Apparently "the judgement and analysis" of the vast majority of humans to ever live is "fundamentally and irreversibly broken"
Sorry, if you look at a newborn infant and don’t instantly recognize it as a “person,” I’m not interested in what your opinions of consciousness and “personhood” are. Your judgement and analysis are fundamentally (and likely irreversibly) broken.

People will look on the years of the early 21st century--when we had modern genetic science but still gave birth to people with non-modified intelligences, let alone people with down syndrome -- as years captured by superstition as aggressive as during the time of Galileo
BREAKING: Japanese scientists used CRISPR to remove the extra chromosome causing Down syndrome in lab cells

A norm of "crying it out" while weening is an expected result of the mother/offspring fitness conflict. A norm of "crying it out" during the night exists NOWHERE up until less than 100 years ago

Nobody argues that the Church is uniquely responsible for mass migration, only that it is by far the single most prolific trafficker of migrants and most successful lobby for migrants since it has ever been a problem (they claim both proudly). But it is incorrect to insinuate that the Church and its network is merely caring for those who show up. Beyond its extensive lobbying for the maximum number of immigrants for nearly a century, we can also note the following: —Justice for Migrants, an advocacy group established by and for the USCCB, declared for its 2025 World Day of Migrants, during its Migration Week, upon the issuing of Prevost's Jubilee and Homily to Migrants "Pilgrims of Hope", that "as Catholics, we are called by Jesus to accompany migrants at all stages of their journey, from their point of origin, through transit, and to their final destination". If a migrant decides he wants to live in America, the Church believes, and teaches, that Catholics are immediately compelled to assist him in doing so. —The institutional network of the Church's migrant programs are set up precisely with this in mind. Caritas, ran out of the Palazzo San Callisto in the Vatican, establishes branch offices across the world and instructs each to communicate with one another and between their host nations to achieve this mission. Caritas North America is comprised of 3 organizations, and 2 are the most prolific migrant aid/advocacy orgs in the world: Catholic Charities, and Catholic Relief Services. —Biden years were happy years for the Church in these efforts. A 2022 FOIA request from Judicial Watch and CatholicVote (of the “trad catholic terrorism FBI manifesto” lawsuit fame), which to date has illegally gone unanswered, points to several anecdotal bits of evidence on how this operation works. It cites an interview with Sister Norma Pimentel of Rio Grande Catholic Charities in which she admits to purchasing plane tickets for undocumented migrants. In another instance, an undocumented family staying in a Dallas hotel told Border Patrol agents that CC Rio Grande was paying for their room, along with *every other room* in that hotel for the purpose of sheltering migrants. Remember Chicago's airports packed with migrants on cots? Catholic Charities was found flying migrants to Chicago and housing them in the airport. In a 1 year span, CC sent over 20,000 illegals on 4,000 unique flights to Chicago. —Speaking of "making it harder to deport illegals", we should mention CLINIC, established by the Church to carry out its mission in the art of lawfare. It boasts the following: taxpayer-subsidied legal representation for over 500k immigrants annually, representation for illegals in detention and removal, a decade of lawfare against Trump's TPS terminations, and legal victories for migrants against us in JOP v DHS, Seattle v DHS, Sebastiao v Barr, and others. The notion that the Church is some humble food kitchen needs to die. It is the single most impactful trafficker of migrants in human history and proudly tells us so. When we try to stop them, they tell us of their disapproval. The days of excusing the Church's heavy hand in one of the most destructive events of modern history are over. Accountability will come for them whether you like it or not.
This was from 2024 before Pope Leo was sworn in. I’ve repeatedly criticized the USCCB. This funding came from government grants and thankfully after federal cuts to refugee programs the USCCB's MRS laid off 50+ workers and cut programs. The MRS program did not manage Illegal border crossings it handled placement and employment for “legal migrants” which is just as bad but did not pride legal protections for them unlike every other group receiving these grants. Why don’t you people ever examine policy groups like: CASA UnidosUS RAICES Texas CHIRLA (Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights) Make the Road New York Immigrant Defenders Law Center American Immigration Council National Immigration Law Center (NILC) Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC) National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC) Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project (ASAP) These groups genuinely help facilitate illegal immigration and legal advocacy making it harder to carry out deportations. They are led by Hispanics, Arabs, and Jews.

At moment X is not a free speech site. I don’t think Elon is aware: I think he outsourced it to bad people like Nikita Bier who are betraying the free speech mission. I’ll try show briefly in thread that content bannings and suppression on here is very severe @elonmusk
They just want to suppress free speech

Chagnon was an amazing scientist with the heart of an adventurer and was slandered his whole life due to the feelings of jealousy and inferiority he evoked in the average academic or missionary. Apparently some otherwise smart people still believe the slander today!
And if you don’t read the book, at least watch the 2010 documentary, Secrets of the Tribe, about the Yanomami controversy. I remember watching this while I was studying anthropology at Cambridge. Chagnon’s suggestion that human nature might be Hobbesian rather than Rousseauian caused such outcry within the discipline that his critics found a way to accuse him of genocide during his research in the Amazon. He is, as far as I know, the only anthropologist ever to be accused of genocide. I think Chagnon may very well have fabricated some of his data—especially his data on Yanomami protein-consumption—but even so he was a modern-day Galileo, subject to torture and inquisition simply on the basis of his ideas.

The ethnogenesis of the Ainu people, one of the indigenous ethnic groups of Japan, with deep roots streching back to the Jōmon period hunter-fisher-gatherers of the Japanese archipelago – looking at both genetic and linguistic data (e.g. Juha Janhunen 2018, Sato et al. 2021):

What a beautiful figure! Yellow individuals in this pedigree are of Southern European / Roman ancestry while Blue ones are more Northern European / Germanic ancestry (Green being mixed). It is interesting to see both local and non local individuals of both ancestries

It has long been observed that different cell types age at different rates and that aging is not a singular process (Wood et al., 1994) Recent formal modeling has shown why this might occur (Moorad and Ravindran, 2022)
Elon Musk says that extending human life and even reversing aging is highly possible "I've never seen someone with an old left arm and a young right arm ever in my life. That means there must be a synchronizing clock that is synchronizing across 35 trillion cells in your body," If our cells are aging in perfect unison, it means aging is driven by a central, coordinated biological mechanism rather than random, subtle decay "When we figure out what causes aging, I think we'll find it's incredibly obvious it’s not a subtle thing it's just a solvable engineering problem"
