Bottom line is.
The organism needs to be pregnant.
Though the thinking brain has been taught to think differently.
Sort of a conflict of bodily processes.

One gets up in the morning, and between then and bedtime in order to survive, one does stuff.
Now...If there were 8.2 billionaires, who are you going to get to do what?

Everyone of breeding age wants it.
Flaunting oneself is basically saying, I am fecund.
Though of course, as an intellectually evolved species we tend to dress such behaviour up with other ideas.

Everything one says may or may not be stupid, relative to context, expectation, and the purpose or not of a developing material system.
Converting acquired data sequences into a representative sound, is what it is.
Acquiring incoming sound signals and converting them into understandable data is also what it is.
Within a broader universal context, the veracity of all such data can only be speculative...Unless you actually know something that I don't.

People fake illness for a variety of reasons, and the use of props like walking aids and neck collars is popular.
I'm guessing that she didn't have a bad leg at all.
Just waited for the right moment to become the centre of attention and recover miraculously.

Deception, suggestion and preconditioning.
I work in the healthcare industry, and faked illness is common.
Even Doctors are easily duped.
And if someone wants to believe in miracles, it wouldn't be difficult to dupe them.
Fatima, Lourdes, Knock.
All big business.
And plenty of fools ready to part with their money.

If something really does happen then it is not a miracle.
Is a self explanatory statement.
If someone genuinely had an injured leg, and recovered successfully from that injury, then it wasn't a miracle.
Seemingly fit people, often die suddenly... Is this also a miracle?
Nope, the type of miraculous event you refer to, usually comes with a weighted agenda, that necessitates deception and requires a preconditioned gullible audience.

Russia is spoiling for another fight.
Well, most Russians probably want a quiet life.
But they will do as they are told.
For now.
Russia tends to cycle from dictatorship to revolution to dictatorship.

So the story typically goes.
But the "Nazis" and the "Soviets" were a few selfish tyrants.
And the millions of gullible sycophants who died fighting on their behalf, were just a consequence of human stupidity.
That's how it usually works.

Yep, all the best to you and yours over this winter festival period Stephen.
Mrs Zed and I, are up in the Evesham area for the rest of the week.
Good food and walking, not too much alcohol.
Quality time with daughters et al.

Hey Stephen.
Trading braincells for cash is lucrative whilst it lasts.
Good, if you've got 7 kids and need a bigger van.
And he'll always have the scrap metal to fall back on.
And good if you're trying to avoid the freezing front line.

Sex and violence are relative.
Which might suggest that the de-sexualization of the species, would benefit the rate of human universal progress.
Energy that goes into endocrine management, would perhaps be better utilized in data gathering, processing and development.

I take part in certain aspects of the winter solstice based festival celebrations.
Religion forms no part of it.
Though it is reckoned, that if the Jesus character of bible myth actually existed, he was probably born about 2030 years ago in the month of September.
So more of an equinox baby, rather than a solstice one.

Showering benefits shampoo and shower gel retailers and manufacturers.
And I think that sniffing peoples armpits and arses, is no longer a preferred means of communication anyway.

I work in the medical industry.
And one generally finds that obsessive people who over-medicate tend to create more problems than they cure.
The guy is a wealthy bullshitter who will undoubtedly captivate a sycophantic audience.
And eventually die.

Does gene therapy have a future?
Good question.
Big question with many alternatives.
I'm guessing all based around intellectual and material evolution.
Which in itself is a big question abounding with hypotheticals.

I used to have a profile, but it disappeared for some reason.
Never bothered to renew it.
Gender is one of only two real genders. ( Very rare developmental anomalies may occur).
Namely, sperm producing gender.
Everything else is sexual fantasy.

No necessary reason why life elsewhere should be any more or less technologically advanced than life on Earth.
And Fermi paradox is a bit of banter that doesn't achieve very much.
In another galaxy they perhaps whistle and gurgle a lot, whilst pursuing their rocket programmes.
Nonetheless, hampered by petty religious and nationalistic feuding.
And something akin to Brian Cox probably whispers sweet nothings to an adoring audience.

Really?
It seems to me, that in a vain attempt to hide, you are making a vain attempt to draw attention to yourself.

So will fly.

If they never fly.

And shoot a few down.
