| schestowitz | "This (the rise of right-wing nationalism, aka fascism) is something we have seen before, always driven by extreme inequality in society.

| schestowitz | "@David Lazarus I support Sea Shepherd, but I'm also well aware of ocean warming, pollution, ocean acidification, dead zones etc, and yes, seismic exploration. As for ET's, it's just a modern day belief system based on scientism. There's no evidence for them. there are only beliefs of evidence. As for "my" spirituality: All Life on Earth is one It's not a cute philosophy, it is a fact demonstrated by genetics which connects us to every | May 16 17:57 |
| schestowitz | other living thing on Earth. Do you know your body has more bacteria than it has cells? That rice has a much larger genome than humans? Which is true for lots of species. How come? simply because it's a much older species that evolved on Earth for much longer than humans and apes did. Humans have very little genetic variety because we we became almost extinct when a supervolcano exploded about 70 000 years ago and only a few thousands | May 16 17:57 |
| schestowitz | of us, maybe even less, survived." | May 16 17:57 |
| schestowitz | "@Boris B - Is that your thoughts on them or just echoing what is said in the article? Honestly, I think it was just some anonymous wealthy person putting them there because he could." | May 16 17:58 |
| schestowitz | "@A. Randomjack - I agree regarding the population. Earth is not overpopulated by humans. We just need to be more responsible caretakers. As far as beliefs, I'm not religious. Never have been. However, I've been on a spiritual journey for my entire adult life. Also, I definitely believe in ETs. We are the newbies on the planet. And, yes, what we are doing to marine life, and not just by fishing, is absolutely criminal. I have signed | May 16 17:58 |
| schestowitz | many petitions and written my representatives about that. I even wrote the leadership in New Zealand regarding seismic blasting. They responded positively to the issue thanks to me and many other people contacting them." | May 16 17:58 |
| schestowitz | "@David Lazarus When it comes to religious texts and interpretations, I listen to people like AronRa. He has a YouTube channel. He describes what that worth means: breath, no more. Hence your soul leaves you at your last breath according to religious texts. Breath is that invisible immaterial thing ancients believed was the soul. All the scientific evidence points to mankind being just another species and I will humbly stick to that. I | May 16 17:59 |
| schestowitz | wasted too much life time, and breath, with irrational impossible beliefs like aliens and mysterious ancient. To sum it up, I think we are the only self defined as intelligent species in this galaxy, and possibly in the whole (observable) universe. Yes, I do know the Drake equation and all that, but Evolution of complex life (organisms) is quite likely an extremely rare and most improbable occurrence in the Cosmos. Most solar systems | May 16 17:59 |
| schestowitz | are very unlike our own, giant planets occupying the closest orbits. (I know a good documentary on that topic and some lectures too) As for the ideal number of humans on Earth. that is a useless debate. I just finished "Inferno" (audio book version)by Dan Brown, which is about overpopulation. I will just say this 10% of the global population is responsible for 50% of greenhouse gases 50% of the global population is responsible for 10% | May 16 17:59 |
| schestowitz | of them The problem is not really about the number of humans, it's about the consumption of resources. 500 million humans could also destroy the biosphere depending on how they live. We did not begin to extinguish species in 2000, we've been doing it for centuries. Who knows what unique species lived on Easter island for example. How many on Mauritius? In the seas, rivers and oceans? Commercial fishing will not be economically viable by | May 16 17:59 |
| schestowitz | 2048, and that's from overfishing alone. This fishing season, since march I think, 1000 dead dolphins have been found on the Atlantic coast of France. Most have died from being caught in nets and thrown back to sea. Their wounds confirm that's why they died, Sea Shepherd has reports on that but we won't see that on mass medias, it might hurt the industry, the economy, relations, etc. Meanwhile, our house is on fire..." | May 16 17:59 |
| schestowitz | "Conspiracy theorists and fundamentalists believe them to be the work of Satanists or the New World Order, – fueled particularly by certain commandments such as “Guide reproduction wisely – improving fitness and diversity” which can be ominously interpreted. "ominously interpreted" I find a disagreeable euphemism, for "which clearly puts Darwin before Moses"... I think it's Satan hiding in the euphemism, because why couldn't | May 16 17:59 |

| schestowitz | "@A. Randomjack @richard_healy@pluspora.com - Personally, I think it all stems from Enlil's desire to wipe out the human race. Per the Sumerian texts, his half brother Enki created (read genetically engineered) humans. Long story short, Enki wanted humans to be like them. In other words, live for thousands of years and possess great knowledge. Enlil didn't like that idea at all and wanted to wipe us out. Enki saved us, but at a price. | May 16 18:00 |
| schestowitz | His name has been forever tarnished. Enki was the serpent in Eden. I truly believe that it was Enlil who Moses met on Mount Sinai. His description fits. He was both the storm god and self-proclaimed jealous, vengeful god. For those who might not know, Enki is referred to as Adonai in the Old Testament and Enlil is referred as Yahweh. I think that is the real reason why Jews are not supposed to say that name aloud. They've just forgotten | May 16 18:00 |
| schestowitz | and made up another reason somewhere down the line. Enlil is also known as Zeus, Jehovah, Seth and Allah among other names. Enki is known as Poseidon, Neptune and Ptah. I could go into a lot more, but I'll stop for now. As for plutocracy, oligarchy, etc, Capitalists by any other name are still Capitalists. A completely free/unregulated market would be much worse." | May 16 18:00 |
