Ancient people relied on coastal environments to survive the Last Glacial Maximum
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
It has been clear to me that the first phase of human cultural evolution ( 45,000 BP through 10,000 BP ) took place alongside the marine environment for multiple reasons. Not least the availability of ample food tresources in the form of shell fish. The best possible proof of this comes from the Pacific Northwest. The mountains were proof of interference by external tribes for over ten thousand years. That is exactly what every coast line looked like until the invention of agriculture itself. That the Northwest produced huge communities is actually impressive but again a me...
LAO TZU’S 2500 year old message to the people of the future
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
It is remarkable that he even then addressed the dialectic between intellectual knowing and spiritual knowing and warned against its separation. yet it is our nature to seek the dialectic and to engage one side. The foundation of human wisdom is understanding this as error, but also identifing the true dialectic. Socialism versus Capitalism are both intellectual constructs and not a true dialectic but derived from the same mother. Thus the actual inability to properly separate them in practise. Rational constructs infrorm the practical in life. Spiritual constructs inform re...
This Pandemic Must Be Seen
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Essentially one person out of twenty will be killed by this disease. We do not realy know what limits its effectiveness except the alr5eady sick and dying are taken easily. The institutional reaction has been extreme. Yet we need to allow the disease to run through the population in order to produce general immunity. That is provided we can save those badly infected. Yet it is a corona virus which mutates continously becoming weaker. With rising cases, this may well be happenig now. Trouble is that our test protocols fail to produce hard numbers that are trustworthy. In ...
The Great Russian Collusion Hoax Of November 1963
TheDarkMan, The Duran - 21 hours ago
After four years of Russian collusion rubbish – now acknowledged but not widely known to be the product of Hillary Clinton’s sick mind – it is perhaps easy to forget there was once an equally outrageous but far more plausible such hoax. On November 22, 1963, the President of the United States was murdered in […]

Naval Mines Are Getting a 21st-Century Upgrade

These future torpedo-mines are likely to be more time-intensive to detect and neutralize. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Naval mines are one of the oldest weapons in the world. They're cheap to make, easy to deploy, can be difficult to catch, and are very destructive when they go off.

*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Middle East* Simple and effective, the broomlike RPG-7 became one of the most effective antitank weapons of the postwar period. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Soviet experiences in World War II made effective antitank weapons an imperative at all levels, all the way down to the infantry squad. While many of the Soviet Union’s and later Russia’s weapons were a generation behind their Western counterparts, that was certainly not the case in handheld antitank weapons. One of the most iconic weapons of war ever made arose from Soviet experiences in Wo...

On the Navya-Nyaya Theory of Language
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 1 day ago
The Navya-Nyaya school holds that spoken language is the primary language since it’s logically prior to written language. The language of gestures precedes spoken language—it’s something that the humans have learned from the animals which use bodily signs to communicate with each other without creating any sound. Written language is of critical importance because it enables people to create long sentences, express complicated ideas, and gain better understanding of the meaning of the spoken words, but, like the language of gestures in case of human beings, it exists parasitically on ...
