Plus, sexist creep. Those BET music videos were even worse than MTV in their sexual objectification of women. Also, they promoted internalized racism by using light-skinned women of color as their standard of beauty. I'd say Johnson and Trump have a lot in common.

This is so fucking crazymaking. The handful of rich bastards who own everything are selling out their own children and grandchildren to get even more money they can't even spend. And they've managed to convince enough white people that the browns and blacks who will inevitably have to move northward when the equatorial regions become uninhabitable are the real threat.

If you've heard of the Fermi Paradox (if life starts so easily, where are the aliens?), there's an idea that tries to explain why there aren't aliens all over the place. It's called the "Great Filter", and it postulates that there is something that happens that keeps life - once it starts - from getting to the point where an intelligent species spreads across the galaxy. The real question about the Great Filter is what side of it humanity is on.

Maybe we're on the wrong side, and heading hell-bent for the Filter.....

What they mean is that it will cost executives jobs.

How do we know what ‘intelligence’ is? And how can we quantify it if we have nothing else to compare ours with, especially if we can’t/won’t even acknowledge the different types of intelligence in creatures that already share our space? Our inflated sense of self-importance is problem #1 when attempting to figure out the rest of existence.

The shelf life, I think, is a function of locality and time. A given life form has a limited immediate environment in which to develop and thrive... evolve. If it begins to out grow it’s environment’s capability to support it, the options are to stop growing or expand environments. If the animal possesses the ability to access and adapt to new environments, it will survive. If it can’t adapt, it fails to thrive. I think the universal function of existence of life is entropy. Things expand from their source, energy moves, things change. But the universe favors efficiency.
