My main issue was with the "belief" and "order" parts so I didn't even notice that I wrote it wrong. In science, there's no concept of order or chaos. These are results of how humans process information and perceive their environment.

Relativity, or any other theory with predictions supported by experimentation are facts, not the order of things. If we find something that might be colloquially called out of order, this means the theory ought to be amended or replaced. This has no bearing on the actual phoenomenon, which was never in contradiction with the occurrance. They also don't require belief beyond the acceptance that our observations ar egenerally accurate.

I should go into why I find his classification of religion entirely off but I'm too sleepy to muster the energy.

Relativity is as much belief in supernatural order as radiation poisoning is divine retribution. I don't even want to think how ignorant one must be to define religion that way, or single out Islam and Buddhism.

The book is "A Brief History of Mankind" and every chapter I read was as bad as this, full of conjecture drawn from mere bits of evidence, grasping at straws to make grand claims without ever indicating a mechanism for how a thing came to be. Even bad historians make the effort to find a proponderance of evidence, while this guy's methods resemble a certain psychologist.

Is there a neurotypical version of this? I couldn't catch any of that.

Even the attempt is hilarious because it's not like we haven't got a decent quality version of the image. I know it's not 4k or whatever but you can clearly see Neo, unlike the "upscale".

I didn't know there really was a dress code, didn't Kirsten Sinema vote against $15/hr minimum wage wearing rags or something?

You can't fool me, everyone knows satanists only sacrifice babies.

More importantly, WHERE THE HELL IS VOLCEL VANGUARD?!

People don't join groups that are amorphous blobs in their minds. Putting a human face on union activities is vital to get people to join. Preferably that'd be their own co-workers, people they've already got an established relationship with, but in the absence of that someone to be a figure to just be seen is necessary.

It's a double edged blade though. Hero worship developing is a potential problem as you've said, and in shorter term the faces representing the unions will be marred by MSM as best they can. If the unions can't keep on building goodwill these leaders will be a factor pushing people even after they've gone.

The microraptor weighed around a kg, so I'd swat it in my panicked flailing and feel like shit afterwards.

My favourite part of the holding your baby fee story is that whenever the photo makes the rounds on reddit or wherever, people try to explain the situation, i.e. relay the explanation the PR department of the hospital issued. The "explanation" is that the regular procedure is to take the baby away immediately for medical reasons I don't remember. Either the hospital is lying and this was a bullshit charge people with a newborn couldn't object to, or they really have an inhuman procedure that charges a new mother for one of the most human things she can do. I don't even know which would be worse.
