hear, hear! The "War is peace" line is one of the things I don't like about Orwell. Sometimes waging war is the only way to ensure peace. For instance, we are now largely at war with the Muslim world, with thousands of Islamists spilling into Europe to cause havoc. War is the only way to ensure peace!

Pacifism is Morally Indefensible
by cofty ini have been surprised recently to see so much support by ex-jws for the watchtower's refusal to fight and kill.
in my opinion it is a vice masquerading as a virtue.
of course war should always be a last resort but there are occasions that it has to be done.

fact is universities these days are rampant with Marxist propaganda. no wonder we are only seeing incremental changes!

epigenetics is not proven to be all that important compared to natural selection or sexual selection...
I ask for recent scientific theories. everyone tells me I am an idiot and give me examples of incremental change. Triggered much?
What THEORY is driving AI?
Neural networks? Been around for 60 years.
See where I am going?

so which new theories have science come up within the past decades?
DNA is like 70 years ago... evolution 150... just seems to me that there are few new theories these days and more shiny tech... not really new ideas.
but perhaps you can illuminate me?

someone comes up with a new scientific idea and it is validated by the scientific method (see the first page).
That wasn't so hard now was it, honey?
So what theory has been discovered in the past 50 years comparable to Quantum Mechanics or Einsteins theory?

great example! planes look pretty much the same today as they did 50 years ago, only you have no room.
or take space X. people are flipping out because someone built a rocket which is crappier than the Appollo rocket which is 50 years old.
Or someone else found a way to put a bunch of laptop batteries in a normal car. quick! give him 100M of taxpayer money!
Those who disagree, tell me about the theory that has been discovered most recently?

"what makes me formidable". lol.
google the Dunning-Kruger effect.
fact: greatest scientific discovery of last year was gravitational waves. they have been known for 100 years.
science is not progressing like it used to. tell me what the latest theory was that is actually true?
PS: String theory is so far unproven speculations.

DJS: Thanks for the arrogance (NOT).
Life expectancy has stagnated after improving greatly in the first half of the 20th century. Sorry seems like you need to look at the cartoon that was posted on page one: data wins.
not saying tech (DNA editing) hasn't improved, but DNA (science) was discovered like 50 years ago...

Quite frankly, I think a good case can be made that science has stagnated in the past decades. All the stuff that is real science (Einsteins theory or Quantum Mechanics) is more than 50 years old and today most innovation is hyped technology like Tesla and Google which are just putting things together in a new way that make ppl go "wow". even the internet did not involve any new science..
perhaps this explains why the standard of living has stagnated? we are all just trapped in a zero sum game...
