anything. They ask them then at the end claim that your answers mean you have some ailment for which they have no evidence.

This us how snake oil works, it distracts you from the facts so they can attempt to persuade you into buying their claims, but this tactic is failing today. The reason it is failing is quite simple, we now have it all in text and can go back to see what they did to change the topic.

This prepares us for keeling our rationality even in verbal communications. Ultimately, they don't even care about the well being of anyone, they just want you to believe their claims without question.

The method is a form of control, it keeps them in control of the conversation, or it allows them to think they're in control. The reality is that they truly have no evidence to support their claims and they know it.

Then they claim that all these answers which they claim are bad were caused by an illness they claim exists, fun fact, it's all just claims. So have fun with this, they know they lost.

Answer the questions, and be honest for some extra fun, then at the end mention that according to Ra followers, these are considered good qualities and Ra forbid the other gods from interfering with them.

Or mention that Scientology says that these are caused by etons, asking how they can prove they are not. Another is that dark elves are causing them, according to the early pagans.

Another personal favorite is that these negative things are caused by gremlins that infest machines like computers to pester humanity. Or that djinn cause them, or that these are just pranks by faeries and you need to hire a witch to be rid of them.

These are all identical claims, all of equal validity, and none are scientific or proven, just like the christian claims of demons.

Climate Change and the Scam

Global warming was once called global cooling, but not by scientists. That is the problem with this topic, too much mud in the water.

When our impact on the climate was first noticed, before any testing had even been done, Republicans came up with a brilliant marketing scam. Using the natural cooling trend, they cried about an impending ice age, saying that we needed to increase taxes and give the money to their companies.

People fell for the scare tactic, money flowed from the hard working individual into the pockets of the Republican funders. But then the cooling trend ended, not as predicted but as expected.

You see, the trend was predicted to end, but the time it ended was wrong based on historical projections. Not only that, there were obvious spikes at unpredictable points along the trend, nature usually only has a few such random events, not for the entire duration of a hundred or more years.

These seemingly random spikes, both up and down, in the global temperatures are what climatologists have been worried about, they coincide with our use of fossil fuels. Now the scientists are trying to find the actual cause, just saying it is fossil fuel use is simply not an answer.

The reason it is not an answer is because it does not offer an actual cause, so climatologists worked endlessly on this puzzle, in the mean time the politics of the issue went in a very unscientific direction. Republicans gave up milking the scare they created, and Democrats jumped on that bandwagon.

The scams were still there, they just got support from different people, and soon the actual science behind climate change was completely forgotten by the public. Mainstream media was not going to report on the boring science, they are only in the business of selling stories and often go so far as to make up news just for that reason.

So the public fell into a frenzy of who's scam was legal and which resource is best. Then all of a sudden we hear of a new alternative, labeled "green energy," these other methods of harnessing energy from the universe had not significant impact on the environment, but, they also had no way to be limited.

Oil, nuclear, and coal can have their supplies regulated by those who own them, meaning the ones who deliver it can set the price that the next step in it's process pays. The end result is hyper inflation, huge profits, and a system stacked against the consumer.

The new alternatives rely on resources that need no special methods of extraction, no multi-step processing, no steady manipulation of the costs. Most new sources, you buy the equipment about once every decade and you're good to go.

The end result is panic from those in charge, they remember that they lost control of information when we developed the internet and let people have it for free, they fear the same with energy. So they keep the waters muddy on climate change to keep people from focusing on the serious benefits of cleaning up our energy consumption.

Clean air, water, land, food, and all we have to do is take control of our energy from the government.
