GUEST POST: Why Postmodernism Is Incompatible with a Politics of Liberty
Peter Cresswell, Not PC - 6 hours ago
*It's sometimes argued that postmodern philosophy should underpin liberty, rather than challenge it.

The Human Brain: Where And When It Evolved

Though modern humans and our closest evolutionary relatives, the great apes, shared a common ancestor millions of years ago, most similarities stop there. We live on the ground, walk on two legs and have much larger brains. That doesn't mean the larger brains evolved first. The first populations of the genus Homo emerged in Africa about 2.5 million years ago and though they already walked upright, their brains were only about half the size of today's humans. These earliest Homo populations in Africa had primitive ape-like brains - just like their extinct ancestors, the australopi...

"The Ironic, The Tragic Thing..."
CoyotePrime, Running 'Cause I Can't Fly 2 - 8 hours ago
“One can fight evil but against stupidity one is helpless… I have accepted the fact, hard as it may be, that human beings are inclined to behave in ways that would make animals blush. The ironic, the tragic thing is that we often behave in ignoble fashion from what we consider the highest motives. The animal makes no excuse for killing his prey; the human animal, on the other hand, can invoke God’s blessing when massacring his fellow men. He forgets that God is not on his side but *at *his side.” “There is no salvation in becoming adapted to a world which is crazy.” - Henry Miller
